Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

I really should read my own blog.

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

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

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

People are weird.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

    When did the Saints forget how to tackle.

    Why do I have this feeling that the second half of this game is going to be as wild as the Super Bowll forth quater between New England and Carolina back in 2004? I bet this game ends up like 38-35..

    I was worried that the Colts were going to walk over the Saints, even at the end of the 1st quarter. Now I actually think the Saints have a chance to win it.

    If they can get the D to start taking the ball away, they could do this.

    I’m from Indy, and lived in New Orleans, so I’m just looking for a good game with lots of offense. Beer, also. But it’s uncanny how Manning can throw a ball 30 yards, at a moving target no less, and hit within inches of perfect.

    The Saints aren’t gonna win by kicking FGs.

    I’d rather he express his convictions through organizations that are pro-life rather than Focus on the Family which is just pro-Republican (which means pro-fetal life, screw everyone else). I’m not pro-choice about abortion, but I can understand how those who are don’t care for Tebow’s involvement. And I certainly think CBS is reprehensible for its issue-ads switcheroo.

    Watching him show, finally, some emotion hoisting that trophy is sweet. He’s as cool as they come, never flustered, always businesslike. But he knows how much it means to everyone, to the city.
