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 reckon King Lear said it best about Trump: In this way lies madness. Yeah, I know Lear is fiction. Trump is fictional. And there the twain meet.
1maggie: I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve stumbled upon alot of truth in fiction. Just sayin’.
Great toons, JJ.
2The only possible riposte to that last cartoon is
3“What you mean _we_, white man?”
joel hanes: You got it! The winning faces of this Olympics must be giving the supremacists and haters gold, silver and bronze plated fits.
4Loved the ‘toon where the elephant keeps inching away from Drumpf. The “I will not lie to you”, slogan is wearing very thin, even to Repugs who make a living lying.
5The first two are chilling — because there’s so much truth to them.
As to the one of the elephant inching away — too little and FAR too late. Especially because Trump’s first target wasn’t the Hillary or Bernie. That would be the nation of Mexico. THAT was when that elephant should have left the frame.
6Who thought it was necessary to label the cartoon with Roger Ailes. Did they actually think no one would recognize him?
7I can’t help but wonder what, exactly PB thinks what “winning” is…
Does he consider what winning as a nation looks like?
8Much truth in toons. Loved the Olympics with all of those beautiful faces. Sadly the poor, fat old white men are all having strokes. But, hey, that is one way to thin out the bigot population.
9*** if only *** the snacilbupeR irony could contribute in some way to iron enriched blood. We could all contribute daily to the blood banks and probably do a once a week two pint draw.
BENGHAZI!!! That’s a war cry that has kept me from reading anything written by or ghost written for the current crop of mercenaries hiding under the euphemism ‘contractors.’
But those clowns wrote/contributed to the spectacular “13 Hours in Benghazi.” In my defense, after the birth of our second son, Jack, there I was in the hospital as my wife and son slept. So, when the book cart came around, I picked up the novella from the selections. Not to sound TOO defensive, but it was a maternity ward, so I read the book given the selections.
Irony I expected, along with jocked up heroism and other tedious minutia. Imagine my surprise to discover the unexpected comedic refrain in their story. One character kept popping up, the compound gardener. And, a compound feature, a pool. Make the connection.
As the heroes of the story made repeated valiant and heroic efforts lasting 9-10 seconds to enter the building that was on fire at great danger to their lives to rescue Ambassador Chris Stevens, no one thought to connect the gardener, the pool and lay down some water to suppress the flames. SMDH like Scooby Doo.
10I noticed the vast variety of American Olympians too, and saw how unusual that is. You can always recognize an Asian team, Swedish, Russian or most African teams. But American athletes? We can be any skin color and ethnicity. It’s really one of the best things about the US Olympics team.
Even though China has a billion more people, with all our diversity (& $ for training) we have 40+ more medals than the 2nd place Chinese.
Go USA! (I love the Olympics.)
