Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People are weird.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

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

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

When we show up, we win.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

The lights are all blinking red.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Come on, man.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

    Let’s hope that Michigan’s defense bothers to show up today against Bowling Green.

    the heisman trophy is another thing in sports ruined by espndisney, it used to be that the heisman trophy winner was a great football player. now its a publicity stunt, with a great, or what can be sold to the audience as great, back story, i am looking at you ttboy.

    guys with huge holes in their game win the award because they are productive on a winning team. personally i have declared a 1 year moratorium on watching the sec conference, based on how they slobbered over their home-schooled, jebus loving, great white hope…

    anyway watching iowa play ball st., though i enjoy watching ga tech because that offense is fun to watch.

    Well, that’s just a shame,
    ’cause if you leave out the SEC you miss a lot of fine football and one or two Heisman candidates I can think of off hand.. I think your moratorium is somewhat misguided. I didn’t notice SEC defenses showing ‘Marjoe’ Tebow any particular reverence. I think it was the media that did most of the slobbering. Gotta get back to my tamales! Go Hawgs!

    Heading to a friend’s house to watch the Cougs get slaughtered by the University of Spoiled Children. I suppose this means I’ll have to get dressed soon…

    Depends on the extension/repeal of the Bush tax cut.

    @2th&nayle:

    and you would be surprised at how much well-played football goes on at schools outside the the sec. i also find it appealing that some places refuse to join the financial insanity that says we have to increase the athletics budget, to as much as we can bring in, because if we don’t, we won’t be able to afford athletics, oh and academics too.

    the sec has taken a cold war arms race mentality to college football, its ruining the sport by limiting the number of competitive games amongst equally matched teams, from comparably sized programs…i don’t care about bowls, or subjective rankings, at least in figure skating and platform diving the subjectivity is up front.

    The Wolverines are giving up 21 points to Bowling Green???? Can someone send their backup defensive players to Ann Arbor? They’d probably do better than what we have out there right now.

    At least our offense is looking good, even with Denard injured.

    @fucen tarmal: Oh, I agree with your point. There is a lot of good football outside the SEC. I’m just sayin’ what I’m sayin’. You boycott the SEC and you miss a lot of quality college football (as well as basketball, baseball, track, golf, tennis…. well, you get my point). Gotta run. Kickoff in 40 min. Go Hawgs! Go Hawks!

    It was a good game. Alabama played better the second half but Arkansas played until the end. imo…. Great football game.

    Nice choke job by Arkansas. That’s why Bama is Bama and Arkansas isn’t.

    Seeing Nick the Coward win one he should have lost always gives me a sad.

    Bama pulled out a win. My head still hurts from my headache but I am getting now that my team won.
