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.
And the morans STILL can’t spell.
1Hysterical! Gotta love the maroons!
2I think they’re serious. They’ve already developed their own national language. I can only hope my cable provider broadcasts their version of “Whele of Fortnue.”
3The GOTP has been pandering to the short bus crowd for thirty years. You knew there’d come a time when they’d want to drive. Hello, cliff…good bye bus.
4If they did secede, I would love to see what happens the first time people like that bald guy in blue doesn’t receive his social security check and can no longer use medicare.
5Not to mention that little border problem we have. I think NASA and defense contracting companies would skedaddle – so we might have a job problem. No federal funds coming in for roads or education. Our Medical Center Center would be greatly impacted.
6As I noted the last time this came around (right before Rick Perry decided he wasn’t gonna be for secession if he was gonna run for Prez) – can we have our roads and infrastructure back? Also, about that space program stuff…
*sigh*
This ain’t no eastern soviet block, guys.
7Those who sign petitions to secede have, in fact said they no longer wish to be citizen in this land. They can not be deported for they, for the most part, have no state to return to (or willing to take them!). Those who have signed a petition to secede no longer desire a voice in our body politic. It would be a kindness to fullfill that desire.
8Wonder how well Texas would get along without Fort Hood, Fort Bliss, the Naval Air Station in Fort Worth, Lockheed, Raytheon, oh I don’t know, I could go on indefinitely. What rock did these creeps crawl out from under?
9I like the guy in the blue wife beater, second from the right.
10He’s lookin’ at the sign like “i SPELLED it right!”
El Paso has a petition to secede from Texas

11There’s a possibility that it’s all selective photography and selective posting, but I swear us lefties have a MUCH better record of spelling our signs correctly and using good grammar to boot.
And we’ve got nearly all the good folk songs, too. And wittier bumper stickers.
I wish they would self-deport. I’m sick to death of the lot of them.
12There’s a website that posts political or news photos with funny captions: http://roflrazzi.cheezburger.com/news
You couldn’t come up with a caption that’s funnier than this photo. As I think Molly Ivins said, referring to the old news ticker machines, “Some days it’s just rip and read.”
13I don’t know . . . . I’m thinking the pitiful exceeds the stupid.
14The spelling is “moron” not “moran”. I worked with a republican named Moran and he actually behaved like a moron, but the two words are not spelled the same.
15WC – run a search on “Get a brain, Morans.”. It’s also in the urban dictionary.
16Can a rip shorting heathen pray for the Rapture to come get these folks?
17As an aging hippie I remember well the “Love it or leave it” crowd. This is the same bunch or their children.
JJ, what city/town is that? Looks like Anytown, Redstate USA
Btw… just imagine FoxNews, already in Georgia, would get stripped of federal broadcast spectrum in all other states. What would Texas do without all those military “pork” industries?
This secession petition is much like the “wilderness of mirrors” the Christian Science Monitor called the Petraeus/Allen affairs (pun intended). CSM gives a lovely description of it.
18Rhea: Thanks for the fun link! Scroll down those funny photos to this fun video of Obama & cute couple telling him they met 5 yrs ago working on his 08 campaign & got engaged 3 mo.
Young people are the reason I really don’t worry about the direction our country is taking. Our country’s future is in good hands folks! These young men & women are great!
19The “Get a Brain! Morans” is my favorite TP sign. I have a print of the guy holding the sign posted on my frig. It gives me a laugh every time I look at it.
The Texas petition was the first one that collected enough signatures because so many people living in blue states signed it. Since I have my own room in my friend’s condo in Los Angeles, I’m set because my house in San Antonio won’t be worth anything because so many people would leave. I hope the USA federal government collects Texas’ portion of the national debt inasmuch as a big hunk of it belongs to GWB.
20June, you mean to say that me, a blue blooded californian guy, can sign a petition for texas to secede?
Wow, only in America!
21Some influential data:
The population of Texas is
12% Black
38% Latino/Hispanic
5% Other
44% White/non-Hispanic
Now how many people think that the 55% (minorities) of our population will surrender their US citizenship and consent to be governed by a minority of white skinned red necks?
That’s the delusion under which these people toil.
22FYI the photo was taken at the intersection of 5th and Congress in Austin, TX.
23SIGH! at least it weren’t Brine-College Station, fer once!
24Homeschooled?
25Hooked on Phonics…..
26Wonder if they’ll manage to raise enough to purchase the federal land in Texas and there are a lot of states that are drooling right now to get those military bases!
27Kinda looks like downtown Nashville – 3rd and Deaderick. We have our fair share of secessionist morannic imbeciles here as well-easy to recognize – they are the ones with confederate flags on their 20 year old trucks.
28Siiggghh. Ralph is correct. I checked Google Maps street view, and that was indeed taken at the corner of 5th and Congress in my beloved Austin. Guess even the People’s Republic of Travis — as many a rabid right-winger has called Austin — has a few rabid right wingers. Although they could be illegals!
29Something like half of the adult citizens of Texas do not have a high school diploma, and with that lovely $26Billion deficit our legislature had to deal with last session, they made severe cuts to education…. which doesn’t even take into account all those new textbooks that have been re-written. The Dumb as a Doorknob folks are coming out of the woodwork. Wonder if it has occurred to any of these rocket scientists that they will need their own gen-u-INE Texas passports to cross the borders, and their own currency….they bitch and moan about the TSA and rude officers frisking Grandma to see if she is packing heat… won’t be a whole lot of flights in or out of Tx for a while, without FAA oversight, air traffic controllers, etc. Critical thinking past the end of their noses isn’t a strong suit of this crew of chest beaters. Once again… Texas has set off a national snicker-fest.
30Dear Texas:
31Ya gotta Stop writing yer own textbooks!!
Dear Lord, If you’re gonna leave them here, can ya please take me??
32Miz Patti, I think your post was unnecessarily insulting to doorknobs.
33I have to admit…I’m tempted to create the account and sign some of the petitions like: To let Austin secede from TX and remain part of the US or the one that any seceding states must pay their part of the national debt before seceding.
34Kinda gives a new meaning to the old saw, “save your confederate money, boys, the south will rise again !” I have to admit that this does offer a comic relief in the midst of all the hooha in Congress right now. Of course, these idiots do mean it, but they need a history lesson or two or three which they have managed to drop from Texas’ textbooks. Being ignorant is a God-given right here in Texas.
35Is it merely anecdotal that, in the middle ages, those suffering leprosy were required to warn others of their presence by ringing bells? Regardless the analogy comes to mind. Only we do not require right wing imbeciles to announce themselves; rather, we grant them freedom of expression and they enthusiastically respond: Ding-dong I’m a dumb-ass! Ring-a-ling-ling, boy am I ever a dumb-ass!
Uhh, Momma did I cross the line? Sorry.
36You know, a rattlesnake isn’ t the brightest problem-solving critter on the planet. But if it bites you, you won’t be happy. Yes, we can crow over how stupid the Tea Party and secessionists are. But fact is, there are too many of them and they own too much firepower to get too cocky and careless while laughing at them. It’s not like they haven’t already managed a lot of damage to the body politic, stupid, selfish, mean gits that they are. (Also…”short bus” jokes not really funny to people whose kids rode the short bus. Lotta those kids a lot nicer people than the Tea Party bunch.)
What I think the secessionists need is a reminder of how the Civil War went down, and how they could save themselves trouble by emigrating somewhere else. I still think Somalia. No effective government, no taxes, damn few laws and those not enforced. I’d be willing to pay the one-way plane ticket for one secessionist to go there. Would recoup by appropriating his/her real estate left behind. That’s just entrepreneurial, right? And I’m generous–he/she can take his/her guns along, to the limit allowed on the aircraft. (You know some of these people would rather have guns and ammo than clean clothes.)
The deal I would offer secessionists is this: shut up and act like Americans, or leave the country. You can take what you can carry.
37Oh yeah. I’m secdee and I know it…
