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.
Another instant classic.
Good Grief.
1I think it would make a cute T shirt, with a drawing of a guy with a ? over his head underneath the text.
2Is Libety also some sexual slang (of which I am unaware)?
3maybe Louie G and Michelle B should be on the tee shirt?
4My daughter is coming for a visit. The house is clean, but the ceiling in the kitchen has water stains all over it. The plumber has been called.
I stopped for coffee and JJ.
What a hoot.
Thanks for the much needed belly laugh this morning.
5Tranny = transmission?
6That needs another sign underneath it asking Dumb or Dumber?
Also, it seems there is a Libety, TX. Maybe the individual who put up the sign can’t decide if he wants to got to Libety or become a tranny instead. He desperately needs your help in deciding.
7Freedumb = being free to home school, teach creationism, disavow science, spelling, reading, arithmetic and dental care.
Hey folks, in your race to the bottom, look behind you. No one is chasing you, because where you are headed no sane folks want to go.
8JJ, there is actually what I consider to be a serious issue here.
For a long time, I have been trying to put myself into the shoes of Tea Partiers to understand their anger. In doing so, I have concluded that much of their anger comes from being looked down upon and being made fun of by people whose values are antithetical to theirs.
We deride their preachers and their mobile homes and their lack of education (as evidenced by the inability to spell). And, like anyone who feels looked down upon, they HATE us for it.
Hence the popular sentiment of “Do this – it will piss off a liberal!”
Hence, “coaling.” http://forums.themustangsource.com/f657/caught-me-coaling-pickup-driver-506944/
So, making fun of their spelling (and, yes, I did it too) only adds to the huge alienation these folks feel.
They despise the fact that people from a different tribe are making rules that apply to them. I would too.
9Definitely my first good laugh this beautiful Wednesday morning in So. CO …
Good grief and the sad part is, whoever made that sign thinks they are so intelligent and looking pretty damned smug over that creation!!
It’s just sad after you get done laughing about it!!
10That’s an excellent question to be coming from the teaparty Taliban,
11Are we talking automatic, manual (probably not as that is an ‘alien’ name) or he-shes? Maybe Man’l wants to libret his inner Manuela Girl? Sigh Choices choices
12I don’t know if the continuing trend of rightwing misspelled signs is an indictment of US education or not. A lot of these clowns may have been home-schooled by equally uneducated folks under lax state regs. (Virginia has NO state standards for home-schooling as long you claim a “religious” exemption.)
Can’t remember seeing any misspelled leftie signs– anybody?
13Now if it said “libation or tranny,” the choice would be much easier.
14Rhea, perhaps we lefties have committed a typo or two, it happens. But typo sure isn’t the “answer,” when the sign is hand painted.
Home schooled would be my first guess as to this particular sign, but the possibilities are open to elementary school dropout or a KKKristian Day School.
15I don’t have enough information to answer the question.
16@Allmaya
I’m not giving equal consideration or respect to what these buffoons have to say. They are mean nasty people who are doing their damnedest to prevent a majority of people from getting healthcare, living wages, a decent education so people can spell correctly, and helping to ensure there are more people who go hungry or become homeless while the rich get even richer. They’ve helped in proliferating an obscene amount of guns into the general population while militarizing the police. They are people who use the infrastructure every day and yet are unwilling to fund its maintenance. These are the people who balk at funding disaster cleanup and rebuilding in their own country unless they get the money from a social program. These are people willing to see others die around them or lose everything they ever owned for their dogma. They’re climate change deniers who are trying to prevent others from coming up with solutions to prevent miles of their state shorelines from going underwater. They are people who apologize to oil companies when the company spills hundreds of millions of gallons of oil into the ocean. They are the ugly people screaming at children and women trying to find a safe harbor from the conflicts in their country. Conflicts that the US had a hand in. So, why would I encourage these people to do more damage by letting them think their ideas, beliefs, opinions have merit? They should feel alienated – they’re trying to create a dystopia.
17These people spell as they speak and it sounds just fine to them. Unfortunately, the rest of civilization is left head-scratching and dumbfounded. I am reminded of the quote from “Cool Hand Luke” where the chain gang guard says, “What we have here is a failure to communicate.”
18What’s saddest about this is they are probably registered voters and will vote whatever the Koch brothers’ emmisaries tell them to.
19Before we decide between libety and tranny, perhaps we should opt for some edycashun.
20FYI:
Please save the use of “tranny” for references to a device having gears; trans-(desired sex) is the prefered useage…
21I know not what course others may take. But as for me: Give me LIBETY or give me DEATH!
22Why oh why is that these teaparty types can’t spell and have no idea of grammar?
23glf:
You and I are on exactly the same page. Bottom line, I despise their beliefs and what those beliefs are doing to a country I love very much.
But that was not what I was trying to communicate. I am not trying to justify or excuse their anger, but to understand its source. And I posited that a big part of their anger comes from continually being looked down upon by those of us who were lucky enough to get a good education.
24Hukkd awn foniks an homskuld an wii bee voatin fer da TeeParrti…
25Everyone has an opinion, just like everyone has a you-know-what (or more than one). However, the idea that everyone’s opinion is equally valid and deserving of respect is foolish. The main set of folks who seem to believe that are the ones whose opinions are the least worthwhile.
26Oh, I think they had access to a good education. They were the ones who cut school, fell asleep in class, never did homework, disrupted the lessons and finally dropped out at age 16. They whizzed their opportunities away. I understand why they’re angry; I just don’t care.
27It’s impossible to determine the original intent of the Teabilly Movement as it was so rapidly co-opted by the KochBros and associated grifters (Beck, Palin, Ailes, Murdoch, etc). There is nothing to see here. But remember – the sky is always falling in RepublicanLand – so dress appropriately.
28Best comment award goes to Polite Kool Marxist. That was freaking hilarious!
The rest of you are good, too!
29Allmaya:
I hear what you’re saying. Truly. But your desire to understand them is something they will never get. Your
“desire to understand”. Do you get what I mean?
You show a value that has nothing to do with education. It has to do with how you see yourself in the world. How you desire to be a part of it and an admittance that to achieve that end means you have to stretch your mind and work at it in order to understand other people.
They do not have that desire. Their whole existence is tied up in the wonder of themselves. Misspellings? Easily solved. There’s an app for that and I’m sure they all have smart phones. But, they have no desire to download it and use it. They don’t want to be better because they think they’re fine already!
It’s just a damn shame that the phones are smarter than they are! Smart Phones – Dumb People. Sorry, but that’s just how it is. They have chosen to be stupid… and yes, stupid is the correct word. Willful ignorance = stupidity.
30@Allmaya
These morons deserve to be ridiculed. They keep preaching that Americans need to not rely on government and pull themselves up by their own hard work and effort, and yet they are offended by people who have, and can’t make an effort to do the hard work it takes to use a friggin dictionary or spell checker. Their self-reliance meme is hypocritical, as is most of their spiel. JJ said it years ago: hypocrisy should be painful.
31Probably just to me, but “LIBETY or TRANNY” makes me think that Woody Allen predicted the T-schmucks some years ago, when he said,
32“More than any time in history, mankind now faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total extinction. Let us pray that we have the wisdom to choose correctly.”
The tree of LIBETY must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of GOPers and Teabaggers.
33I’d not speculate as to the source of such errors but I would ask is anyone there not too lazy to proofread. I guess when you don’t know,you don’t know. You can’t even look it up in a dictionary.
34Instead of I’m with Stoopid it should state the obvious-I iz Stoopid.
35Unlicensed English leads to vernacular homicide.
36Is our wingnuts learning?
37Dice wins the internets today!
38Pea Tardiers are beyond both belief and description. Their own ancestors came here from countries where they were forcibly kept from having any sort of education because they were not aristocratic for one thing and for another hadn’t two kopeks to rub together. Once they got here the ancestors did a bang up job of learning everything they could learn and then some. It was a mark of honor to speak correctly. The same for writing and spelling. Now their descendants are in full throttle reverse!
39@Dice… we are so unworthy…
40Tranny? Are we talking cars or cross-dressing?
41So many great choices–but Dice wins the internet!
