Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

People are complicated. Love is not.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickle?”

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Optimism opens the door to great things.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

They Were Better

Congrats to the Jags, who took down my Steelers by the score of 9-0. No excuses- they were just better. The Jags were a solid team last year, and they look to have picked up right where they left off. Good luck to them, and I hope we don’t see them in the playoffs.

    The Jags didn’t win this; Bennie couldn’t complete a pass when it mattered…unless the guy was wearing black and purple.

    And someone has to finally hold Coach William responsible for not recognizing–or not caring–how rusty Worthlessberger was and to bring in Charles Batch at the start of the 4th. IF they would have opened up the pass with 6-7-yard slants and 15-yard fades…then Bill Parker woulda had much more room on the outside to gain yards AND get out of bounds for clock management. And from what I saw last week, Batch was more effective, more confident, and more skilled at getting those completions.

    It will be very interesting to see how they respond next week. Another bad game, and Batch’s moniker will be all over the sports-radio airwaves…

    Bennie couldn’t complete a pass when it mattered

    “When it mattered,” of course, being “the entire fucking game.” His throws were terrible, absolutely. But the Jags also did a really good job, and even though Leftwich wasn’t all that great in this game, I think he’s a fairly underrated QB.

    I have to agree that Ben didn’t look very good during the game. Also, the Jag(offs) defence was awesome. I don’t think tho, that Charlie Batch should have been brought in. Ben still has a good deal of rust which will only wear off during real time play. He was hurried during most offensive drives and of course we don’t have our Bus to help convert for us. The fact that the only scores in the game were FG’s says alot about both teams defence. I haven’t been real impressed by the Steelers play this past week or during the pre-season, but hopefully Ben won’t have a fever when they play next week. Ok, ok, I may be talking out my *ss, but I am a Steeler fan, and I gotta love the team win or lose. Congrats to the Jags.
