Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Petty moves from a petty man.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Good lord, these people are nuts.

“woke” is the new caravan.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Second rate reporter says what?

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

    Talk about OBSCURE REFERENCES. Jeez, John. Hey, if you are planning on moving to San Diego, better start rooting for the Toreros and/or the Aztecs.

    In the meantime, gooooo Jets and Giants! (Don’t have a college team since we moved from Evanston and stopped rooting for the Northwestern Wildcats.)

    Is John secretly japanese and havine trouble with his l’s? Yeah, I know an apostrophe for a plural is wrong, but otherwise it looks like ls, which is a distinct and common command in many shells, and just looked wrong.

    Well it’s better than football that runs until 1 o’clock in the fucking morning.

    And rooting for the Aztecs gives new meaning to the term "an exercise in futility."

    Even better, John, you’ll have to root for the Chargers. I shudder to think…

    one of the nice things about going to a school where the football team sucked (at least while i was there) is that you can adopt a team or osmose one by marriage.
    so, on behalf of all the michigan fans on my wife’s side of the family, you can have rich rodriguez back any time. (i think my brother-in-law would buy the ticket!).

    @mellowjohn:

    I’m a Torero alum who adopted Michigan (my fiance’s alma mater). I agree with your sentiment.

    OT: Yes please!

    Sarah Palin is juggling offers to write books, appear in films and sit on dozens of interview couches at a rate astonishing for most Hollywood stars, let alone a first-term governor.

    She’s the gift that keeps on giving.

    Just this past week, shortly after conducting a string of national TV interviews and skipping a state education conference, she was scolded by the Anchorage Daily News.

    And giving…

    Football here (Hawai’i) starts at 0600 on Saturday mornings, and at 0800 on Sundays. In practice, what the Sunday schedule used to mean (before Sunday Night Football) was that you could watch two games and be done by 1300, in time to spend the afternoon at the beach.

    Not such a hardship.

    I’m really, really going to miss Pat.

    Hoping to make it to Morgantown for the White Out in his honor 12/6.

    Also hoping Pitt crushes Cincy this evening.

    Divison II non-scholarship football: feel the excitement!

    Actually, USD are I-AA or whatever they call it these days. The NCAA, in their infinite wisdom, went out of their way to destroy small-college football on the West Coast back in the 90’s, when they decided to make it impossible for schools to have Div 2 football teams but Div 1 in everything else. It forced my alma mater to drop their football team.
