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.
Some of the best toons everrrrrr!!!!
Rain, wind, flooding here. These toons gave me a much needed grin!
1Maggie, where ARE you? Hope you’re above the flooding.
2Republican insanity on parade. The cartoons express it elegantly.
3They are funny–but the truth is, I’m just not laughing that much anymore. Benghazi Beenghaazi!
4The news cycles are so dang crazy…
The drought in the west, Ca is burning and it’s only May!, while the East is rain and floods, the sea is rising and it’s raising all the boats–not to mention disrupting food production (with only 19% of normal water Ca the breadbasket of the world is in deep odd-doo) and the wet will rot food in my back yard…
With things like this to ponder, and I am food secure, unlike so many—I just don’t feel like laughing.
Everyone, stay safe. That usually doesn’t mean loading a gun.
5I agree with all. Be good neighbors and all that.
6I remember the summer more than 40 years ago when it rained nonstop most of the summer. You could smell the gardens rotting. I had to sleep sitting up to breathe.
7I see a collection of cartoons every day and I wasn’t sure where Sargent is based, but when I saw that one about the GOP Lt-Gov debate sounding like cats in a woodchipper, I knew it had to be Texas.
Can’t say I’m crazy about our Gov choices in MD. I’ll vote for Heather Mizeur because she’s a lefty, but one of the boy Dems will win it.
8Happy birthday to Wendy Davis!! That is not a joke.
9Ben Sargent and his wife live in Austin. They are both liberal Democrats and out front about it. We’re real proud that they live here.
10Marge Wood, I live just to one side of red white and blue Fort Belvoir, one of the largest military reservations in the country. It has so many people working on base and even living there that it could qualify as a city in itself and maybe even a county with its own Congressional district. This AM the flooding was so bad at one of the intersections near the base that all traffic in both directions was closed down and redirected. As of noontime, that flooding was still there! We may have yet more of the same tonight and early tomorrow AM. Not making any plans for tomorrow. Life is getting in the way.
11Maggie, I hope you are safe and have plenty of food and toilet paper and batteries and meds. Be thinking of you.
12For those of you who read DAILY KOS and the item about California protest, note they don’t know that Texas and Alaska are bigger states than California. Are we gonna let ’em get away with that? Oh well, anyone who cares enough to march 480 miles is allowed a mistake or two.
Maggie, best of luck and I hope your house isn’t flooded. We’re near the NE corner of the beltway and didn’t get the worst of it.
Marge Wood, maybe they meant CA is biggest in population?
13Rhea and Maggie, thinking of you.
14Rhea, you probably right: maybe CA does have biggest population. I’m not real good on numbers. I bet anyone who sits in traffic jams in California, or New York for that matter, would believe they were in the biggest state.
Love this site. Glad I found it!!
