Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.
We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.
Technically true, but collectively nonsense
I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.
Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?
Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.
Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.
Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

This blog will pay for itself.
This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.
They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!
And we’re all out of bubblegum.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

I’m still bummed that Liverpool choked in the second half of this year’s Europe league final and threw away a spot in next year’s Champs League.
I’m rooting for Atletico. Because they’re not Real Madrid.
RealityBites
I wish Zidane well, but only if Real isn’t playing Barcelona. I have mixed feelings about this game. Que sera, sera
Captain C
@Amir Khalid:
This.

Alicia Keys and Andrea Bocelli have sung their songs, let the football begin.

OK, so this is the European Championship League?
Shell
Oy, I was waiting for a new thread, and it had to be a sports one?

@raven:
The UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) Champions League, the top continent-wide club championship. This match is the final.

I’m in Spain. Streets are empty.
Very quiet. For now….
Not RM my bet and wish as well.

@Amir Khalid:
I’m an underdog, anti-rich-dynasty kind of guy, so, yeah, Atlético.
Steeplejack (phone)
And Real Madrid goes up as soon as I post. Of course.
Amir Khalid
Feh.
Thor Heyerdahl
Well the gooners aren’t in it so it’s already a win for everyone ;)
In any case – go Atlético!
FourTen
I just watch it because I like that part where they go “The Chaaaaapioooonsss!”
Mwbugg
Anybody else unable to watch on DirectTV?
JCJ
Wow! That sucked.
Amir Khalid
For crap’s sake, HOW CAN YOU MISS A PENALTY?!
JCJ
Nice save!
JCJ
Amazing that Real did not score. Now an equalizer!
Temporarily Max McGee (Soon Enough to Be Andy K Again)
@Mwbugg:
You need Direct TVto pick up your local FOX affiliate?
Amir Khalid
Atleti equalise! YES!!
Mwbugg
Never bothered to get an antenna. Live in hinterlands of Henderson County, KY.

@Mwbugg:
Ahh, I see.
Amir Khalid
It goes to extra time.
Steeplejack (phone)
Atlético look like they might hang on. No idea who would be favored in penalty kicks.
SRW1
What does Pepe have to do to get sent off?
JCJ
@SRW1: perhaps he has to go full Nigel DeJong
Amir Khalid
Penaltes.
JCJ
On to penalty kicks!
SRW1
Simeoni famously can’t watch penalty shoot-outs.
Tony J
Question is are there going to be more than five players left on either side with the legs to take a proper penalty? It’s like a cramp convention out there. Bale and Ronaldo look like they coud seize up at any time.
Good game, though.
Randinho
Pepe should change his name to Wussy. Trust me Pepe: any love tap to your face can only be an improvement.
SRW1
Meh!
Steeplejack (phone)
Oh, jeez, I wouldn’t want to be that guy!
And it’s over.
Amir Khalid
Atleti miss one penalty and it’s the Champs League to Real. Pout.
JCJ
Bummer
Tony J
Man, I really, really hate penalties. Poor Juanfran, bad luck Atletico.
Still, the Euros start soon. Really looking forward to that.

From the BBC liveblog:
Ouch.
