Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

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

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

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

A consequence of cucumbers

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

People are complicated. Love is not.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

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

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

The frogs are rarely mistaken.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

T R E 4 5 O N

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

WVU Wins

A solid first round victory for the Eers, 75-65.

Duke on Saturday.

BTW- I have not written about them much this year, because I just do not find the playstyle as compelling as I did Beilein’s teams.

    I love sports, although admittedly not so much basketball…but is it just me or do others find College sports completely uninteresting.

    Glad your team won though John.

    Eh, I think yinz’ll be all right. You know who looked real good today? Duke.

    If only one of those wildly lanky lookin’ guys from Belmont had thought to just stand in the lane and at least consider taking a charge, West Virginia might be one of the most rooted-against teams in the country this weekend. As it stands, they’ll be one of the most rooted for – I sure would be. Good luck – –

    Ninerdave, I’m the opposite. Really can’t/don’t get into pro. Much prefer college sports. More authentic rivalries, if that makes any sense.

    Keep the faith Cole and Thuggy will entertain. Recruiting the most unsavory characters he can find, primarily transfers from dubious community colleges, is his speciality. But early flameouts, DUI’s, breaking contracts, are all part of the Circus. Enjoy!

    The boys from Belmont wore down Douche University for you, John. Finish them!

    I’m pleased to see I’m not the only Duke-hater here. I was listening to the Duke/Belmont game on my way home from work and rushed to the TV with Belmont up 1 in the closing minute. I had already conjured up an image in my mind of Belmont’s athletic studs taking it to Duke’s brainiacs, and was shocked to see how puny the Belmont players looked. Cudos to them for taking a much stronger foe to the wire.

    Not to get too political or anything, but there is lesson here for those who think a super-powered military will win every contest.

    There is still a lot of love for Huggins in Southwestern Ohio. He creates strivers who work hard in a Pistons or Steelers type way. But I still loved it when Bob Knight recently called him “400 pounds of butter”. I think it was the horrendous suit he wore in the game against Cincinnati.
    I think you’ll grow to appreciate his team’s style.

    John said (paraphrasing):
    “Beilein’s teams had a compelling playing style when he was at WVU.” Is that the best we have to look forward to in the next few years at Michigan? He must have done with mirrors down there at WVa because this season he put out an over-coached, steaming pile of dung on the floor this season for the Maize and Blue.

    Yeah actually it does, and probably part of my problem is that I never went to a college with a team. Hell even my high school teams were horrible.

    I have WVU vs Duke in the second rd. I took Duke, but I hope they loose. After looking at my sheet again, I want Duke to win, I have them in the next rd too. What a bad pick. I have w. kentucky today, what a lucky pick. Same as my kansas st. pick.
