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.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a wonderful New Year!
1Feliz Navidad, y’all! I am about to turn on my air conditioner here in No. VA just to get the air moving in this house so I can breathe. We are over 70 at the moment. And its raining! We have had holiday weather like this before and by New Year’s Eve there was a foot and a half of snow on the ground! Y’all enjoy the heck out of the holidays! Peace out!
2One of this year’s gifts to me was fully discovering the folks here at JJs. Nice place to hang out — and every time I come here they handle ten more of my own hairs, which means the whole top of the head gets done every ten visits or so. And as soon as you get in those heavy duty garden shears you can even work on my beard — I hope Santa isn’t an ad for that part of your service.

Anyway, nice, friendly, and smart — and the running Spades game in the back room is also fun. I hope the Virtual Delivery Service — tall women drivers only, isn’t that why they call it Amazons — gets your bottles of Johannisberger, of Calvados, and of champagne to the party on time and…
‘
ENJOY!
LOL … OMG, Bubba you make an exquisite Santa!! LOL
Merry Christmas and looking forward to an exciting New Year at the Salon with all of the Salonites who come to find the latest News/Dirt supplied by JJ and Friends!!
God Bless each and every one of you folks!! Love & Hugs to everyone!!
4Oh, and one of the lines of the year — which probably goes in the Sylvia Allen thread — needs passing on. “You can’t spell crazy without AZ-R.” (Courtesy Horace Boothroyd III, one of the regular commenters at ZANDAR VS THE STUPID.)
5Happiest of holidays to Juanita, Bubba, and all the Salon staff & patrons! Though I’m a lurker here, I peek into the Salon windows every day to see what’s going on. And I never walk away disappointed.
6Happy Holidays to all at the WMDBS!
Is it too early for eggnog, as we anticipate the arrival of the whole mishpucha? In previous years we celebrated Christmas as a day to gather as a family. Since the arrival of our charming KJ, even the most staunch members of our Tribe arrive bearing gifts and good cheer! We’re loving the good cheer, while the serious lad KJ contemplates the box or toy question. He seems to be leaning toward the boxes on this issue. That’s our boy!
This year our New Year’s wish is for all the children of the world to find 2016 to be the year of hope and dreams come true.
7Happy Christmas, Y’all! Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday.
Don’t forget to save all your fruitcakes to throw at Donald Trump after New Years!
8A very Merry and a Happy to all you marvelous people…..you brighten my day like nothing else…….I love to snicker and it simply is not done in polite company……Love to y’all and let us keep up the good fight! And a special hug to Susan for giving the correct malcontents a place to vent……..Have a good one.
9Oh, Bubba – you are just gorgeous!
My wish for everyone is a lovely holiday, in whatever way you celebrate… or even if you don’t celebrate, or celebrate something else (it’s all good) and for peace on Earth.
And can we please get to work on this climate-thingie? I’ve just cranked up the AC on Christmas Eve.
I’ll need it tomorrow too…
Peace.
10Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Festivus, Merry Winter Soltice to all the patrons and staff of TWMDBS.
Now, I’ve gotta turn off the computer and clean house. I’m having guests for dinner tonight. Panic mode is just now setting in.
11As Kinky Friedman once said: “May the God of your choice bless and keep you this holiday season.”
Thanks to all for helping me keep what’s left of my sanity.
12It’s been great sharing the year with all of you. One of my favorite parts of this non-blog is that everybody is nice and rarely naughty…but always in a nice way. You’re awesome!
Happy Holidays to everyone.
13Smashing through the truth
In an open primary race
Dealing fast and loose
Racist in your face
Dog whistles abound
Fear and hatred bloom
We’ll lift our glass and drink a round
To the party of gloom and doom.
Oh, jingo bells, jingo bells jingo all the way
14Oh, what fun it is to watch Republican’s dooms day
No thanks! Mistletoe is a deadly poison and if let loose in the wild will kill trees. I’ll stick to some good booze and cheery music….Not xmas music….here in NC it is 75deg and raining….Thank Saturn it aint snow!!!!!!
15Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. Since I found this place and the peeps it’s been one helluva ride! Thanks to JJ for her intrepid persistence in the goal to turn Texas at least purple and somewhat sane. Stay safe.
16A Happy Holiday season to all the patrons of TWMDBS, indeed.
@PKM
17Bud, try your best to remember this 2015 season, especially around 2028 or so when he isn’t any longer so cute and has both a mind of his own and a mouth. And learn to sympathize with guppies when they eat their fry!
Merry Christmas to all and Happy Holidays to Sid, the Texas politician. What a wonderful group this is. I sit on the sidelines here in New Mexico, but I spent many years in Houston, so I can relate.

19Happy Christmas – or the holiday of your choice! All my little chicks are home this year, and one is joining me singing in the choir tonight, so Mama’s happy here, even though it’s too dang warm for December! (Where’s my snow? And thunder this morning? Really?)
Love being with everyone here at the WMDBS, and look forward to seeing you all in the New Year, with a special Shout Out to Ralph Wiggam for his most excellent new Christmas song!
20Santa might just be hiding the lumps Mrs Santa caused to be put there for late night carousing with Rudolf. He don’t look like a gent with a headache or hangover.
Already had Christmas. Uncle Sam gave me $16 a month more on Social Security for next month after telling me no cola increase. Paris here I come.
21Merry Christmas to all y’all at the salon and all the fine folks I’ve met here! Though I’ve lived in California for almost 40 years, I’m living proof you cannot take the “southern” nor the “activist” out of the girl, especially as she nears retirement age. There’s not a wittier nor more contrarian group I know, except for kin, and I’m proud to be a part of you. You never fail to start my day with a chuckle and with the Rethugs in charge of Congress chuckles and guffaws are desperately needed. My wish for all is a peaceful, joyous Christmas, as well as love, good health and prosperity in the New Year and another Democrat President-elect at the end of it. Let’s make it happen!
The only thing that would make the season brighter would be video of JJ bitch-slapping Paul Ryan, and I’d be happy to contribute to the gofundme campaign to git it done!
22Thanks, Ralph Wiggam, for your version of Republican Jingo Bells. If that doesn’t give us a reason to have another egg nog, I don’t know what does.
23I, too, would like to wish J.J., Bubba, Mama and the whole group of reprobates who frequent this establishment a grand and merry celebration with family or without.
Here in Pittsburgh, the screens are in and the windows flung open. No snow, but plenty of stink bugs (including those in the R-Klan).
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and/or Joyous Holiday of Your Choice to one and all.
We celebrated the Winter Solstice here on Monday, and haven’t seen the sun since. Nothing but clouds and fog and rain—and 70+degrees where there ought to be at least a hint of snow. No wonder the polar bears are in trouble!
Have fun and stay safe, everybody.
24Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from another lurker who reads here daily. Looking forward to the comments for the upcoming year. May 2016 see the election of another Democratic President!
25Merry Christmas, every one! I’m huddling up with a bottle of Red Breast, a fridge full of bacon, and a Dr Who and Stormwood marathon. The only thing that could crack me out would be Ann Coulter on a leash. Maybe Cheney in an orange jumpsuit, but Coulter is slightly more likely.
Be well, be gracious, be content, fellow humans!
26Torchwood… too much Red Breast.
27Lord, that photo of Bubba gave me a Baltimore “Hon” flashback, though not many Hons have that much beard.
Here in Maryland it’s 70° (while overcast) and about 92% humidity. I wish I’d worn a lighter T-shirt. Judging by the smell, someone has a fireplace going. A cookout grill would be a better choice. I want to shove some beach sand down Inhofe’s throat to school him on his snowball stunt.
Happy post-solstice and other holidays to everyone! I treasure all y’all and thank JJ for giving us a place to vent our disgust and snark at the latest horrors, and celebrate the victories. May there be many victories to come!

Thanks for plowing the seasonal ground.
My little bride gave me an early present of Pusser’s rum and is executing a Doctor Who extravaganza lasting right up until we depart for services at 5p.
29Merry, merry Christmas to all of you, and a most health, happy, and prosperous New Year!
30I wish you all a safe, peaceful & happy holidays !
31Bless each and every one of you folks!! Love and hugs to everyone!!
Thanks to epo for bringing me to this wonderful place of sartorial splendor and political smartass.
Peace out!
32Tater Totz and lyntilla, welcome and Holiday Cheer to both of you! Now that you are out of the “shadows,” make a New Year resolution to join in the commenting, please. You’ll find us a friendly and harmless bunch. We only bite and snarl at snacilbupeR.
Micr, we certainly plan to enjoy this “baby taming” stage. Also looking forward to all the new stages. With a little support, KJ is already taking some mighty swings with his T-Ball bat. Figure baseball will ease my boy through the teen years with his old Pa.
33Merry, Merry to all. I look forward to rejoining the conversation when the wine biz slows back down to normal on Jan 2. Be careful out there.
34Merry Christmas to everyone!
35A child, a child to to an unwed Mother is born. Good luck in life,Sailor. With a ma like Pistol and a mama grizzly like Sarah,you need all the luck you can get.
Dang that Palin girl can’t do nothing right.
36Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night! You guys are the best! You’re all outta sight!
37Hahahahaha Happy Holidays
38Hoisting a glass of holiday cheer to each and every one of you! … or maybe two … or three …
You know, that’s adding up to a lot go glasses … umm …
39I know you’re all just dyin’ to know: dinner came off just fine. I forgot the parsley for the stew and the nutmeg for the egg nog, but everything else was just fine. It’s so warm here, that we easily could have eaten outside. In fact, some of us retreated often to the patio for cooler air and some smokes. Crazy, crazy weather here in the mid-Atlantic.
40To Miz JJ, Bubba, Momma, and all you beautiful people here at the WMDBS: May you find peace, hope, love, joy however you observe this holiday season. Thanks for making this a sane and safe place to land.
41Time to confess,BarbinDC Santa took the nutmeg to stop a slow leak in his radiator. Nutmeg is good for that.
42You guys always make my day!
43With days and days of bottom numbing car travel, not much internet access, I have missed you all.
Merry Christmas and wishing all of you and yours a Blessed New Year!
