Thanks to Ralph for the heads-up.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Love it! We ended up in a discussion at lunch over the attack on women in politics this year. We do not like to feel threatened. Have they no understanding of what threatened momma bears (or any other mommas) will do to protect the rights of their children? I saw it for myself in 8th grade when my soon-to-be high school counselor tried to tell me I couldn’t take wood shop in high school because I was a girl. I took that home to Mom, the first woman to graduate from Oklahoma A&M (now OSU) with an Associate’s Degree in Drafting. It only took 24 hours before I was signed up as the first girl in my high school to take wood shop, which I wanted to take ‘cuz my Daddy did a lot of wood work. (Had a ball in the class, too!)
1SusanF: good for you! I tried that in 1970 and got nowhere, but I didn’t have a mother with that kind of chops to stand behind me. So I nearly flunked Home Eck instead of taking wood shop, where I would have been much happier.
2The Republicans have framed the issue as “men’s morality vs. women’s health”.
Long story short: We win! Ha ha!
3“Fryer” says:
“If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s the feet that go into the stirrups that usually wear the spurs.”
4I wish, oh I wish that POTUS would retire Biden and hire Hilary for VP.
5I bet she would have a lot to say to republicans.
I have family that grew up D, just like me, but converted to R during the Nixon error. (Oh, but they’re NOT racists.) I KNOW FOR A FACT that some of them have had abortions, back in the day when it was harder to get them, and helped others in the family get them. Some of them even know Nancy Brinker and have NO good things to say about her. I bet you they will still be voting R. Why? It’s a beastly problem. Eleph-ino. (I repeat, Oh, but they are NOT racists.) Yes, unfortunately, stoopid also comes family sized.
6Rhea-I was only 4 years behind you. It was 1974 when I signed up for wood shop. Successfully avoided Home Ec. When I asked one of my friends about the class and discovered the “wonders” of thread counts in sheets, I was just as glad. *This* girl ended up with an engineering degree.
Ralph-I’m assuming by “we” you mean Dems and not men? I read it the other way the first time around and my first response was, “How do men win if women’s health suffers?”
daChipster-Oh Sweet Jesus! I’m a-gonna have to quote that one!
RA-Do a search on “Ron White stupid is forever” for a wonderful YouTube clip on this subject. Just came across it this weekend. It’s the first one on the list. So sorry for the problems “in house.”
7SusanF,
The Republicans picked the battlefield, but the Democrats will win the war.
Sorry I was not more clear.
8Back in the olden days (late 1950s), my mother owned a printing shop and I had the audacity to want to sign up for WBRay HS’s printing class. No way, no how. Seems like Ricky and the gang want to go back to that era.
