Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

“But what about the lurkers?”

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

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

This really is a full service blog.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

A Senator Walker would also be an insult to reason, rationality, and decency.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Second rate reporter says what?

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

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

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

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

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

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

Good evening all. I don’t really have much too add, except that I am glad that Arsenal finally loosened their purse strings a little.

Feel free to share what’s on your mind. Some suggested topics:

  1. Is Hope Solo’s punishment too harsh?
  2. Thoughts on the transfer market.
  3. Champion’s League Draw.

Have at it!

Football Notes and Open Thread – Start of a Regular Series

Good morning all from Brazil, where Zika is not ravaging us. Can’t say the same for my old hometown, Miami or Puerto Rico.

I hope to start posting on a weekly basis about the sport. Please feel free to add your suggestions, thoughts, etc.

Hope Solo, ffs, stop digging.

From my buddy, Kevin Raub: Neymar? No, Marta!

The English Premier League starts today. The two teams from Manchester have a new coach. Will it make a difference?

Without a doubt, the heavyweight matchup of the quarter-finals. Will Antonio Conte’s tactical wizardry be up to the task against Germany’s solid technical abilities?

Schnitzel or braciola. The choice is yours.
