I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Infrastructure week. at last.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

    He BEE adorable. I’m off to ride in this beautiful weather. I voted today and I’m taking the rest of the day off politically. Obama will have to win today’s news cycle without me.

    An NFL open thread? CAN THIS BE!? Too bad the games this weekend all kind of stunk. (For me. Your rooting interests may say otherwise.)

    Oh, by the way, how did the wild monkey sex on the dining room table go?

    I do bee-lieve young Cole is a raging cutie!
    Old Cole is not without a certain curmudgeonly charm hisself.

    Here’s my deep thought. Election day 1) should be a national holiday to encourage voter turnout. “I couldn’t vote because I had to work” shouldn’t be something anyone has to say. 2) If not that, then at least move it to a Friday. (I’d say Saturday/Sunday, but, well, football. Might actually depress turnout.) 3) If not that, then make it illegal for employers to punish employees who show up late and can prove that they were voting.

    I picked up a couple of individuals at Whole Foods while grabbing dinner ingredients. This brew by Boulder Beer Company – ‘Hazed and Infused’, which is some kind of dry-hopped ale – is one of the less impressive craft brews I’ve had in a while. Very light-bodied, a bit spicy, and not terribly pleasing. Oh well, you can’t win them all. At least I got a new bottle cap for the future piece of artwork (form to take TBD).

    Oh, and the Jets aren’t getting crushed. Yet.

    Nice to have the Pats playing a team everybody has a reason to hate.

    (That isn’t Dallas. For historical reasons, I can’t get a proper hate going against the fucking Boyz)

    After Sean Renfree last night and Eli today, does anyone still doubt that David Cutcliffe knows how to develop quarterbacks?

    I hope John has recovered from that butt-kicking WVU got from Kansas State. Which Cincy Bungle team will show up tonight?

    @Downpuppy: I hate the Jets, because ESPN thinks they are America’s team from all the time they talk about them, hell even the G-men are chopped liver when it comes to ESPN.

    Hey, Jetties are stinking it up all by themselves, they don’t need all the hate.

    Hate the patriots. Romney’s team, Brady is Satan, Belly is Sauron.

    @rlrr:

    As if anyone would be stupid enough to click a link to your web site. maybe the folks over at the Red State Trike Force fall for that weak shit but they probably have to spit their gum out first.

    @burnspbesq:

    Amazingly, the Mountaineers are still in the Top 25 in both polls.

    Why is this amazing? College football polls are shit, especially when you get past the top 5 or so. Might as well throw darts at a board.

    What happened (again!) to the rotating tag lines? (If that’s what they’re called — you know, “Han shot first” and “All your base are belong to Tunch,” etc.)

    Just saw a Patriot version of Bill Buckner. Now ESPN will never stop talking about this. groan

    ZOMFG that did not need to be so close (what happened to defensive PI beyond y
    5 yds?) but watching Sanchez flop around like a fish on the stern pulpit was worth the three infractions I had watching that abomination of a game

    Cole, quit posting stock photos and passing them off as family members. No real kid is that cute. We have all seen WVA kids and they all look like Honey Boo Boo’s mom.
