Indeed You Can Go From the Frying Pan to the Fire
Gannon + Out = Good
Rick Perry + In = Holy Crap
Seriously, Rick Perry has replaced Bannon on the National Security Council.
Yes, Dancin’ Rick.
Y’all, I am sleeping under my bed tonight.

Y’all, I am sleeping under my bed tonight.
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.
At least he is stupid scary instead of evil scary.
1Since Perry has difficulty remembering three things, his first act will be to simplify the number of DEFCON levels from five, to two. In the future we’ll either be at DEFCON 1 or DEFCON 5, nothing in between. And let’s hope he doesn’t confuse the highest number with the highest threat.
Or else:
2WHOOPS!
Oh great! Ms. Juanita Jean Herownself is hiding under her bed, Truly Texan is offering band aid size words of comfort in the middle of a hemorrhage, while Rick the optimist thinks pRick Perry can be taught to count.
Let’s all hope the person carrying the “football” has the good sense to run as far away as possible from Donnie, if he gets that nukular gleam in his eye. Breaking tackles from the Secret Service shouldn’t be much of a problem, if their recent record in any indication.
3O dear God, so Rickey is not only in charge of making sure we don’t accidentally blow ourselves to bits he is now one of the ones that makes sure that we don’t purposely turn ourselves into charcoal briquettes. I would say make a will but there will be no one to leave anything to. As Tom Lehrer says, “We Will All Go Together When We Go”.

Good Lord, when I saw that Bannon was out, I was moderately relieved, but PERRY????????????????? I think fallout shelters will be coming back ASAP.
5Might be good news on Scotus front. Hang on to your hats.
6Well, since Rick now oversees our nuclear stockpile, someone who is not a real deep thinker probably thought this made some sense.
7Love the Freudian misprint where “Bannon” becomes “Gannon”, a white house “reporter” many of us still remember.
8Gannon + out was a slightly different take on current events than I expected.
He wasn’t out so much as he was outed.
The Secretary of Energy is SUPPOSED to be on the NSC. It’s part of the law that created the NSC. Somehow they missed that the first time around.
9Dancin’ ??!??
Looks more like old Rick is performing the Heimlich maneuver on his partner, but his facial expression is that of the one with something stuck in his gullet.
10So, they needed another yell leader after Bannon was dumped. From intolerant to ignorant in one fell swoop. Winning bigly.
11pRick will do anything the repugnant party tells him to do, just another rubber stamp. At least, (Maybe) he will not be taking instructions from Breitbart.
12Oh yes, I saw him on DWTS, he did not dance! She was the Dancer, he was the pole!
As SecDef General Mattis organized the ouster of Bannon, I suspect Rick’s “promotion” was the General’s way of keeping closer control over the nukes.
13Well, that’s just wonderful! Thirteen people (who had been on a church retreat) lost their lives last Thursday when a 20 year old man, who was texting while driving near Garner State Park, veered his big dully head-on into the small bus the people were on. The bus was boxed by a barrier. The young man lived and one person in the bus survived, but is still in the hospital.
My first thought when I heard of the accident was: “Well, I hope Perry is happy now because that sumbitch vetoed the bill that would have made texting while driving in Texas illegal. He vetoed it because of “free-dumb”.
14The horrifying part is that this seems like an improvement. At least the former governor of Texas has a foggy idea about how government works (“works” in the Texas sense) which does seem like a step in the right direction.
15The woman “dancing” with Rick obviously wishes she was somewhere…anywhere…else.
16Soooooo ….. hmmmmmmmm …. Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww… 8(
17Con Man Don is either monumentally clueless about the requirements of government or he is trying to destroy it by choosing complete incompetents to fill positions. Well, maybe both . . .
18Well! we went from a foaming psychopath to a fawning sycophant.
Actually, PKM, that was my thought about Mr Perry’s partner in that photo; it looks like his wife Anita.
And I think, Lynne, that Anita has been wishing she was anywhere else for decades now!
19Don’t worry. You can’t start a fight until somebody counts “one two three go.” And little Rick can’t count that high.
Butch Cassidy: “If there ain’t no rules, let’s get this fight started. Somebody count one two three go!”
Rick Perry: “One, two, . . . um . . . oops.”

20Others have tried to find something positive in this Dog and Pony Show, so I’ll give optimism a shot too:
“We might be slightly less f**ked now than we were 24 hours ago.”
There. How’d I do?
21“I think fallout shelters will be coming back ASAP.
“
that was my first thought, upon reading this post. we are effing well doomed!
22Well, I actually do see an “improvement” (if you can call it that) in this situation. Bannon made it pretty obvious that he was running the national security show and the rest of that group were simply mantelpiece ornaments. Because of his obvious “abilities” I tend to see the arrangement with Perry quite the other way around. I bet the rest of the guys in that group see it pretty much the same way and are probably heaving a half sigh of relief. Question: what if Perry can’t make all the meetngs? Does this group have the necessity of a quorum? Heck. The guy does have that piece of property with the objectionable name where he goes to hunt(?) whenever he wants to. And I would also like to know if Perry actually shows up every day at the DOE to do his job. I can’t see him giving up being a slouch for any reason.
23People say that having a good haircut is an advantage in getting a new job.
