Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

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

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

    Heh. Hey, look at it on the bright side; most of the Steelers are at the game–watching from the stands.

    CommercialWatch ’08.

    So far, they all suck. I liked the Budweiser “Rambo” commercial, and that was it. The rest are about 5 levels below bad.

    So far I have seen one amusing commercial, one that made me gag and one that probably caused near-fatal flashbacks in LSD users.

    Make that the “ROCKY” commerical… eh, has Stallone every played anyone other than Stallone, anyway?

    “yo”

    So… Tom Petty?

    I think his halftime performance pales when compared to Prince’s awesome mini-show last year in the rain.

    I recall the Buffalo-Giants Superbowl where the Giants defense shut down the high scoring Bills and won 20-19 with the Bills missing a last-seconf FG.

    Was the Obama ’08 commercial during 1/2T a first? The memory doesn’t reach back to ’04. I can’t even remember if I watched that SB.

    Unless that was the Costume Failure one, in which case I don’t remember anything much except the CF.

    They’re getting their wish.

    That was a very good Superbowl.

    I hate blowouts (unless the Raiders are playing win) and it proves the adage that defense wins championships.

    This may not be the best Superbowl ever, but it’s gotta be high on the list.

    The 1980 Raiders were the first wildcard team to win a Superbowl, but they had home field advantage for the wild card game.

    The 2007 Giants played every playoff game on the road – the lowest seed to ever win a Superbowl.

    That one pass from Manning to Tyree will live on in every NFL Films Super Bowl Retrospective… from Eli avoiding the sack to him just winging it downfield to Tyree pinning it to his helmet on the way down, just an unbelievable play in the clutch on both ends of the pass.

    Everybody out on the street in Chelsea is all sparkles.

    The fun thing though, are finding the pockets of pats fans in the throng. They’re getting verbally destroyed
