One of Juanita’s customers brought in this picture today.

You can click it to make it bigger.   Yeah, it’s a BP station.

Y’all know Juanita’s nemesis, E V Blissard, an old coot who lives north of Houston and feels the need to use bandwidth to lie, lie, lie.

Here’s the latest the rightwing braindead are sending around.  This came from EV this morning.

The Crotch Salute Returns

IT FIGURES
At the Ft. Hood Memorial Service TODAY…

I’m sorry folks, but is this the turkey that was elected President of our country?  You know, the United States of America ?  I do believe that saluting the flag goes with that, and also to honor the servicemen who died, or is he above that?  He sure as hell knows how to bow to our enemies.  Shower us all with flowery words and dazzle us with B.S. , but actions speak louder.  May it only last 4 years and may our country survive it.

E V and his kin are idiots.

“First off, it’s pretty damn obvious that’s not Fort Hood in the background there,” Juanita suggests.  “And second off, a simple internet search shows that this was at the capital and they were playing Hail to the Chief.  The President does not salute himself.  Unless he’s George Bush and then he salutes Dick Cheney.”

“Now, I don’t expect you to take my word for it, ‘cuz I’m just one of them socialist nazi fascists apologist for Muslims and people not born in Hawaii.  So, here’s a movie.”

“Yep.  Old farts sitting at their computer are made fools of again,” Juanita giggles.  “Somebody, for gosh sake anybody, remove this man from the computer before his brain melts.”

You’ve seen him on Countdown with Keith Olberman, now read the words of my much admired friend from Houston, El Jefe Bob – Bob Cavnar – about the BP “accident.”

Bob is a blogger and an oil company executive.

As I watch BP struggle with this monster, saying every day that “this has never been done before,” I get more and more furious at BP, my industry, and myself.  It’s time to stop.  Putting aside the crippling political issues of having no comprehensive energy policy and our country’s dangerous dependence on foreign oil, we need to stop thinking about our wallets and start cleaning up our own house.  It’s time for the industry to get on the right side of reform and improvements, not taking our usual negative positions, weilding our army of lobbyists, having to be dragged by the hair to do the right thing.

Or, perhaps we really have reached the level of our incompetence; I, for one, am fed up.

I grew up in the oil patch, the daughter of an oilman.  Bob tells a great story about those days.  Treat yourself and go read it this weekend.

To registered your name with Just Won’t Give It Up, Inc., be John Boehner and say this —

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) is demanding that Paul McCartney apologize for expressing his gratitude that America again has a president “who knows what a library is,” Human Events’ Connie Hair reports.

“Like millions of other Americans, I have always had a good impression of Paul McCartney and thought of him as a classy guy, but I was surprised and disappointed by the lack of grace and respect he displayed at the White House,” Boehner said in a statement. “I hope he’ll apologize to the American people for his conduct which demeaned him, the White House and President Obama.”

“Yes, John, and I demand that you cry me a river,” Juanita hoots.

“I’m selling this beauty salon and moving to South Carolina, Honey,” Juanita announced when I walked in this morning.

“They have taken the crown from Texas for crazzzy politicians,” she mumbles and starts throwing things in a box.  “I’ll end up with nothing to talk about if this keeps up.  They struck crazzzy paydirt in South Carolina.  They are mining the motherlode.”

“The latest in South Carolina?  The Republican gubernatorial candidate, who appears to have sparked with every political consultant  in the state, just got called a name,” Juanita reports.  “Now you’d think maybe somebody would call her a floozy or John Edwards in a Tube Top.  But, no, a South Carolina Republican State Senator called her the R word.”

Lexington County State Senator Jake Knotts is in a bit of hot water following his controversial remarks on Nikki Haley and President Barack Obama.

Knotts appeared on a Columbia internet talk show and used a racial slur to describe both Haley and Obama.

The program is called “Pub Politics” and on it Knotts said “We already got one raghead in the White House, We don’t need a raghead in the Governor’s Mansion.”

“Wait a minute!  Wait a minute!  Wait a damn minute!  Things like that are only supposed to happen in Texas,” Juanita explains.

“I’ll tell you one darn thing,” she says, “if they start any gun play, I’m outta here and headed for Charleston, baby.  That would make them the official king of fun politics.”
