Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

The words do not have to be perfect.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

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

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

    I’ve come to the realization that baseball is the best sport, since there is almost always action. Even if it’s slow action. And the umps can’t screw with the game too much. Compared to football/basketball.

    Also, Jackie Bradley Jr. needs a hit. 3 outs so far, two of them LOUD!

The Eastern Conference cup/trophy was donated to the league by one of the Princes of Wales and the conference was named for that position as a result. Clarence Campbell, IIRC, was a league official (and professional son of a bitch), and that’s why the Western Conference was named for him.

    ETA: the divisions also used to be named for people. They were Adams, Smythe, Patrick, and Norris. There are awards named for all of those guys too.

    @Bitter Scribe:

    BTW, why the fuck is the Eastern Conference trophy called “the Prince of Wales trophy”?

    It used to be the the NHL’s conferences and divisions were named for individuals in the sport’s history. What is now the Eastern Conference was, from 1974-93 called the Prince of Wales Conference; it actually got its name from the trophy, rather than the other way around. The Prince of Wales Trophy was first awarded in 1926, and has been given out based on eight different criteria in its life. It got its name because it was donated by Prince Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII until his abdication).

    The other historical names from the 1974-93 period were:

    Clarence Campbell Conference (now the Western Conference): Campbell was the NHL’s president from 1946 to 1977.

    Adams Division (which was roughly the Northeastern Division until the last edits): Jack Adams played in the NHL at its inception, but is best known as the coach of the Red Wings during their (first) glory days in the 1940s and 50s. His name is still on the Coach of the Year award.

    Patrick Division (now roughly the Metropolitan Division): Lester Patrick played before the NHL was created, and is responsible for much of the modern rulebook.

    Norris Division (now roughly the Central; during its heyday, it was known mostly for bad hockey): James Norris bought the Red Wings in 1932, cleared up the team’s debts and managed it through those first glory days. It’s his name on the award for the Best Defenseman each year, for unclear reasons.

    Smythe Division (now roughly the Pacific or Northwest Division): Conn Smythe played hockey before the First World War. After it, he was a part of a group that bought the Toronto St. Pats, and changed the name to the Maple Leafs. He owned them until 1961. The trophy for best player in the playoffs still carries his name.

    I really wish the NHL had kept the tradition of naming its pieces by historical names rather than the boring geographic ones.

    Edit: Everyone beat me because of my pedantic ways.

    @Bitter Scribe:

    `I wonder what those guys are saying when they start shoving each other after the whistle.

    One of the many reasons I’ve come to prefer women’s hockey to the men’s game is that they don’t insist on pushing and shoving each other after every whistle. Usually. If it does happen, it’s probably an Ohio State game.

    @Tissue Thin Pseudonym: OTOH, you provided detail that no one else bothered to do. And nice OSU random dis.

    @Omnes Omnibus: The funny thing is that’s a pretty accurate statement. If Schlamazel were on, he’d back me up on that, and he’s not from Ann Arbor like I am.

    Three years ago, one of the OSU players (Julia MacKinnon, who just used up her last eligibility, and who I will not miss in the slightest) instigated a bench clearing brawl at the end of a game against Bemidji State. Eleven players from each team got fighting majors and one game suspensions; the league didn’t let them stagger the suspension, so the next night’s game was played with only twelve players dressed for each team.

    Easily the dirtiest team in the WCHA, no matter how much I wish I could give that label to North Dakota.

    @Miss Bianca: Originally. My father was on the faculty there and I grew up in Ann Arbor. I’m a Gopher now, though.

    @Omnes Omnibus: It’s just that he’s a useless twerp with huge ears. Plus I’m still jealous of him getting with Princess Di.
