Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Second rate reporter says what?

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

In my day, never was longer.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

Shut up, hissy kitty!

    Oh wow, A Bullocks Oriole just landed on my Hummer feeder to siphon a drink of sugar water. It could be the same pair that first arrived last spring and nested nearby. Didn’t have the camera set up, but they are beauties. Here is a pic from last year.

    Penguins and Canadians

    ‘Habs’ comes from the French “les habitants”, the original settlers of the region.

    Unless you were joking. Go Rangers, lol.

    This post is incorrect. It should be titled “Sharks v. Red Wings, Game Three”, and the content should be “Let’s Go Sharks!”.

    @BARRASSO:

    I miss Gary Thorne too. Definitely the best play-by-play man in hockey. Mike Emrick’s not bad, but he’s no Gary Thorne.

    I’m agnostic on Habs vs. Pens, rooting for the Habs because they’re not the Canucks.

    But Die, Redwings, Die.

    Its an open thread..so I’ll throw this out. It seems to me that so many policies enacted by our friends the repubs have centered around “socializing losses and privatizing gains”. After thinking about it, even our immigration policy (or the lack thereof) is another example. We have socialized the losses (that is the social safety net providing services to the children of illegal immigrants, and ER care) and privatized the gains (that is american biz owners getting the increased profits associated with low wages, and depressing wages/benefits of legal citizens). It is so diabolical that so many policies would end up transferring wealth from ordinary taxpayers to the Oligarhy (ala GB). As thick as many right wingers are, they have leaders that are as dangerous and brilliant as any external enemy ever in the history of our republic.

    T@Pigs & Spiders:

    Cup will get raised in June. Then they let the ice melt for 90 days before the camps open for the next season. Hockey is one of the few VERY GOOD THINGS the GOP, Arizona, Mississippi, or BP hasn’t ruined for everyone else.

    I would love to see the Phoenix Coyotes publicly denounce the “breathing while brown” law.

    Good God, that Sharks game was a nailbiter. I remember leaving the bar saying “That’s it, they’re down 3-1 with 12 minutes to go in the third, there’s no way they’re going to win this” and getting home just in time to hear Marleau put them over the top in overtime. Seriously, what the hell.

    as the last line of the post immediately above this one is “one perfectly built 8 inch cock (uncut),” i read your post as “let’s go penis!”

    That was a hell of a game! Pens/Habs is going seven and I don’t dare predict the winner. Awesome matchup.

    As far as the Wings/Sharks goes… holy hell. Hey Sharks, you’ve built this rep for melting down horribly in every post-season, it’d be nice if you could go back to doing that again before us Wings fans begin jumping off roofs, kthxbye.

    Are the fans as retarded in Pittsburgh as they are in Montreal? Because I want Pittsburgh to win as quickly as possible.

    @Crza: No thanks, we prefer these Sharks out here in the Bay Area. You’ve had your fun.

    @Sirkowski: Hockey fans are retarded everywhere. Moreso on Dallas and Denver.
