Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

So many bastards, so little time.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

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

So very ready.

People are weird.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

    My Browns won, that’s what matters most. :) If the Ravens upset, it’ll be a 3-way tie for the lead in the AFC North. Not really sure who I’m cheering for in this matchup, to be honest. I think I’ll throw in with John because a) I hate Art Model with an undying passion, and b) the Steelers are the best chance to take the Pats down a peg or two… though it probably would mean that same fate awaits my Browns next weekend. :(

    It is morally indefensible to root for the Ravens under any circumstances. Even if said rooting were key to preventing another terrorist attack.

    That’s probably easier for you to say. I shook Modell’s hand as I walked into Cleveland Municipal Stadium the day before he announced he was moving the team to Baltimore, and he thanked me for being a great fan. To this day I loathe the man with an undying passion, and with him I loathe the Baltimore Ravens as well… so I hope you’ll understand when I say that my ideal end to this game is both teams losing.

    No Kit, it’s not easy for me to say. Model moving the team to Baltimore broke my heart. When I was playing high school football, I wore # 44 for my hero Leroy Kelly. I even convinced the coach to run a couple of plays similar to the Browns plays. They seem to have gotten some heart back this year so maybe it’s time to move on about the past.

    So… has the NFL or the TV networks given up on monday night football? Sunday night football gets the premier matchups and coverage while monday night football is on cable with new commentators. It’s like Disney uses the monday night game to tinker then transfers the successful tinkerings to the sunday night coverage. Did it prove impossible to get a competitive game on monday nights? Are the network dramas pulling too much of the tv audience? Am I reading to much into Madden/Michaels being pulled to Sunday night?

    James Harrison’s nickname is “Silverback”.

    I’m serious.

    I think we all know why, now.

    NFL Defensive Player of the Week?

    Think so.

    do not miss the hilarious goings on at the Weblogs Forum.

    SadlyNo is getting accused of cheating in a race that they’ve now said they will gladly split the award with every blog that doesn’t start with DummmieFunnies. No, I’m not joking. I wish I was. It’s nearing 10,000 views and 23 pages of comments, busting the celing on the most viewed and responded to thread in the Wizbang competition’s forum…ever.

    Begin Here…. prepare yourselves for wingnuts who have no case and are screaming bloody murder acting like they’re about to rip their heads off in protest of reality being reality.

    Sadly No! with the latest explanation.

    Just go to SN!

    The fight for the funniest blog has nosedived into one of the nastiest affairs in the history of blogging, attacking a man dying of cancer mere days before he was buried and defending it to this day…. by one of the nominees for funniest blog. No joke.

    This illustrates what would happen if deliberations for the Nobel Peace Prize were open to the public. Except – and no offense to John and Tim – the NP is meaningful.

    I grew up in Cleveland, but I have lived in New England for over 25 years. Ever since the Evil Art Model moved the real Browns, I have rooted for 1) The Patsies, & 2) The Steelers. (That team in Cleveland today are poseurs.)

    It’s always a good weekend when the midnight runaways lose.
