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.
Nope. Don’t see the point. For us edumacators, this is just a mid-year holiday. My new year starts with my birthday, anyway.
1Most of them have mastered the “walking upright without dragging your knuckles in the dirt” thing. And some of them can be quite nice to people who look, think, and believe exactly as they do. Other than that, I’m drawing a blank here.
2I resolve to kill Republicans with kindness, while not taking too much pleasure as the effort flies over their heads.
3I resolve to show Republicans the same level of compassion and decency that they show to the poor and the middle class.
I also resolve to maintain the same level of civility during political discussions as that displayed by the inventors of phrases such as “libtard”, “dumbocrat”, “feminazi…
4I resolve to avoid letting my blood pressure spike as a result of Republican lies, stupidity and chicanery. To do this I will take up meditation, medication and maybe a vacation.
5RepubAnon, you must have received something spectacular in the manner of earplugs for Christmas, as you unleash their manic howls. The simple act of holding up a mirror to a rethug sends them into a tizzy of false equivalency, “both sides do it,” and crescendo whining. Good job!
6It’s the same resolution every year: I resolve not to make any New Year’s resolutions.
7My New Years Resolution is to create more times where champagne is the appropriate response.
8@ maryelle, I think it should be a Med vacation too! Just don’t take the ferry 🙁
9I resolve to treat Republicans with kindness and compassion every day of the week that doesn’t end in “day.”
10I’ll show the Rs the same things they show poor people, especially those of color.
11I resolve to show the Republican’ts the same level of respect that they’ve showed me (as a former moderate Republican)… which is basically none.
12I resolve to be more loving. Except to Tea Party lunatics. And except to our Texas heads of state. And especially except to Cheney, Wolfowitz, et ad nauseam. And except to anyone who annoys me. There goes my resolution. Going, going, gone!
I like your resolution Sandy where the appropriate response is champagne.
13I resolve to hook up my new dashboard cam from Santa, so I can film and possibly prevent cops beating and killing people.
Other than that, nothing new…life goes on happily as usual.
14Maryelle … it will probably take all 3 … meditation, medication and a vacation!
I quit making resolutions a long time ago simply because, like everyone else, I can’t stick to them. Dang!! However, for now I really have to work on dropping some weight and quick cause my yearly physical is on the 22nd and my doctor will once again tell me I’m obese!! Doggone it, she refuses to acknowledge the fact that I am merely FLUFFY and not fat!!
Welcome to the New Year …
15I resolve to be more positive and less sarcastic.
Like I won’t screw that up in the first five minutes.
16I resolve to check-in with with JJ and the Ladies of the WMD(BS) every day … as I always do.
17I’m gonna plead to jeebus to smite all wingnuts with the jawbone of an ass-Gohmert’s,Steve King’s or Michele One L Bachmann’s jawbones will work. Hell,we’ll incorporate and use all three jawbones at once.
18Rhea, I hate your resolution. You are perfect the way you are.
Am overjoyed to know you will always be yourself, if I have the patience to wait 5 minutes.
19Well, I just got back from the excellent documentary about Snowden, Citizenfour. I resolve to see The Oath and Flag Wars. I urge all of you who have HBO to see Citizenfour as soon as it becomes available (which will probably be right after the Oscars).
As for personal resolutions, I resolve to make enough money to keep the roof over my head and the lights/internet on, pay my debts, and get ahead some. It might not be easy, but somehow, I’ll prevail.
I wish everyone at the beauty salon blessings of love, health, peace, laughter, abundance, and joy. Oh, and books. Lots of books.
20Yes, the CitizenFour movie was absolutely incredible. Very, very worth seeing!
21i hate to tell you, my 54 year old nephew had the gall to tell me that I needed to meet Rush Limbaugh because he is SUCH a NICE man. He was serious. So was I when I said I’m not meeting Rush. Period. Never. if you want never to hear Rush, stay away from KLBJ where nephew hopes to get a job. Sigh. I just said it was sad, I wouldn’t be able to listen to him.
22I resolve to not spend as much time daydreaming about punching Republicans in the face.
23I would so hate to be Marge Wood’s nephew, knowing that you have to like Limpbow in order to land a job.
24KLBJ. Betcha I know whose radio station that used to be. That’s how that politician rose in power, by marrying into money and broadcasting.
25I resolve to use the term “extremist” more often to describe Republicans. In some cases I hope to turn it into a proper noun, as in the first name of the junior senator from Texas, Extremist Ted Cruz.
26My resolution for the New Year: to keep vertical and breathing. Gotta do at least that much so’s I can be around to volunteer on the HRC presidential campaign. It should actually be as much fun, equal to the quantity of hard work involved. Love it when RWNJ’s screech that it will never happen, not just an HRC presidency, but any woman as POTUS, and I tell them that I can foresee in the future of this country not only a woman president in the time of our grandchildrens majority, but that she will also be black, Jewish, and have a Spanish surname!
27I resolve not to click on any link at HuffPo with the headlines, “____ Opens Up About ____.”
28Rhea … don’t change anything about you!! I love your comments!!
29PKM and Marcia, I am honestly touched that you like my remarks, and I’ll try to keep it up.
Unlike Rush.
Whoops, there I go again. Didn’t even last the five minutes.
“You should meet Rush Limbaugh because he is such a nice man.”
“Does he mind projectile vomiting?”
Seriously, this is the jackwagon who held up a photo of Chelsea Clinton as “the White House dog,” and held up a photo of Robert Reich showing only the top of his head to mock Reich’s lack of height due to a childhood bone disorder. This is emphatically NOT a nice man, whatever Marge Woods’ nephew thinks.
30Hey, I was just reporting, not affirming what nephew said. I’ll keep those comments in mind. I told him I would not not not visit with Rush, not that Nephew has the power to make it happen. He’s just looking for a job and Rush happens to be one of the folks on the station at KLBJ, that’s all. I said too bad, I won’t be able to listen to that station. Or watch it. Or whatever it is they do. I don’t think he knows yet that boycotting is an art form with me and my friends. And Rhea, I think you need your own blog or news column or something. Matter of fact this whole group could liven up things if made more public. On the other hand, there’s something nice about hanging out in the back yard and muttering or yelling without worrying about ratings or ads or anything.
31Oh Rhea, if only I had mastered the art of projectile vomiting.
32It would be such a useful strategy when protesting the politicrap that conservatives spew.
Such a wonderful crew here! Marge, I love your comment “…boycotting is an art form…”. My husband just sighs when I say we/I can purchase from Home Depot or Starbucks and others because they are on my “boycott list”. Even if I can’t remember why the organization is on my bad list, I know they are there for a very good reason and simply will not support them in any way, shape, or form.
Boycotting truly is an art form! Thanks for the comment 🙂
Happy 2015 to everyone at the Beauty Salon. This is such a nice place to sit and visit.
33maryelle-what you need is a juvenile vulture to carry around in wingnut company. They are notorious for blowing chunks at intruders and I hear it is a very unpleasant experience.
34e platypus, an agitated vulture will blow chunks from both ends. If you aim one end away from you so you don’t get hit again, you get an encore from the other end. Speaking from experience. It’s sort of like RWNJ talk radio or Fox News. In both cases, the stench reflects what they’ve downed in the first place.
Well, I’ve blown that resolution to flinderjigs.
35Rhea, welcome home! You are an original “as is” gem.
Marge Wood, life is like a picnic. With every picnic comes the unwanted fly, while with family comes the Mishpachah. As with the flies, seems every family is assigned at least one annoying gnat. Gotta love them, but it doesn’t mean we must agree with them.
36e platypus onion, we employ several “Ranchies.” Our dogs are worth their weight in gold. The dudes and dudettes know people and have been known to cure more than one pair of boots with their urine vote.
Cliven can keep his flaky fair weather ammosexual ‘friends.’ Our guys and gals work for love and food; their loyalty is without question, and they don’t shoot to kill.
