Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’m only here for the duck photos.

I personally stopped the public option…

Good luck with your asparagus.

… makes me wish i had hoarded more linguine

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

It’s not even safe to go out and pick up 2 days worth of poop anymore.

This is how realignments happen…

All your base are belong to Tunch.

Deploy the moving finger of emphasisity!

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

What fresh hell is this?

Gastritis broke my calculator.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Just a few bad apples.

Shelter in place is one thing. Shelter in pants is quite another.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

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

We can agree to disagree, but i’m right.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Is anyone here in the path of Hurricane Nate? Looks like it might be a little stronger than they figured at first, so stay safe.

    Washington (the real Huskies) and Cal don’t kick off until 7:45 Pacific time tonight. Who thought that was a good idea?

    NWSL semi-final Portland at Orlando. Now that’s entertainment.

    O/T In which Glenn Greenwald (I know, I know) commits an act of actual important journalism–federal government is completely in bed with Big Ag to strangle public knowledge of their vile practices. Hey, it’s only our food supply, so no big.

    Do not read over lunch.

    @trollhattan: The Pac-12 Network needs to be shit-canned, and the Commish needs his @ss kicked. Looks like the Coogs get their first test in Eugene, I hear they five of their last seven games on the road, still I want them and the DAWGS(Memo to Steve in the ATL, that is what the Huskies are referred to here) to run the table and make it an Apple Cup where one has to be very careful which sports-bar to go.

    @raven: did you hear that bit on the Vanderbilt tradition of “blowing the Admiral”? I was signed up to go their both undergrad and law school–this makes me glad I changed my mind twice!

    ESPN. This morning on gameday:
    “College GameDay’s Kirk Herbstreit responded to Chris Petersen’s complaints about late-night Huskies kickoff times today, saying the Washington head coach should be thanking the Worldwide Leader for airing their games at all.”

    -As someone who stays up late on the east coast, I love having a good game on that late.

    Do you know that Vanderbilt never visited the university?

    Nobody gets the Pac 10 network, it doesn’t exist. However, there is the shitty Pac-12 network.

    @raven:
    They’re right out. The redeeming aspect is listening to a game that includes Utah because every time they announce a “Ute” has done something I flash to My Cousin Vinny, “Dese two Utes…”

    Im in New Jersey. I keep waiting for the upper East Coast’s turn to get hit in this bizarre Hurricane season. Though most of the time, when a storm moves up the coast, it veers off eastward and just beats the crap out of Long Island.

    @Steve in the ATL: One of our racing coaches was trying to get people to believe that the Vanderbilt start was named after his alma mater. They do share a namesake, but the start was named for the commodore, not the school.

    Back (waaaayyyy back) even when I cared about college foosball* I couldn’t name all the members of the old SWC. Rice? Yes, pretty sure. SMU? No. TCU? uhhhh… all that mattered then was Texas & Arkansas anyway. What’s the old SWC’s name now? I’ll have to google it.

    *Currently I’m more likely to watch a college game than the pros: more action, fewer flags. But concussions, NFL billionaires are turning me off to the game at all levels. I’ve lived to see the Pats win a Super Bowl (or five), it can all go away now…

    I have a question. Is the haircut with the sides of the head shaved and the remainder on top pomaded into a grease spot the latest in Nazi tonsorial style? If the young man with said tonsorial style is strolling along wearing a sport coat, white shirt, khakis, and a bow tie holding his blonde girl-friend’s hand do these facts confirm or refute the proposition that he has a Nazi haircut? Lastly, if all other males within a three block radius are wearing Levi’s or Bermuda shorts with tee-shirts or golf shirts and it’s Saturday morning and 65 degrees F, does this further confirm the initial proposition that the hairstyle described is a Nazi special? If so, should I have assumed he is a Nazi or a Nazi dupe and punched him in the face?

    Side shave and pomade topknot deserves a punch no matter what the politics. *hrumph hrumph get off my lawn*
