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 especially like the subtlety in #4. The authoritarian hammer is wielded by a male hand while the gavel clearly has a woman’s (Pelosi’s, presumably) hand around it, complete with red thumbnail.
1Most excellent selection for the Friday toons this week, Ms. JJ!
Toon #1 sets the stage for our election 2022. Pollsters have gone nuts here in NV. Seriously. A ‘close’ race between Senator Catherine Cortez-Masto and perennial failure nepotism nod off putz Adam Laxalt.
2All good timely toons as usual!
3OT, but the Musk rat is whining about advertisers fleeing his new toy, twitter. Oh wah, wah, wah, boo hoo. However, it’s hard to know if he’s just making excuses for layoffs. Of course, he’s blaming “activists” for pressuring advertisers- that’s his term for Democrats.
Steve from Beaverton @4, nothing would make Jane and I happier than Elon joining Mark Zuckerberg for a joint cold flounder flop into Lake Tahoe. Preferably from a kite several hundred feet above the lake. If Lady Karma has a heart, TFG would be their guest for the drop.
4Totally hot and smashing – – every single one of them!
5True Lady Karma for Musk would be if all that expertise that he obviously doesn’t value goes over to Bluesky and kicks his butt right off the innerwebtubes.
6Steve from –Beaver–ton @3, Hey, take it easy on real muskrats [which are a lot like beavers, but not closely related]. F the Elon muskrat.

I’ll bet that none of y’all have ever even thought of eating muskrats. Eat these? WTF?? :

My earliest years were in a French-Canadian/Am area and muskrat was a tasty menu item.
The ancient French-Am parochial school that I went to had huge muskrat suppers [fundraising] twice a year, yummy [some families ate muskrat often, since they were plentiful, I hunted them along with rabbit and birds].
Preparations would start days before with the hunting/trapping, preparing, cooking and serving. The school and surrounding area reeked of the unique muskrat smell for days, something you never forget…

7“…the name became altered to musk-beaver;[4] later it became “muskrat” due to its resemblance to rats.[5][6][7]… about four times the weight of the brown rat (Rattus norvegicus), though an adult muskrat is only slightly longer. It is almost certainly[clarification needed] the largest and heaviest member of the diverse family Cricetidae, which includes all voles, lemmings, and most mice native to the Americas, and hamsters in Eurasia. The muskrat is much smaller than a beaver (Castor canadensis), with which they often share habitat.[5][6]… “
Sandridge- No offense to muskrats- RAT was the word I was emphasizing. He just happens to be a Musk. And a rat.
