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.
Food poisoning epidemics are up, but at least they are being caught and moitored. Won’t happen when meat and food inspectors are replaced with korporate friendly yes-bots- brought to you entirely by the party that wants you dead soon so the wealthy can have more tax breaks.
1Ooo, yuk. One of the worst things to happen. I hope you get well soon!
2I can think of a better way to lose weight if that is your goal.
3Oh, No! Nothing worse than wanting to die. Sleep it out, if you can.
4Lunch with Micr?
5My doctor told me (over the phone) to eat the BRAT diet: bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. I like all of those, but after several days I managed to scramble myself an egg, and it was the best egg anyone had ever eaten because it wasn’t bananas, rice, applesauce, or toast.
Hoping you have a rapid and uneventful recovery! Read a trashy novel and ignore the news for a while.
6Good news! Trump has just announce he has “total confidence” in Attorney General Sessions.
Sessions should ask former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn what “total confidence” means.
7Oh, ugh! Feel better soon! Forget the news; it will only make you feel worse.
8Food poisoning? Well, yes, Miss JJ that is an alternative to solving the problem of Trump but isn’t that a bit… Russian?
Wait, wut? Oh… um, feel better.
(Slipstream: Sessions just announced he will recuse himself from any investigations into Trump/Russia dealings because… just being nice guy I suppose. Nothing to see here!)
9Too many Peeps before Easter?
Soo sorry, my sympathies!
10Had it twice and death never looked so inviting.
This will not help your queasy stomach …
Thomas Wheeler, who was one of the lawyers drafting Texas’ discriminatory voter ID laws in 2011, is now the Head of the US Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division tasked with eliminating such discrimination from our Nation. Surprise – DOJ has decided to changes its litigation position and now says there was no discriminatory intent in 2011 when the law was passed.

Hope you made it to the bucket.
11Get well soon JJ. Hopefully it’s not so serious that you find yourself Waiting for Godot’s Obamacare Replacement. Starring Patrick Stewart and Stephen Colbert:

12Tupperware it and send to your favorite Repuke?
13If you have to read some politics, at least this is amusing:

And the Trump team has decided to skip the usual ethics training because I guess they’re already as ethical as they want to be:

15I eschew the “rice” part of the BRAT diet when my GI system revolts; prefer it as fried rice with chicken or shrimp which completely violates the principle of the diet. I ask for saltine crackers in addition to the BAT. And I like all those things, but after day and a half I also find that a simple scrambled egg is ambrosia! Have had recent experience, unfortunately.
Jewish penicillin.
16Rhea –
If the secret Republican replacement health care bill is hidden so well it can’t be found, I doubt it contains any health care coverage the insured will be able to find either.
“The best things in life are invisible.”
17TrumpDon’tCare Health Plan
It may just be a natural reaction to the Trump administration. That will require a strong purgative if so.
18May you have a quick recovery, JJ. I’ve been there myself and it’s not pretty.
19Get well, Juanita! The world needs you back up and running or as my dear husband says to me “running your mouth again”.
He always says he is kidding after I produce the rolling pin.

21JJ, get well soon. Flu vs Food Poisoning. With the flu you say you wish you were dead. Food poisoning, you actually wish you could die so it would stop. And this happens just as I was going to write you a note that it has really good to see your name on all these posts lately.
22I’m with everyone else JJ – get well soon. Not a good thing to have to get through. Will be good to see you back again.
23Rick, I think this about sums it up (from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy).
“Mr Prosser: But, Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months.
24Arthur: Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn’t exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them had you? I mean like actually telling anybody or anything.
Mr Prosser: But the plans were on display…
Arthur: On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.
Mr Prosser: That’s the display department.
Arthur: With a torch.
Mr Prosser: The lights had probably gone out.
Arthur: So had the stairs.
Mr Prosser: But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?
Arthur: Yes yes I did. It was on display at the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying beware of the leopard.
Been there, done that. Just about as worse: norovirus.
25Heaven keep us all form both!
JJ, are you SURE this isn’t just a visceral reaction to this administration and not just something you ate?
26Under the new health care plan whether you get treated for something like food poisoning will be decided by a panel from the Bureau of Insurance Claims aka a Death Panel.
Your voting record and other “activities” will be reviewed by cranky, old, white guys with American Flag lapel pins. Point being, get well quickly before this new law takes effect.
27@JAKvirginia
Russian food poisoning ALWAYS involves polonium.
@Jane und PKM
Working on a pithy response. Stand by!
28Micr: Polonium? Can you get that at Whole Foods? Asking for a friend………
29Been there, done that, and never want to go there again. My entire body aches for you, and I wish you a truly speedy recovery!
Still, your illness, the current disastrous increase in illegal drug use, overdose deaths, the fraudulent election of a snake oil salesman — coincidence? I have my doubts, but you be the judge.
Get well soon — we need you!
30Feel better.
31Look for lots of outbreaks with the coyotes guarding everything.
There is a nausea pandemic in America. I hope yours improves faster than America’s.
32@JAK
Not sure about Whole Foods, but tons of it are in the cooling system of one particular model of Russian nukalur submarine. I guess the Russkys store it there until politics or diplomacy requires its use.
33A wingnut congressweasel did overtly threaten the press yesterday, saying if they persist in going after Sessions they will themselves be investigated.
Might be a shot over the bow.
34God bless, JJ. I hope your recovery is rapid. Ginger ale was always a staple during those times, but I can’t touch the stuff otherwise due to situational association.
35Hope you’re doing better.
There’s a great scene in the movie The End where Burt Raynolds tries to commit suicide by swallowing handfuls of pills he finds around the house. When he inevitably has it all come back up, a bystander comments, “Looks like Walt Disney got sick”.
36Ugh. Hope you’re better.
