Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

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

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

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

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

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

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

Consistently wrong since 2002

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

He really is that stupid.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Someone check on Kevin Drum.

    Excellent. My beau, ablogymously referred to as Doc M, got the Doc part of his name at Stanford. We were out on the streets of Pasadena CA (taking a sick powerbook to the Apple Store for consultation — fitting, in light of your Macish posts). We saw many a person clad in UCLA-wear, and I saw some bearing Notre Dame upon their clothing. Aah, I astutely reasoned. Must be a game today at the Rose Bowl. Doc M was wearing an old Stanford tee shirt, and as we made our way to the Apple store, someone said to him, “Good luck tonight” or some such. We were more concerned about bad RAM sockets than what was happening with Stanford, but your post makes it all clear.

    As a Cal alum, I hate Stanford with a passion. But not nearly as much as I hate the smug bastards at USC. So as much as I hate to say this, I think a “GO TREES” chant is in order.

    Un. Fucking. Believable.

    4th and a cab ride. TD. One foot. One hand snatch catch. FORTY FRIGGIN POINT DOGS.

    Bigger than UM-Appy. Bigger than Louis-Syracuse. With a backup QB, ON THE FUCKING ROAD. Hyperbole doesn’t do it justice.

    Simply unfathomable.

    Southern California is an odd bird in the college football world. They cheat enough to be an SEC school, but because of geography they’re in a league of schools that AFAICT more or less try to be colleges with football teams attached instead of vice versa.

    At any rate, since Vanderbilt stank it up yesterday I’m happy to see Rice, Northwestern and Stanford all win in the same week. I guess I should count BC too but that’s not a surprise. I can’t bring myself to count Notre Dame in all that.
