Guys, there’s supposed to be some important stuff coming out of The Supremes today.
It’s my damn birthday and I have lunch planned and a pedicure, and shopping, and … stuff. I am celebrating my 27th annual 40th birthday party. So far, so good.
So, keep an eye on this and comment at will.
I’ll come home this afternoon and check in to see what the 4 major fools on the court did.
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.
Happy Birthday!
1Congratulations on your anniversary of your birthday! And a special thanks to your momma, who did all the work that day. All you had to do was to show up! 😉
2Justice Thomas seems to be the only one who is actively evil.
No matter how simple the question, he seems to take it four steps farther than everyone else and then insult his ideological friends on the Court, to boot.
Justice Alito might be becoming a close second.
I find myself occasionally agreeing with Justice Scalia.
Chief Justice Roberts seems bent on confusing everyone.
3It’s your Birthday again? I guess that explains why I woke up this morning craving a margarita. And I don’t even drink.
Have a Happy Day!
4The court didn’t rule on any of those cases, but it did rule on the EPA’s rules on greenhouse gases in a combined case that includes one of the many suits our Texas AG has brought against the EPA. The NY Times says EPA mostly won: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/24/us/justices-with-limits-let-epa-curb-power-plant-gases.html
I’ve been looking at the ruling and am less sure, if only because Scalia wrote the main opinion. Look at it for yourselves: http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/13pdf/12-1146_4g18.pdf I suggest jumping to Breyer’s dissent/concurrence to get a feel for the whole thing.
Also, I’m waiting to hear what the AG says. If he whines, the EPA won. If he crows, it could be either way.
Based on my years of supreme court watching, I assume the contraception ruling will come down on Thursday, the last day of the term.
5Oh, and happy birthday. Forget all this political stuff and go have fun today.
6Happy birthday to you
7Squashed tomatoes and stew
Bread and butter in the gutterrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (be sure to use growly voice)
Happy birthday to youOOOOOOOO! (with octave-jump yodel)
Happy Birthday
8Off to a good start huh! Sparklers and loud music! Yippee skippy and go buy something cute.
re: EPA, thanks so much, Nancy Jane Moore. I will read those links. I like the way you guage rulings by Abbott’s response.
9Happy happy. Take the rest of the day off. We’ll mind the store.
I think I heard someone say it must be time for you to go find some new “bling” for your special day. And since it IS your birthday, really load up this time!
10Happy Birthday, my Queen!
11Happy onya!
12And many happy returns of the day.
13Enjoy your day!
14Happy Birthday!
15Happy birthday! This calls for sparkly new flip flops!!
16Oh my, Happy Birthday, JJ … if you go and bling yourself out as everyone suggests, the Space Station will be able to pick you out of the crowd!
Love & Hugs from So. Colorado!!
17Happy Birthday – as I am almost old enough to be your mama, I am going to suggest your creative calculations (anniversary) to my kids, who are stressing over actual figures about now.
18I hope you enjoy many more, thus enabling all of us to enjoy ours.
And yet another Happy Birthday, JJ (SB). Live it up!
19Happy birthday, Ms JJ. Please take care of your health so that you can continue to rear position one lower extremity while recording the emitted ID of said recipient.

Congratulations on another circuit of the sun.
21Have a wonderful day and a year full of health, joy and Democrats elected to offices across the land.
22Happy birthday! You are six days ahead of me in celebrating that “anniversary.”
23Go live it up, and sleep in tomorrow! We’ll be here.
24Happy Birthday ……
I read on the internet…. that Iraq is a mess. I know I should care….. I’ m just not sure why.
Name any part of the world….. SOSD.
Have a wonderfully Blessed Day.
Save the world tomorrow….. it will still be here… I think.
Thanks for all that you do…….enjoy!
dO.
25Happy birthday, and I hope the Supremes give you some nice presents!
26Happy Birthday.
27Happy birthday from someone who’s old and grey to someone who’s not!
28Happy Birthday!
29Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!
30Happy birthday, you young whippersnapper! I hope you blow out all “forty” candles and all your wishes come true!
31Enjoy your birth day anniversary celebration. May it be full of friends, fun, and delicious libations! Get some bling to make your eyes sparkle and just have a great time. We’ll be here when you recover tomorrow 🙂
32Happy Birthday JJ
What else can I say?
You’re our lovely fearless leader
And I’m just a humble reader.
All the best to you and please leave some crumbs.
33Annual celebrations of your 40th.I may adopt that tradition. Happy natal anniversary.
34It’s my wife’s birthday too. Have a great day.
35Happy HAPPY Birthday!! Hope this is the Bluest of years for you!
36My friend Bob in Brooklyn suggested that Gov. Huh needed to hire a Texan-to-English translator for the handful of people outside the Lone Star who still pay attention to him.
37I nominated you because I didn’t have the heart to tell him that whatever that goop is dribbling out of Not-Gay Rick’s mouth was NOT Texan. Beauty shop stories were shared as examples of your “mad skillz” (as the kids say) and once he’s had time to sample your wares, I expect his opinion of Texans will rise higher than a Fair Park mini-skirt.
Enjoy your birthday. You deserve 10 times the fun you’ve given all of us!
Happy Birthday Miz Juanita Jean!!!! May all your Blue wishes come true.
38Happy Birthday!
39(I’m not fashionably late in my birthday greeting, just 4 time zones to the west)
What do you mean your “damn” birthday? I’m very glad you’re alive and kickin’ butt! I hope you have a healthy and happy 27 more (at least)! Cheers!!
40Happy birthday, you wonderful lady!
My dad supposedly started counting backwards at 39 and forward again at 25. He turned 39 (the first time) in the 70s when anyone over 30 was considered with suspicion and those older were outright ancient. I don’t think he bothers to keep count at all any more. He’s pretty much like me and doesn’t really care.
Lots of sparkles and wonderful presents to you, madam!
41Buon natale!
42Happy birthday, same as my sister’s 89th birthday today!
43Happy, happy day! I hope you’re having a wonderful time.
44Let’s give Juanita Jean and Texas the best birthday present ever, albeit belated. Rally to have Governor Wendy Davis and Lt Gov Leticia Van de Putte in November, am sure the lovely birthday lady will forgive us for being late with the present. For all their hard work, she and Bubba certainly deserve a Blue Texas. Enjoy a well deserved Bankston celebration tonight!
45Late to the party, as usual, but I hope your annual celebration of the anniversary of your 40th birthday was outstandingly happy. And I hope you have reasons to celebrate for the entire rest of the year.
46Happy dad-gummed birthday to you! I’m hard pressed to think of someone who deserves it more than you do.
47Happy birthday! I hope the day was special and the next year is even better.
48Happy (39 + some inconsequential little piddly number)th birthday.
49What a lovely day for a birthday anniversary — so near to the longest day in the year, the longest visit by the sun. Hope your was the sunniest ever. I like your anniversary idea, though for me my anniversaries would equal your years. Keep on swinging, JJ — we need & love you!
