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.
MJ has caught up to ol’ Willie, he has COPD or something now. Pretty sure he’s a Democrat too, he had a recent song that skewered trump, the ratbastard trumpanzees were going to boycott him.
Neat visuals on the old James Gardner’s teevee series “The Rockford Files”. At his buddy Det. Becker’s police station, the ‘Narcotics Squad’ was always shown with their door designated “Room 420”. Gardner had quite a sense of humor, liked the weed, and was a solid Democrat too.

Edit: U.S. crude futures plunge to lowest on record on scant storage, weak demand
NEW YORK (Reuters) – U.S. crude futures plunged more than 85% on Monday to the lowest price on record as storage space for U.S. crude was filling up, discouraging buyers even as weak economic data from Germany and Japan cast doubt on when fuel consumption will recover.
Physical demand for crude has dried up, creating a global supply glut as billions of people stay home to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The May U.S. WTI contract fell $15.91, or 87.1%, to $2.36 a barrel at 1:25 p.m (1725 GMT) after touching an all-time low of $2.26. Brent LCOc1 was down $1.76, or 6.3%, to $26.32 a barrel.The June WTI contract CLc2 is trading more actively at a much higher level of $22.25 a barrel. The spread between May and June was more than $19, the widest in history for the two nearest monthly contracts.
Investors bailed out of the May contract ahead of expiry later on Monday because of lack of demand for the actual oil. When a futures contract expires, traders must decide whether to take delivery of the oil or roll their positions into another futures contract for a later month.
Usually this process is relatively uncomplicated, but this time, there are very few counter parties that will buy from investors and take delivery of the oil. Storage is filling quickly at Cushing in Oklahoma, which is where the crude is delivered. [EIA/S]
“There is no bid for May WTI as there is no buyer and we have yet to see a significant reduction is supply at Cushing to offset it,” said Scott Shelton, energy specialist at United ICAP.
Refiners are processing much less crude than normal, so hundreds of millions of barrels have gushed into storage facilities worldwide. Traders have hired vessels just to anchor them and fill them with the excess oil. A record 160 million barrels is sitting in tankers around the world. U.S. Crude stockpiles at Cushing rose 9% in the week to April 17, totaling around 61 million barrels, market analysts said, citing a Monday report from Genscape. “The storage is too full for speculators to buy this contract and the refiners are running at low levels because we haven’t lifted stay-at-home orders in most states,” said Phil Flynn, an analyst at Price Futures Group in Chicago.
“There’s not a lot of hope that things are going to change in 24 hours.”
Prices have been pressured for weeks with the coronavirus outbreak hammering demand while Saudi Arabia and Russia fought a price war and pumped more. The two sides agreed more than a week ago to cut supply by 9.7 million bpd, but that will not quickly reduce the global glut.
Brent oil prices have collapsed around 60% since the start of the year, while U.S. crude futures have fallen around 95%, to levels well below break-even costs necessary for many shale drillers. This has led to drilling halts and drastic spending cuts.

3And when this is over let us remember that it was the front line workers, nurses, grocery workers, restaurant cooks and delivery people who kept society functioning not overpaid paper shufflers like bankers, mutual fund managers and CEO’s.
So next time the issue of mimimium wage or living wages comes up ask whether those opposed don’t think that these workers are worth more or do they stay with the idiot’s perspective that they are mimium wage earners because that is all what they contribute to society is worth.
Good ol’ Willie, reclaiming this day from Timothy McVeigh, Klebold and Harris (Columbine) and other devotees of A.H. And let’s celebrate again on the 29th when Willie will turn 87.
4It’s my grandson’s birthday too, which is a sure guarantee that I will never forget it.
5Here in Olympia, WA, the old Olympia Brewery steam whistle was blown at 4:20 this afternoon.
6The old Olympia brewery is in Tumwater.
7Surprised the whistle wasn’t stripped out by the last (Miller?) beer company dedicaited to the destruction of the brewery they took everything else that they could strip out including water rights.
The SOBOTUS is always right, ain’t he.
Whatta great deal, so much beautiful beautiful winning!

The big Oil Deal with OPEC Plus is done. This will save hundreds of thousands of energy jobs in the United States. I would like to thank and congratulate President Putin of Russia and King Salman of Saudi Arabia. I just spoke to them from the Oval Office. Great deal for all!”
.
Eight days later, 20 Apr, energy prices undergo an historic collapse, thousands of energy workers laid off [many permanently], tens of thousands to follow soon.
Every TX oil blend, most other US, CA ones are in negative pricing, [minus]-$39-54/bbl. So much effing winning.
