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.
“We drove the mother out of the home?” Is that the royal, editorial or nutjob “we.” More women work because it is now necessary to have two salaries coming in to maintain the same life style that one blue-collar salary used to cover. The number one reason for that is Reaganomics. Money has not just shifted to the super-rich, it has shifted away from manufacturing to the financial industry, much of which is phony.
1Not to mention those mothers who are the sole support of their children, because the men fail to provide any support, financial or otherwise. Why are republicans so clueless?
2More women work now, because they have to survive.
I ran across this a couple of days ago, and the Ellen Degeneres video is worth watching.
Sad to say, I have some of those women in my family who, for whatever reason, will vote (R) in this election.
I think I have found the absolute perfect Christmas gift for those ladies, and it’s made by Bic.

Most of us, obviously, are to frail, and fragile, to use anything other than a “Ladies pen”.
How much more of this crap are we expected to tolerate?
Women work out of necessity. When they start paying women to stay home…… let’s talk about that.
3These twerps have no idea what their own mothers thought, much less their wives, sisters, or daughters. The choice of staying home to raise children is not a choice available to most young mothers anymore.
I am pro-choice not only about reproductive matters but also work choices, religious choices, food choices, ad infinitum.
4Eff them all. I am so sick of this. And please, all women who support Romney, stay clear of me for a while.
5Thanks for the link, Miemaw. That was hilarious.
6Any time some nutjob brings up the phrase “not politically correct” it means they are going to say something involving ignorance or bigotry. That’s why we hear the phrase from Republicans so much. Perhaps a better choice would be, “Although it shows my complete ignorance, lack of morals and and lack of civilized behavior I believe…..”
7Oh, there goes Roscoe again! Please don’t let yourself waste you valuable time over what he wheezes. This surely is a case of a guy who actually was there when God invented ice and should have retired eons ago. His challanger is doing nicey, thank you.
8Bless his little heart.
This is an 86 year old man who shouldn’t be making public policy anywhere.
He’s lives in another era altogether. Hopefully the good citizens of Maryland will retire him.
Meantime, he just needs to shut up.
9@Iris. You’re welcome.
I’ve been wondering what to get these women in my family who don’t have the good sense to vote for women, and vote for Obama……. and thanks to Bic I’ve found the perfect gift….. Pink and Purple pens for ladies. (who cannot think for themselves,) and cannot manage to use anything else to make out the grocery lists.
10Dr. Benjamin Carver’s mother wouldn’t let her 2 boys watch TV while she worked 3 jobs. The boys had to read 2 books/week & write a report on each one, but they were adults before they learned their mother couldn’t read! They grew up in tough neighborhoods in Detroit, yet Dr. Carver became a world-class neurosurgeon. He & his brother attribute their success to one tough mama!! Sound familiar?
11Ooops… big typo — please correct: Dr. Benjamin Carson
12@Miemaw. Sounds perfect.
13Maybe Apple will come out with purple & pink keyboards, made to fit our laydee hands, so us laydees don’t feel so manly and nonplussed at communicating on the internet.
Please accept my apologies, on behalf of my state, for Rep. Bartlett. It does appear that his career in Congress is coming to an end at long last.
Maryland does have some good ones, and we are mighty proud of them.
BTW, early voted yesterday after waiting in a two-plus-hour line. Not so bad because I had several interesting “line buddies.” And, this is Maryland, after all. It was pretty much a big blue rally.
14Thanks Miemaw for the roflmfaos today. Sure needed it with today’s batch of lies from the Robme/Lyin Team of Ridiculosity.
I love the reviews by Amazon posters. I did not realize until last week how much could be had writing reviews~
15Fran,
16You can hold them down and I can club them “like a baby seal” or we can reverse roles. I will gladly lend you my cane.
Won’t they get electrocuted if they try to mate with a TV? Maybe they shuld try it…..
17Yeah, Bartlett is probably going down, but I have got to vote against the grotesque gerrymandering that was partly designed to sneak his constituents out from under him. Not that I like him, but the new map of Congressional districts in Maryland is possibly even more embarrassing than the Texas one. We’re supposed to be the good folk, not the cheaters. That map needs doing over.
18I don’t see how anybody’s state could be more embarrassing than Texas’, much as I am attached to it. Don’t get me started.
19Rhea, agreed that the gerrymandering is reprehensible, and I would never suggest stooping to the “end justifies the means” rigmarole, even, or perhaps especially, when it serves my purpose. You indirectly make the point that it is a common tactic of the other side, one that we decry loudly when it is employed against us. I agree entirely that we should not be the cheaters.
Still, I can’t say I would miss Rep. Bartlett.
It’s my understanding that defeat of Question 5, while it would invalidate the new map, effectively changes little in that defeat would require the same legislature to draw a new map — same legislature, essentially the same map, as I see it. The question unsuprisingly (to me, at least) has received little attention and even less explication — overshadowed, I think, by the high-profile issues on the ballot.
Personally, I’ve trundled between the 4th and the 8th districts so often it’s dizzying. Currently, I’m in the 4th, where my community obviously belongs.
Marge, I have promised myself not to dump on other states until (and unless) Maryland gets it right.
