Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

Second rate reporter says what?

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

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

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

This blog will pay for itself.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

    Go Sharkies.

    Amazing win last night! Woot. Of course now that they’re supposed to not do anything this post season, they’ll probably win the whole thing.

    btw I posted an article in the last NHL tread that I think got et. Or at least I never could find it being posted.

    It’s sort of sweet actually and lately I feel like I need some sweetness.

    @tulip:

    I’ve become a huge fan of Rusanowsky considering I can’t get the Flyers on radio up here and I agree with you, maybe being the 7 seed means they will win it all. (Flyers are a 7 seed as well) and I always cheer for anyone playing a Pittsburgh team no matter the sport. Fuck Pittsburgh (‘cept for Strange)

    I told Veritas that Mitt would pur his foot in his mouth again sometime this weekend, and then everyone would forget about not-from-the-Obama-campaign Hilary Rosen’s not-really-a-gaffe. That rich Mormon fool had better not fail me.

    Rooting for former Kings Brayden Schenn, Andreas Lilja, and the Meat Train Wayne Simmonds in this one. Though I also like former King and Pittsburgh head coach Dan Bylsma.

    But more importantly hoping my Kings go up 2-0 on Vancouver later tonight. Mike Richards is an absolute beast. Time for Anze Kopitar to learn some playoff lessons from him.

    @MikeJ: Haa! Y’know, I don’t even care. I am surprised they got in as #4 seed, but I don’t follow it. Some of the scooter gang are into it Big Time, though. The only Preds game I “attended” was when a friend’s band was playing one of the intermissions, and he asked me to videotape it. I was there for their set, and gone right after.

    Egorger vos fils, vos compagnes !

    @HumboldtBlue:

    I’ve become a huge fan of Rusanowsky

    really? The more I have watched and listened to hockey, the worse he has sounded as a broadcaster to me. He’s almost always way behind the play on the ice, and he has some ways of saying things that get on my nerves.

    Frapalinger

    April 13, 2012 at 11:10 pm

    When asked about Sean Couturier, Jagr said, “let’s not forget he’s got to play against the best player in the league, Evgeni Malkin.” Wait untill they hear that in Pittsburg.

    April 13, 2012 at 11:54 pm

    @The prophet Nostradumbass: Aint a broadcaster who ever slapped on a headset who hasn’t been behind the play, nature of the biz and all that.

    Plus, I follow the Sharks on radio and Roozie along with Baker’s Canadian oos and boots you almost care.

    I feel your pain, Penguin fans (buff bills fan myself). Sickening as a fan to see what should be a stronger team get shellacked.

    Interesting to see Crosby get in on the fighting, though.
