Their idea of a fun time?

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 am going to hang out in this hut while in Cleveland.

1Astrologically speaking, unless one’s Pluto is in the House of Donald Duck, one would be beyond Goofy to venture into Cleveland while the snacilbupeR are there.
2I’ve heard that the Hell’s Angels have offered to provide security for the convention. What could possibly go wrong? (Hmmm, I’ve got some old Stones song going through my head, what’s that about?)
3Uh…
“Now that the convention is days away, the realization is starting to sink in. “Shoot! What am I going to do that week?”
Hands up, don’t shoot? I love that they have cleared the court dockets to handle the people arrested. Republicans = drinking, prostitutes and toe tapping in restroom stalls!
4Couldn’t pay me enough money to go there.
5Who here said in an earlier post that they were going to Canada that week. What a smart idea. Lovely weather, lovely people, lovely country… what’s not to like?
6Unfortunately during that time, Cleveland will indeed become “The Mistake By the Lake”.
7Ordinarily, I do not in any way agree with that description, given The Cleveland Clinic where I had complicated open heart surgery and the Cleveland Symphony, which is renowned for its excellence, but given the influx of nutjobs for the RKlan convention it will be absolutely appropriate.
If the GOP had succeeded in their constant efforts to kill the EPA, Clevelanders could set the river on fire again for some entertainment.
An influx of pistol-packing, xenophobic, nasty-ass Trumpets surging into the city…. What sensible person wouldn’t cross the lake?
8Cleveland or Rio?
Which disastrous event will require participants enter environs filled with toxic fecal matter, bull or otherwise?
Which event management team would you like to see take on an even larger undertaking? (hint: note intentional use of the word “undertaking”)
9OOOO, Chloe Bear:
10I read your link and didn’t find a place for requesting that the Trump Hut make a stop in my neighborhood. So how do I get it to drop down to St. Petersburg after its stint in Cleveland is done, huh?
Skinny Popcorn mixed with Chicago popcorn, a gallon of water and I am ready for the toxic brew of the GOP convention…….and again, IN will pay anyone to take Pence.
11Hi Susan. Doubt this is one for juanitajean, but is mind boggling nonetheless. I am old enough to recall when the term “conservative” was a noble word, meaning responsible behavior and concern for your fellow man. I deeply lament that conservatives now largely wallow amongst the lowest portions of society. This article from Snopes simply overwhelms me. Thought you might be interested.

12I do get the impression that the citizens of Cleveland are trying to do everything to prevent the debacle in Chicago so many years ago during the V-War and the glory days of hippiedom. Well, good luck, Chuck!
13Actually, if I HAD to go to Cleveland, which I don’t, the James Garfield library/museum would be 1st on my to-do list.
I knew nothing about the guy until I watched the recent PBS doc on him. He was assassinated by a real nut case just two months into his administration. HOWEVER, he was a real Progressive–unlike anybody currently a Rethug.
Like Lincoln’s and Kennedy’s assassination, this was another “What Did We Lose?” question. It did not bode well in Garfield’s case, either.
14I admit that the first thing that crossed my mind was the comparison about Chicago, 1968. Scary.
15“Cleveland, city of lights, city of magic
Cleveland, city of lights, you’re calling me.
Cleveland, even now I can remember
As the Cuyahoga River goes smoking through my dreams.
“Burn on, big river, burn on.
Burn on, big river, burn on.
“Now the Lord can make you tumble
The Lord can make you turn
The Lord can make you overflow…
“But the Lord can’t make you burn.”
16– “Burn On” by Randy Newman
I think about Chicago ’68 too. I don’t want to see that. I want to see colossal chaotic mega stupidity INSIDE the arena.
17I would go, just nerdy enough, and a return visit to Rock and Roll Hall’of Fame. I don’t think it will be Chicago ’68; most people too apathetic.
