From my favorite veteran today —
So today I’m gonna get all the free Veterans Day stuff. I’m getting breakfast at IHOP, coffee at Starbucks, a hair cut at Sports Clips, and for dinner, buffet at the Indian casino in Iowa. I would get lunch too, but I don’t think I could eat that much.
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.
LIKE!!! Thank you, Bubba for your service and thank you to JJ for sharing you with us!!
1To Bubba and all the vets who may read this, Welcome home. Thank you for your service.
2THANK YOU to your veteran. I am grateful I get to have lunch with mine.
3We owe you all so much. A huge thank you to every one of you, those still with us and those who have gone ahead. Political action is needed to properly treat our military heroes.
4Should also trade in that CRT for a mil-spec flat panel while you’re at it.
5Thank you, good sir!
Thank you for your service!
6Thank you, Brian, and all vets. enjoy your day!
7Bubba must be stationed at Offutt! Hug him for serving!
8Thank you Bubba, Jr. and be safe on that visit to Iowa. She that must not be named could be dangerous.
9Would that be Tama,Ms JJ? If so your only quite aways from where I live. Don’t thank me or Wally for the snow.
10Is that Bubba or one of your nephews still on active duty?
11I did not know about the free coffee at Starbucks until I walked in with my retirement uniform of 30 years ago that still fits after going to my local elementary school for Veterans day and telling them a little about my 21 years in the Air Force.
Never yet got anything free for being a veteran. But then, I don’t fit into any uniforms, either. And people don’t expect women veterans my age.
12Sounds like the old fox at my house, out of army for 40 years but gearing up for breakfast at Denny’s, and a car wash … somewhere…
13Skip the Casino. I’ll cook. Interesting thing about the Meskwaki’s- it is not a reservation. They were removed to Kansas territory but by 1859 they had purchased some of their own land back from the white squatters. The community now holds about 8000 acres.
14Meskwakis had their own code talkers during WW2. I think the last one died sorta recently.
15I’ve never bothered to get anything free for being a veteran either. I might could squeeze into my greens, but the buttons wouldn’t be safe. I never thought I deserved anything for free, I was being paid while I was in. Now the benefits have been severely eroded, and I’m not sure I would be willing to serve for the benefit of the 1%, who think the rest of us should serve them for free.
As for the CRT, I doubt that belongs to him, and he has to use whatever Uncle Sam provides. When I served in Korea in the 70s, we still had communications equipment left over from the Korean War.
