Sometimes, even in the darkest days, everything comes together in the perfect storm of glorious, glitter filled, sequined magnificent Republican haughty.

Protesters who marched at the home of Wisconsin state senator Randy Hopper (R-Fond du Lac) were met with something of a surprise on Saturday. Mrs. Hopper appeared at the door and informed them that Sen. Hopper was no longer in residence at this address, but now lives in Madison, WI with his 25-year-old mistress.

However, it is perfectly understandable.  If you go to his website, you will find this statement:

A passion for public service led State Senator Randy Hopper to make his first bid for public office in the fall of 2008.

“He caught a bad case of that Newt-passion,” Juanita explains.

That’ll do it every time.

UPDATE: Yep, it’s true.  The floozy works for a Koch Brothers front organization.  The Koch Brothers:  They are screwing everybody but Republicans are enjoying it more!

Customer Rick commented yesterday about something I hadn’t thought about ….

It occurs to me that in recent times, the natural disasters and revolutions all take place in locations with 5 letters.

HAITI

EGYPT

LIBYA

JAPAN

and then of course there is

TEXAS

where we have

PERRY

who thinks that he is a revolution, but is actually a disaster.

cosmic, huh?

Probably cosmic, but comic has 5 letters, too.

I know what you’re thinking:  Where did Juanita get a genuine Geiger counter?  And, more importantly,where can I get one?

Juanita keeps this Geiger counter on the appointment desk of The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc, because you can never be too ready, too paranoid, or too afraid of what is in some woman’s purse.

I know that everybody is a little antsy what with all the horrors on the other side of the world, so if you feel the need to drink or eat an extra piece of fudge today, here’s a good excuse.

And in answer to your question, Juanita bought the Geiger counter on Ebay for $10 cash American money about 15 years ago because she thought it was very cool.  She was, after all, third grade civil defense monitor.

Juanita wonders if Sarah Palin has had a ironyectomy.

“She just doesn’t get irony,” Juanita says.  “But, most on the wacko right don’t.”

It appears that Sarah complained about the Democrats in Wisconsin —

“Yeah, they absolutely should be fired. They should be recalled,” Palin told Pirro, about the missing senators. “They’ve retreated. It’s not like they’re reloading. They’ve retreated. They’re not doing their job.”

Duh.

Lemme think, who else quit their job and left ……?

It was a governor.  I’m almost sure of that.

.

Juanita knows wherewith whatsay she’s talking about.

Remember a week ago when she told you about Southwest Securities and the little scam with municipal securities that they’ve been running?

Well, the big boys just now figured it out.

Southwest Securities will halt the practice of paying former Texas municipal securities officials to obtain underwritings from Texas cities, FINRA announced in an agreement reached with the securities firm.

Brad Bennett, FINRA executive vice president, said Southwest Securities’ practice “threatened to compromise the integrity of the municipal securities market.”

In a statement, James Ross, Southwest Securities chief executive officer, said the “settlement is in the best interest of our firm, our shareholders and our clients.”

“Well, Honey, Juanita grins, “I don’t know if it’s in the best interest of your firm, clients, and shareholders being as how you had to pay a half million dollar fine, but it sure is in the best interests of America.”

“Damn, Darlin’, Texas is building crooks with connections to congressmen faster than we can lasso them.”

I am told that in Dallas they call this The Nightmare on Elm Street because the location of the firm is 1201 Elm Street.

The rally in Austin today to fight Governor Rick Perry and the Republican dominated Lege over Texas education was a tremendous success.  The crowd was at least 11,000 brave souls ready to stand up for Texas education.

As promised, I have pictures.

The first picture I have is for our friend and customer Bud Malone.  Bud’s going through a pretty rough patch right now and he needs all your good thoughts.  He wanted to come to the rally but he couldn’t, so This One’s For You, Bud.

And this was my personal sign that I brought.

One of my personal favorites —

And you can’t beat this one with a turbo beater set to ultrabeatarama on National Beating Day.

Comparisons were drawn

There was some cussin’

And some simple truths —

A little Texas Bragging turned upside down —

Some stabs at the clown —

Some adorable children —-

And enjoying the water after all that work.

And it’s Texas so we have some fine-lookin’ fillies with great shirt —

And some new friends.  That’s Karen hanging out with the wrong crowd.

A sweet momma telling the truth —

Some folks with a lot to say —

But the one you had to line-up to take a picture of?  This one.
