Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

You cannot shame the shameless.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Not all heroes wear capes.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Go Stillers.

Open thread.

*** Update ***

That sucked. If Colclough goes out to field another punt this season, I am calling for Cowher to resign.

    Two turnovers lead to two touchdowns in 54 seconds. That’s just fucking great, you idiots.

    Capitals, sorry, not going back to retype.

    BEcause I live in AZ, I have to watch the Cardinals / Rams instead of what I wanted. Seahawks / Giants.

    Worthlessberger has another stellar game. Let’s see….Chaz Batch comes in and smokes Miami….they then trot out an appendix-less Worthlessberger–without conditioning and little pre-season practice. Color me surprised you got waxed.

    Until Cowher stops worshiping the Big Ben Myth and actually plays the best QB on the team, you’ll continue to get rolled. Meanwhile….another BEARS victory. Imagine that.

    Grossman for President. Word.

    I actually agree, but I also think that once Ben is healthy, he will be the best QB on the team. But as of right now, he’s not that guy. I was in favor of Batch playing last week…this week was kind of a toss-up considering Ben got a game under his belt beforehand. But he still looks pretty crappy. I know the Steelers tend to start the season slowly, but this is annoying.

    By “sucked” you mean “kept the greater Philadelphia area from committing suicide because it was so fucking AWESOME”, then yeah, it sucked. How’d you like Fat Albert running 98 yards for the touchdown? Because that was SWEET.

    Also, I’m happy I switched out Big Ben for Rex Grossman in my fantasy football team. A good choice.

    Yeah, well. You’ll get no sympathy from this Giants fan.

    New rule at my house: Football season deosn’t start until after the World Series.

    3 games in and I’m already sick of football.

    Hmmm. I don’t watch televised sports. Open Thread.

    How about this, then? Maybe good for a post topic.

    For Americans Killed in Iraq: A Period, Not a Comma:

    In a report here at E&P, we observed that in this exchange, Blitzer asked about the latest setbacks in Iraq and indications that civil war may be at hand. Bush, with a slight smile, replied, “Yes, you see — you see it on TV, and that’s the power of an enemy that is willing to kill innocent people. But there’s also an unbelievable will and resiliency by the Iraqi people…. I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is — my point is, there’s a strong will for democracy.“

    Someone explain what the fuck this asshole means.

    I think it means ‘WORST FAILURE OF A PRESIDENT EVER.’

    I thought the Preznit didn’t care for history. After all we’re going to be, you know, like Dead. His body language at the end said it all: I’m bored with this job, I’ve been on it longer than Harken. Who’s got cleanup duty, and where do I pick up my bags of money?

    Seahawks at Bears next week, going to potentially be huge. It might decide home field for the playoffs.

    This sucks on several levels. The Bears are my team, but I have a bevy of Seahawk fantasy players, including Hasselchuck and Seatle’s D. I hate weeks with these types of conflicts…

    I guess I should be thrilled that Grossman still has his spleen and other assorted innards…

    Alexander is out a couple of games with minor broken foot. That may change the Bears – Seahawks game a little (ya think?) Still Morris, Branch Strong etc. We’re not hurting for speed and receivers.
