Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Everybody saw this coming.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

The revolution will be supervised.

    Yes, it gets better than this.

    0-8.

    Their next three games are at formerly ranked UCLA, then at home against a soon-to-be-top-ten BC team and then USC.

    No guarantees, obviously. If they beat UCLA or BC it would hardly be Appalachian State redux. But 0-8 is very possible.

    As we in DC once said about the Cowboys during a 1-15 season, let’em lose ’til their ears bleed!

    Of course, the Redskins are about 100 games below .500 since then and the Cowboys have won three Super Bowls, so maybe karma is a bitch.

    What level of sustained mediocrity would cost ND their NBC deal (and perhaps prompt them to fully join the Big 10, if they would have them)? Or no matter how bad it gets for a few years will the audience always be there?

    Ah, and Cal pulls it out in the last second against Oregon, and that hooligan duck went home crying.

    My GOD. This Saturday really cleared the board didn’t it? Six of the top 10 lost! The top team in the SEC East is KENTUCKY right now! KENTUCKY! That’s like having Duke atop the ACC! THAT JUST AIN’T RIGHT!

    I blame my own South FLorida Bulls for this nightmare. They started an avalanche of upsets. No, no, wait, that’s not fair. Appalachain State! That’s it! Or better yet, BLAME CANADA! … No, maybe not.

    And USC tried really hard to throw away their game against Washington, but the Huskies refused to take it…

    Eh John, Tim! Did you know that the Texas Tourism ad box comes up as a huge code strand that shoves everything waaaay over to the right of the screen? I know every thing’s bigger down there, but sheesh.

    Any way: Woooo! Go Terds!

    Ty Willingham? He’s gone from Notre Dame to Washington. Unsurprisingly, now that he’s playing a schedule that is required to contain other real semi-pro teams, he’s losing. A lot.

    In Willingham’s defense, the team he inherited was in shambles after the Rick Neuheisel years. While far from the Huskies of old, they have recently been showing some signs of life.

    But… but… if Notre Dame doesn’t get into a bowl game, then I won’t be able to make an easy twenty bucks betting against them. I count on that twenty to offset my other bowl game picks!
