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.
the Ben Sargent cartoon says it all. The voting restrictions that hit women the hardest are simply a new version of the Salem witch trials which were actually based more on who gets the dead woman’s land etc. than religion.
1This is another one of those “news stories”….. that if it wasn’t so hysterical…. it would be pathetic.
Leave it to Wayne Slater, at the Dallas Morning News, to parse every word Davis said.
What I don’t understand is the interest being shown by the “national media”. This is an election for Governor …… of Texas. She’s not running for President.
Simply…. no male candidate would ever get this kind of scrutiny.
Double standard?
2Sure hoping that computer widget of Glen Maxey’s does the trick! Tired of these good ol’ boys. For years now.
3The Repugs are desperately trying to make something out of nothing with regard to Wendy’s story. Their attack mode is laughable and should put Wendy over the top with support from women.
4Carry voter registration cards. Ask everyone you meet if they’re registered to vote. I got two yesterday at the doctor’s office. And remember if the TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP passes, it won’t matter who wins the elections. It will all be decided by the TPP super duper rich guys. Look it up. Switchboard for Congress: 202 225 3121 or 202 224 3121.
5Check out UNCLE SUGAR NEEDS TO MEET AUNT FLO. Wahoo.
6@Miemaw: The national media are interested because it’s an interesting race, and they’ve got a 24-hour news cycle to fill up. I’d rather know about Wendy than about the arrest of Justin Bieber, or that Versailles turned down Kim K’s request to use their building for her wedding.
There’s also the fact that much of Wendy’s support is from out of state, including what little I could afford.
7Marge Wood–I second that!
8So delighted to have Wendy recognized nationally — it can only help her. Normally I wouldn’t send contributions to candidates in another state, but Wendy and Letitia will help Turn Texas Blue, and that will be a good thing for the whole country. Like @Zyxomma, I’m proud to contribute what I can. Go Wendy and Letitia!
9THANK YOU RUBY MAY! One of the characters in my novel I hope will be coming out soon is Ruby. Maybe I should add a “May” to it. What do you think? She’s twelve years old and strong minded. And Zyxomma, the rich aunt in my story has the nickname of Aunt Z. Y’all stay warm now, hear?
