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.
So many good things happened in the last few days. Too bad the Scotus screwed up on the voting rights act.
1Maybe Good will come out of the Scotus screw-up. It may cause the non-involved to get involved in keeping their rights. I think the people who worked for the original voting rights bill will take it to the streets again. Even it they have to use a cane or a wheel chair to lead the march.
2What an amazing day! I am exhausted and thrilled at (Texans and the fall of DOMA). Angry at the gutting of VRA. Happy that Markey won MA. . . .
But there are long battles ahead. I live in a state with anti-gay amendments placed in our constitution during Ws reign. The fight marches on.
3Bout sums it up

4I only get a rainbow outline on my mobile, but that’s still awesome.
5@ Dave–I love it!
6What I want to know is if the plaintiff gets her money back from the government. If something is unconstitutional it’s unconstitutional. This would have to be retroactive, wouldn’t it?
7Trying to pick my way around the organic fertilizer in the punchbowl, I recall being a bit irked while in college in a foreign state that Texas was subject to the VRA, but that cracker ridden place (where some people in my town still thought that which side of the road that had divided the USA and CSA they lived on was a big, significant deal) was not. Nor were those bastions of openness, Arkansas and Tennessee.
So, the formula for application is flawed? Cool. Fix it, and do it right this time.
