Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Alexa, change the president.”

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

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

In my day, never was longer.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

Books are my comfort food!

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

T R E 4 5 O N

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

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

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

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

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

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

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

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

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

    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.

    Scott Norwood is still my hero.

    Here’s a link to AdBowl. Rate the commercials online or wait until you sober up and fax in your response. It’s a hoot.

    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
