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.
Did the Cuban Turtle Bean T. cruz get his love of a Red Congress from his Castroite father?
1I read that 36.3% of registered voters actually cast ballots. It makes one think twice about serving in the military and risking life and limb for a freedom that only a third of the people care about.
We love our freedom like we love our waist lines–only when they don’t require exercise.
2I voted. But I can’t fault Dems who didn’t vote because they didn’t really support the watered down, republican-lite policies their Democratic candidates represented. Raising the $117K cap on social security tax and really funding Social Security is a radical idea. Expanding Medicare and Medicaid is a radical idea. Maybe someday we can actually get to vote on these ideas instead of choosing between the New Democratic “Cut these programs a little” or the old fashioned Republican “End these programs or cut them a lot”
3I hold my nose every time I’m forced to vote for a Democrat who talks about fixing programs and the fix does not involve incredibly wealthy people who pay a lower tax percentage than I do, paying more taxes. The rich figured out long that putting legislators and accountants on the payroll was cheaper and more egotistically satisfying than paying taxes
@Wally +1
In particular,”the fix does not involve incredibly wealthy people who pay a lower tax percentage than I do, paying more taxes. The rich figured out long that putting legislators and accountants on the payroll was cheaper and more egotistically satisfying than paying taxes.”

5Please cut Cuban Ted some slack. I hear in kindergarten the first crayon he picked up and colored with was, you guessed it, red.
Micr: and there Daffy Cruz, Jr. has been frozen in time, kindergarten. Explains his fixation with coloring books.

7putting him on his path to the coloring book fame he enjoys today.
The comments on his coloring book on Amazon somehow led me to the comments for a plastic banana slicer. I am now convinced that some of the best satiric writing today is being done by unheralded, unknown authors writing hilarious reviews of products on Amazon. The fact that Amazon owns these things and hasn’t published collections is amazing.

Micr, anyone could really waste a whole Sunday afternoon reading the Funniest Amazon Product Reviews. My favorite is the Badonkadonk Land Cruiser. Too bad we couldn’t buy one of those for our grandson when he was about twelve.
9If this gets out, this Funniest Amazon Product Reviews link, the interweb world wide thingy is doomed. Doomed I say,
10I think an homage to Rambo 2 is in order.
Scene: Liberal Democratic candidate working day job, accosted by a DCCC Republican-Lite “New Dem”:
New Dem: “We’d like you to run for office in the next election! How about it?”
Liberal: “Are you going to let us win it this time?”
11Republicans and Conservatives and Teabaggers, oh my!
12Follow the Red Brick Road!
We’re off to see the Wonderful Wizard of Cruz!
We read those reviews when we received a banana slicer. Excellent writing!
And yes to RepubAnon: I am deleting everything from any of those people– they make me want to scream. I might be madder at the dems than I am at the repigs– at least they don’t mess around with “bipartisan” crap every time their mouths open…
13Let’s get real here, please. That graphic is right on. This election was ours to lose. In Texas, Republican voter turn out was about 10% less than in 2010. For Democrats it was about 6%. And only about 33% of registered voters voted! Where were the Democrats? In Florida, Charlie Crist lost by about 66,000 votes but 2 MILLION Florida Democrats couldn’t be bothered to vote. The stats across the country reflect the same sorry trend.
Republicans can put up the worst candidates (re: Blake “Ducky Boy Pajamas” Farenthold) and they easily get elected. If Democrats are looking for an ideologically perfect liberal, well, good luck with that. Just look at Obama. Yeah, we can pat ourselves on the back for getting him elected and re-elected but what else? Burdening him with a Republican House and now a Republican Congress? And then complain when he makes compromises? Democrats did not give that man some back! Democrats did not support him! Democrats are to blame, no one else!
So Democrats, suck it! I’m so angry I could spit! When I consider all of the work that Susan has done over the last few years and continues to do, all I can say is Democrats don’t deserve good government. Enjoy the next two years, kids! You made it happen!
And BTW: You have my blessing to kick the butt of any Dem you come across who didn’t vote! They earned it!
14Whitey wingnut crayons only come in one red color and that is embarass “murrica red. Wingnuts are the new red menace.
15Wally. Best laughs of the day from your Amazon link. Thank you. 🙂
16I can remember when Red (as in Russia/USSR) was a bad word. The Republicans, especially, hated the Commies. That’s when we got “under God” in the pledge of alligiance, to fight the godless Commies. I don’t think it belongs there but that’s another rant. For the record, I am a separation-of-church-and-state Baptist, Christian, believe we are all under God, but I don’t think it helps anyone to inflict it on those who believe otherwise.
Now I guess we have to say better red than dead for the next two (or whatever) years.
