Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

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

I was promised a recession.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Infrastructure week. at last.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

    i just read a report on some conservative blogger’s website where he proved, conclusively, with his copy of Madden 92, that there’s no way this could happen.

    Is that a record for the number of laterals in a single play?

    Not only rugby, but from the looks of it, rugby sevens. Yet another reason why American football bores the hell out of me.

    Doesn’t it appear that the defence gives up at the end. That were more then just a couple of defenders just standing around and watching.

    I like how one of the announcers called it at the beginning of the play.

    The scary thing is that if the Redskins were to hire that defense, they could have kept the Pats to under 50 points.

    It would have been even better if they could have upgraded their 8mm camera to a cheap, $250 miniDVD camera. I have VHS-C tapes with more clarity.

    CNN counts 15 laterals, but I can’t keep up with them all.

    It was considerably more entertaining than usual, so I have to say it’s Rugby :-P

    That looked a lot like the Wingnuts trying to keep a smear alive in Blogistan.

    That’s nothing! You should have seen the coach diagramming the play during practice . . .

    All those laterals and not one single holding penalty.

    Well if that doesn’t prove that Scott Beauchamp and Glenn Greenwald are liars, I don’t know what ever will.
