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.
Climate change deniers are exactly the folks who when marooned on a spit size island in a rising flood prayed for a rescue and when someone showed up with a boat rejected the offer cuz they figured if the Almighty were behind the flood, the Almighty would personally lift them off that island to high dry land. And they couldn’t figure out what went wrong when the water got over their heads!
1Wingnuts and their perceived scandals remind me of a set in his ways hired man on the farm. The farmer’s favorite horse died and the hired man was given the job of burying it. Two days later the hired man still hadn’t returned so the farmer found him in the back 40 digging his 20th grave for the horse. The farmer asked why he didn’t just bury the horse in one of the first 19 graves to which the hand replied none were big enough.
2Great cartoons! Even though we’ve always had tornadoes and wild floods, would you say that the ones now are bigger ‘n better (or worse)? Remember the Galveston flood in 1900 that pretty much destroyed the island? I’m just playing devil’s advocate here ‘cuz that’s the sort of arguments you’ll get. “Natural cycles.” “It’s not in the Bible so I’m not paying any attention.” Check out book by Dr. Katherine Hayhoe, evangelical professor at Tech. Her mission is to go around and try to convince her fellow evangelicals that climate change is, indeed, a real problem. She’s good.

3I see that the Keystone Progress msg didn’t get wiped off when I tried to. Great cartoon there too. I’d like to hear some good suggestions from folks on here about how to deal with the realities of climate change. For starters, how to win the election against Abbott and Dewhurst/whats his face. Abbott doesn’t believe in climate change. Ho hum, what else is new. Aargh.
4I don’t understand why some Christians believe that prayer is social networking.
I was always taught that it was private conversation.
5Marge Wood, educating those in denial calls for drastic measures. When people are deliberately stupid, it’s not an easy fix. We could water board them, until we make them say the words, but changing the behavior could prove near impossible. Sorry not to be more optimistic, but until we stick a few pitch forks into the Kochroaches, history repeats itself.
6I wish a judge in one of these “We have to have public prayer” suits would pull out Matthew 6:5-6 and show these folks that public prayer is exactly what Jesus said NOT to do.
As for the climate-change deniers, they are not going to be convinced by anything because their denial is like religious belief: they have no evidence and yet they believe. Nothing will change their minds because the other side is Science, for which they read “Satan”. (I guess the scientists who gave them antibiotics, microwave ovens, and the internet were Satan too.)
7And the other other side is the money they get from Big Oil.
8Rhea — Ditto and amen. Sadly I don’t think most of these folks pay any attention to what Jesus said. (“Jesus Who?”)
