An Idea

January 07, 2017 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

We here at The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc. are nothing if we’re not an ideas factory.

So, the problem is that Trump is so anxious to build that damn wall that he doesn’t have time to make Mexico pay.  So he says we should pay and then Mexico will reimburse us.

I’m not comfortable with that.  However, I am comfortable with …

We should take advantage of having a fabulously wealthy President. He’s the one who wants the wall.  So, I say Trump should pay for the wall and let Mexico pay him back.

It’ll work, I tell you.

 

Weekend Treat

One of my favorite Texas news guys is Joe Holley, who can spin a yarn into a dandy memory.  And he also has the best hair of all the news guys in Texas.

This morning, Joe turned on a light bulb in my head.  He compares Donald Trump’s election to Pappy Lee O’Daniel, a Texas Governor who has been memorialized in the Coen brother’s O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Pappy was a radio personality who had never voted before he was elected governor. Hell, he hadn’t paid his poll tax so he couldn’t even vote for himself.  He ran for governor to advertise his flour, and he got elected.

So, if you’re looking to grin, let Joe lead the way.

And, just because I like you so much, here’s one of Pappy’s campaign songs.

The Dog Caught The Car

Put up or shut up.

Fish or cut bait.

Honey, if you want to run with the big dogs, you gotta get out from under the porch.

It looks like the repeal of Obamacare is gonna stall in the Senate. Rand Paul, Bob Corker, Tom Cotton, and Susan Collins are saying “No, not until we have another plan,” and a fifth senator, Lisa Murkowski is raising her eyebrows.  The Republican Senator from Nevada, Dean Heller, has got to be nervous because Hillary won his state and Obamacare is very popular there 53/46.

And guess who is having a little fun with this?

Next you’ll hear the sound of roaring silence.

They’ve had 8 years to come up with a plan. I seriously doubt they are going to do it in 20 days.

 

Wall? What Wall?

I guess you heard yesterday that Trump is asking Congress to pay for The Wall.

My friend Harold Cook has it figured out.

 

Simple mistake to make.

Okay, so then this morning, to prove he wasn’t doing an about-face on The Wall, Trump tweets that we will pay for The Wall and Mexico will reimburse us. That’s a plan, but I haven’t seen the IOU yet.

Where is the damn IOU?  Is it with the birth certificate?

 

Legal Brief: 50 Electors Seated Illegally

January 06, 2017 By: El Jefe Category: 2016 Election

In a blockbuster challenge, Americans Take Action have presented members of Congress with a 1,000 page legal brief that asserts that at least 50 Cheeto Jesus electors were illegally seated, and therefore voted illegally.  After reviewing all of the states’ electors these 50 were determined to be illegal because 1) they didn’t live in the district which they represented, and 2) they already held elective office in states that don’t allow electors to hold 2 offices.  For example, Florida’s constitution doesn’t allow electors to hold two offices, yet Pam Bondi, the state’s attorney general, also held the office of Elector, which is illegal.

Activists are trying to get Dems to mount a challenge today against congressional ratification of the vote, but I’m not holding my breath.  Dems don’t do anything courageous and won’t with its calcified leadership.

Friday Early Toon

Just to beat Juanita Jean out the door this Friday, I found one just now that seemed appropriate for the times from the New Yorker:
