Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The willow is too close to the house.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

“But what about the lurkers?”

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

The revolution will be supervised.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

In my day, never was longer.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

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

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Second rate reporter says what?

    Ridiculous that Klay Thompson only has one foul.

    Crowd in Oakland is cracking me up booing Bron on every touch. He’s playing well, but it underscores how much he doesn’t play like this and has the Finals record he does.

    Dubs missing Green. Splash Co may need both of their guys to show out.

    Cavaliers, but really just because the Lebron hate has become tiresome. Also because I want to see a game seven.

    @efgoldman:

    ETA: They just said he’s having an MRI and is “done for the night.” Without having seen how he got hurt, I’m guessing he’s done for more than that.

    He’s a big man and his knee went 3 to 4 inches back further than his thigh. He’s done for the season, not just the night.

    LeBron and Kyrie both ran out of gas in Game 4 4th quarter. GS really misses Dremond Greene

    “Look here, Rumpole; I would advise you to take this matter seriously.”

    “And I would advise you, Ballard, if you can find a taxidermist willing to undertake the work, to get stuffed.”

    Man, Leo McKern could deliver a line.
