Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

This blog will pay for itself.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Consistently wrong since 2002

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

This really is a full service blog.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

    I grew up in Massachusetts and watched the legends on TV or listened to the game on the radio. http://www.Boston.com has a lenghty article on Red Auerbach which is well worth the read. It will definitely take your mind off politics for awhile.

    The Celtics haven’t been the same since he left. I can’t even remember the last time I cared about their basketball season (and this from someone who’s still a Sox, Patriots & Bruins fan).

    Sad day.

    Being this a sports thread….

    Uh…Cowher? William? Worthlessberger has thrown FOUR picks. Just handed the Raiders the game. Perhaps you’ll use Batch next time?

    Seriously, what is it with Pitty’s infatuation with an average QB?

    Roethlisbergenheimersmith – He has a long name. It’s sounds like someone who would being an Iron Worker, or with whom you could drink Iron City beer while eating a meatball sub. That’s all I got.

    I actually think the NFL is great, actually. The whole “parity” that’s created with revenue sharing means that dynasties only exist because of talent and every team has a chance.

    Contrast this to MLB which means that it’s barely worth watching unless you’re a Red Sox or Yankee fan.

    I think this is BS received wisdom (and I say this as a diehard member of RSN) – with the exception of say the Royals the Pirates and D-Rays, most teams are in fact worth watching – Since 2001, there have been 11 different WS contestants (out of a possible 12), 16 different LCS teams and 19 different LDS teams…just saying.

    Though Red Auerbackh accomplished many great feats, he was a bit too egotistical even near the very end. I never liked the fact that he couldn’t graciously give it up to Phil Jackson as Phil was approaching or surpassing some of Red’s records. He would constantly dis Phil’s achievements making himself sound small and petty in the process.
