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.
At least she didn’t claim her death was due to an Obama Death Panel. I’ll give her credit for that.
1This really does not flow all that well with the rest of the obit on a kind, loving person blah blah blah, does it! I’m leaning back on this. I have already set up a photograph for my family to use in the obit but have not done diddly as to the text. Considering that my family is crazier than anyone else’s, I can just about imagine what they would say!
2Imagining the interview in the antechamber to the Pearly Gates. “Now Mary Anne, you do realize that you didn’t have to vote for either if you didn’t want to, don’t you? A Christian does not have to vote at all.”
“But God and Country…”
“Isn’t in the Bible. Voting is a secular duty. Loving your neighbor is a religious duty. They are not the same.”
“But Pastor Joe always said…”
“Mary Anne. We’ll get through the formalities more quickly if you don’t argue.”
“Yes, but–all right. Yes, of course, Lord–”
“I’m not the Lord. I’m just a clerk. Now: your obituary said you chose to die rather than vote for either Trump or Clinton…did you tell your heirs to write that?”
“Good heavens, no. I mean, I didn’t want to vote for either of them, or that Sanders man, but that’s not why I died. I’d have been happy to live to see my granddaughters get married. It was probably my brother Terry. Or maybe Jake. They’re both terrible kidders.”
“I see. So you are not planning to go around asking everyone up here who they would or wouldn’t vote for?”
“No!”
“That’s fine; we’re almost done. How do you feel about trans women? Because we have a lot of them.”
3I guess we should ask God why he took her to his bosom so young? I mean, she didn’t have a choice, right? God is the decider on these things; God’s will carries the day, every time.
Unless she committed suicide. Somehow, THAT isn’t God’s Plan.
If I had a family member who wrote that in my obit, I would haunt them with rage and malevolence!
4Must have killed herself. Ain’t that illegal according to the fauxknee god squad?
5I wonder if her headstone will be inscribed “None of the above.”
6I got the impression she committed suicide or refused treatment from what was written.
7If she was that upset, she didn’t have to vote!
I would haunt my kids or husband for writing something like that about me!
Doofy obit. Betcha her idiot Teabag kid or grand kid wrote it.
8From what I’ve read, this woman fought a courageous battle against cancer and lost. She was also know as one feisty woman with a great sense of humor, so I can certainly see how her obit reflects her personality. I loved it.

I stand corrected.
10Well it is all wingnuts fault I may have jumped to the wrong conclusions. How, you ask? No idea, it just is.
111smartamerican: I like your view on this.
12Fake Noise is sure to have an accurate story saying this lady was killed personally on orders from HRC because she wouldn’t vote for Madam Clinton. Look for it tomorrow morning.
13Elizabeth Moon, that’s a great story. I loved it. Thanks.
I’ve thought about doing a video for my funeral, but I guess that wouldn’t work for an obit in the paper. I’ve read a few really good ones. One for an old woman included the tidbit that she loved to swear. Me too!
14This is almost as good as obits for a Houston man some years ago- one written by his wife, one by his girlfriend. It’s true. Read them myself.
15man, what a tacky family.
16Someone should have explained there is a vast difference between the wingnut version of christ and the real one. She is in for a bad experience,I am afraid.
