Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

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

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

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

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

This really is a full service blog.

Bark louder, little dog.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

    I’m sorry your Steelers lost, John. I hope Tunch will not have to suffer any further indignities because of it – he looked pretty pissed off in that last pic ;-)

    Next up for our genial host: Backyard Brawl on Friday.

    I cannot fucking believe that the Civil War is going to decide which Oregon school gets to go to the Rose Bowl and hang another embarrassing loss on Ohio State.

    Should be interesting to see who starts against the Ravens next week: Batch or Roethlisberger.

    Wow. The most fun I’ve had watching the Chiefs all year. They deserved the win. And it probably saved the coach’s job.

    If the Steelers lose Roethlisberger, that’s it. He’s their offense, period.

    I had to travel back in time to post this because I had a heart attack in the last two plays of the Lions game.

    John, it’s your punishment for not properly fulfilling your bet from last week.

    Also, 2005 called and said there’s nothing wrong with losing to the Chiefs..

    Giants finally won a game, and it only took my flying to Paris to make it happen!

    Dude, the Chiefs? That’s like the Red Wings losing to a character in a Batman Comic book! Just shouldn’t happen!

    You know who’s not an NFL quarterback? Chris Simms.

    @Bodhi:

    Yeah, I don’t think the Chiefs were going to fire Haley after 1 year. Herm Edwards left that team a mess.

    @licensed to kill time: Reagan would have been an awesome NFL quarterback. He would have been, too, if it weren’t for all the soshullists in the league undermining America’s greatness.

    On a positive note, the Jets are certainly a nice little pick me up after that Colts disaster last game. Go Pats! And thank you Miami for Wes Welker!

    Poor Jets. Suffering the curse of Braylon Edwards.

    @ John Cole – Cheer up buckaroo. It could be worse. You could be a Bills fan.

    @Joel: Could be worse; they could be relying on the talents of Scott Mitchell instead of those of Charlie Batch. /chortle

    @Morbo: I was fully expecting Mike Tomczak to take the field when Roethlisberger went down.

    I got a buddy who’s a Chiefs fan. He’s probably doing cartwheels right now.

    I feel your pain, John.

    Can I say how much I hate Brett Favre?

    As long as the Bengals are the Bengals, John, you’ll always have hope.

    John, your disgust may be assuaged. Bengals are about to lose to the Raiders.

    @Ted: The wages of schadenfreude are a fumble on the kickoff when you only need to kneel on it and go to overtime.

    Oakland beat Cincy! Pats (right now) tied for second seed!

    Haha, Bengals outdid the Steelers and the Browns by losing to the Raiders. My division sucks.

    Existenz, the curse is real. He has cursed the Browns even after he’s left. The Jets will have to release him & then get defenestrated to have any hope.

    Do it before it’s too late!!!!

    Spoken by Browns fan. Maybe one day we’ll have a good team again. One day….
