Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Come on, man.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

People are weird.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

No one could have predicted…

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Sunday’s European League Games

Before I start the listings, I just want to say as an Arsenal fan, I cannot tell you how happy I was to see Chelsea be eliminated from the FA Cup by virtue of Ashley Cole blowing his penalty kick. Yes, I know that Phil Neville scored the winner, but Cole blew his attempt and badly so. There are few players in the sport I despise as much as Ashley Cole.

All times are EST.

England:

As Thayli noted in the comments to the previous post, there is one English Premier League game this weekend: seventeenth place West Bromwich Albion (WLDLD) hosts twentieth place Wolverhampton (LLLWL) at 6:55 a.m.

In FA Cup action, there are two games scheduled for Sunday.

Manchester City plays League One contender – and the oldest professional club in the world turning 149 this year – Notts County. Coverage starts at 8:55 a.m.on Fox Soccer Plus.

Arsenal faces League One Leyton Orient at 11:30 a.m. on Fox Soccer Channel.

Italian Serie A:

League leaders AC Milan (WWDDW) pay a visit to the Veneto to take on thirteenth place Chievo Verona (DWWDL) at 9:00 a.m on Fox Soccer Channel.

Sixteenth place Catania (LLDLW) makes the trip to the mainland to face off against third place Napoli (WWLWW) at 2:30 on Fox Soccer Channel.

German Bundesliga:

Second place Bayer Leverkusen (LWWLW) hosts seventeenth place Stuttgart (WDLWL) at 10:30 on Gol TV.

Spanish La Liga Primera:

Twelfth place Hércules (LLLLW) travels to ninth place Sevilla (LWDDL)at 1 p.m. on Gol TV.

First place Barcelona (WWWWD) hosts fifth place Athletic Bilbao (WWWWL) at 3 p.m. on Gol TV in what should be the match of the weekend.

Thirteenth place Racing Santander (LLDDW) visits eighth place Getafe (LLLWD) at 10:55 a.m. on ESPN Deportes.

France Ligue 1:

Tenth place Toulouse (LWLWL) hosts fourth place Rennes (LWLWW) on Fox Soccer Plus at 2:55 p.m.

Finally, on Monday, there is another FA Cup match: West Ham United v Burnley, a club in the Championship. Coverage starts at 2:55 p.m. on Fox Soccer Plus.

    Gotta say that Crawley Town left it all on the field vs. Man U. today, gave 110 percent (or metric equivalent), etc., etc. They seemed a little overawed in the first half, but they outplayed Man in the second half, and I would have loved to see Brodie’s late header go in.

    And was it me or was Wayne Rooney acting like a dick (more than usual)?

    @Steeplejack: It’s so rare that we get to communicate through a time warp. How are things back in 2002?

    Okay, okay. Sheesh. I guess when I have seen him lately he has been on his best behavior.

    Hmm, new(ish) bug in FYWP. When I edited my previous comment and put in a hyperlink, FYWP screwed it and prefixed it with the link for this thread. But I digress.

    Anyway, speaking of time warps, I always picture Rooney as the mean, gay-baiting older brother (unseen) of the kid in the video for Bronski Beat’s “Smalltown Boy.”

    ETA: Nope, did it to myself. Forgot to put in the http prefix. Fuck me, WordPress.

    Crawley did not look like a non-League team. If they get promoted, they will do some damage in League Two next year.

    Looks like Sporting WhoCares is the big winner here.

    And yet again.

    Calling Man Utd “Man U.” is an insult akin to calling Marshall the “Marshall Thundering Crash.” So knock it off.

    @Auguste:

    Sorry if I offended your delicate sensibilities. I am not aware of all soccer futbol traditions. I believe the Burt’s Bees Butt-Salve is on Aisle 9.

    Between the UEFA Champions League, league play and the FA Cup, the top flight English teams have got to be a bit tired. Arsenal just came from beating Barcelona, and now they have to play an overperforming tier 2 team. This is when upsets happen.
