January 20, 2021 By: El Jefe Category: 2020 Election, Biden
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.
I’m breathing deeply and going back to work on the stuff I haven’t been able to work on since Jan 6.
And there’s a nap in my future, too.
And that chocolate babka in the freezer to warm up. And maybe later bacon-y cheesy popcorn. (No I am not eating healthy today. I’m eating celebratorially and indulgently. It’s cold, damp, and I still have the “wet day horse chores” to do.)
1What a wonderful celebration!
2I couldn’t watch the inauguration live because of monitoring my grandsons online schooling, but we will be celebrating this evening. The family is getting together to uncork the champagne that we purchased in 2015 when we had hoped HRC would beat what proved to be the worst president in history.
3El Jefe, you’re so right, the work is just beginning to clean up the mess left by the Trumpf nightmare. Very hard work indeed.
And we’re also celebrating 3 democrats sworn into the senate today, ending Mitch’s reign of terror. Thanks to Georgia!!!
Breathing normally again….hallelujah! (And it was a nice speech…really felt good to listen to.)
4My blood pressure dropped 10 points already.
5Ding-dong, the witch is dead!
6Which old witch? The wicked witch
Ding-dong, the wicked witch is dead
Wake up, you sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed
Wake up, the wicked witch is dead!
She’s gone where the goblins go below, below, below, yo ho
Let’s open up and sing, and ring the bells out
Ding-dong! the merry-o sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the wicked witch is deadd!
Of course, there are still the flying monkeys to deal with. We saw them on January 6 . . .
Anybody got a bucket of water?
7Happy 2021!
8A lot of good comments today about the transition and the future. I loved what Greta Thunberg had to say, as always she’s playing the long game:

9Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this sun of {York, dele} Scranton.
I poured myself a generous share of my Litchfield Bourbon, which I save for only special occasions.
Immediately following the inauguration I got an e-mail confirming that I will be getting my Covid vaccine shot tomorrow morning. The world is looking better and better.
10The relief is wonderful, but I’m scared that the nightmare can come back when we sleep.
11Trumps last 15 minutes in the WH!

12The poem by new National Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman was the absolute best. SO beautiful!
13Since I tested positive for Covid yesterday, I am stuck at home for the next two weeks. Thankfully, it allowed me to watch the inauguration and President Biden’s (how good it feels to type that) speech. It hit on all levels and I look forward to where the nation will go in the next four years.
14Phoenix Justice…Eight years. Don’t you mean eight years?
15Did anyone notice the weather for Biden’s inauguration? For T****’s, it rained. For Biden’s, it started with snow only for the sun to break thru and shine during his swearing in. I hope that it is a portent of where we are and where we are going. To me, it is like we are coming from a storm and are still feeling that storm. May that sunshine indicate that better times are in our future.
16Phoenix Justice — sorry you were confirmed with COVID. Hope yours will be a mild, tolerable course of symptoms.
17Monday I went to Ace Hardware to buy 2 American Flags for two house we own so that I could fly them proudly now that Biden is in charge!
18@Phoenix Justice: I’m so sorry for your diagnosis. It’s good you were diagnosed so you could protect others…
19Phoenix Justice @ 14, may your symptoms be mild and your recovery be 100%! Our hearts are with you as you recover.
Jane & Karl
