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.
I have a headache – Mittens has switched all of his policies again. Mostly talks about peace, freedom, etc. – just words to make the uninformed voter feel good. They don’t realize he switches from day to day.
1Yeah, he made my stomach hurt when he kept talking about standing up for the principles of peace. I don’t know if he’d know a principle of peace if it bit him on his smarmy a##.
2I got confused and thought it was an extemporaneous answer from the Miss America Pageant.
3Here’s the deal, 4 years ago, at a time of global & economic insecurity, Romney would have left Bin Laden alone and let Detroit go bankrupt. I’m done now, I am going to go take my bayonet, my horse and go home!
Was Tag there or did the Secret Service suggest that he might want to stay home?
4I liked today’s Non Sequitur cartoon which had a fact-checker sitting in between the candidates debating (no names) armed with a supply of cream pies. Wish I could have seen one hit that Romney smirk.
How do you prepare to debate an opponent whom you know from experience will say anything and repeat any line, no matter how often it’s been shown to be a lie?
5That reads badly– it was the fact-checker who had the cream pies ready, and had already thrown one at each side.
6I noticed two things about the “debate”:
7Ann had to steady her man as he walked off the stage, as if he was a bit wobbly!
Oldest son, Turd, wouldn’t shake Obama’s hand.
And CNN is saying No Clear Winner while their online polls show Obama whooping Rmoney good. So much for Liberal Media Bias. Two debates in a row with O clearly in the know, and they can’t say it. Disgusting. Switched from NBC to PBS post debate to check the ‘talk’. Almost threw my empty wine bottle at the tv. It was like aliens took over PBS. Good thing I didn’t put on Fox.
8What I am seeing on TV reinforces what I thought happened last night. Romney, who really does not have a foreign policy beyond insults, endorsed Obama’s foreign policy efforts in the Middle East. To me, that’s an endorsement of President Obama for another 4 years. Of course, there is always tomorrow and as soon as the sun comes up, he will most likely flip-flop again.
And as for bayonets, they are not the first line of defense anymore like they were in previous wars. Its drones, and rifles that can hit something a mile away. That sure does cut down on the old hand to hand combat that necessitated bayonets. Imagine! Beating bayonets into . . . paper weights!
9MSNBC, including Scarborough and Steele, called it rightly for POTUS.
There is mass delusion in this country, and it’s NOT on our side.
10Liked most of the debate. I was saddened that both endorsed the use of drones although Romney seemed to favor expanded use. I also noticed that while both candidates kept supporting Israel, there was only passing mention of Palestine and no discussion of Israel’s treatment of Palestinian people.
I would hope that after the election Obama takes whatever steps he can to put pressure on Israel to address the genocide going on in Palestine, AIPAC be damned.

12Sh-h-h! Don’t say AIPAC too loud. Mitt and Paul’s senior foreign policy advisor is Dan Senor. His sister is in charge of AIPAC in Israel.
His bro-in-law is editor of the Jerusalem Post.
They have eyes and ears everywhere.
Sh-h-h!
On Andrew Sullivan’s blog, I read a delightful (twitter?) message by Laura Hudson. Concerning the horses and bayonets: A unicorn is a horse with a bayonet on its forehead. I laughed out loud! With just a little amplification, we could say that Mr. Romney wants to ride in on a unicorn and make war against the world. Pres. Obama is brilliant.
13I’m glad someone else noticed that Romney was sweaty. By the end of the debate he looked like a menopausal woman with hot flashes. (And I should know. Been there, done that.)
