Okay, Here’s The Deal
The entire World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc. is closing down today to go to Austin to hear Attorney General Eric Holder speak at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library. The topic of his speech is voting rights.
Now, I don’t have a crystal ball and even Juanita, with all her various acclaimed skills, can’t tell the future, but we are betting that Attorney General Holder isn’t coming all the way to Austin to tell the Texas Legislature that the Justice Department thinks Voter ID is the dandiest thing since Bull Connor released the dogs.
I mean, that would be kinda like taking a leak on Lyndon’s grave right there at his library.
We are betting that he chose Austin for this speech to honor the Voting Rights Acts of 1965.
I have WordPress on my iPhone so I can update along the way as necessary. I will also update tonight. I will be tweeting the event live (if they’ll let me) under my twit name – crabbait. I’ll use #holder as the hashtag. I really don’t understand this tweeting thing so you’ll have to be patient with me. Anytime I do it right, just remind yourself that even blind squirrels can sometimes find acorns.
The event starts at 6:00 at the LBJ Library (or “liberry,” as LBJ used to say). If you’re in Austin and believe in civil rights, you might want to stop by.
