… I’d be flirting with this guy.
Allow me to introduce myself to you, the existing (or aspiring!) strategist for the Republican Party. My name is Eric Arnold Garland and I am a White Man. Boy, am I ever – you need sunglasses just to look at my photo!
You need to share your morning coffee with Eric Garland. He’s the Republican Whisperer.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
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.
Brains and a sense of humor. Always attractive to smart women.
1I don’t believe you can say it any better than this.
2Great way to start the day. Thanks to everyone~
3Stealing this one. Thanks!
4Just posted this on my Facebook page – thanks darlin… I guess I should re-friend all those East Texas Rethugs I de-friended during the election just so they can read this.
5Oh and Emoon, Also attractive to Smart men…. Just sayin
Most excellent. Don’t have the time right now to read all the of the comments, but the ones I have read are some of the most articulate, sensible, discussions to be seen anywhere on the intertubes.
I actually have friends just like this guy, so I know they are out there in droves.
6I just posted to my Facebook page, too! He is so good, it almost brought tears to my eyes!! I’m with you, JJ, I think I love this guy, too!
What a great way to start my Monday morning!! Woohoo!!!
7New phrases that will make me smile today
Satans butt cheeks
8Intellectual pig dung
Sometimes it’s hard to tell Republicans from the satirists. I wasn’t awake and trying to figure out what on earth? Then the caffeine hit. Very good.
9Lordy Mercy – I love that man!!! There is nothing sexier than smart and funny – and this guy is both! Wonder which right wing crazy will respond to that? I hope they do it online – whoever it is. I think that just made my day.
10Brilliant.
Love him.
11Almost as much as I love Mz. JJ.
Juanita Jean Herownself/Eric Garland 2016!
12Sigh…wow…a real, live, thinking man. At this point, I don’t care that he’s a…gasp…Republican. The rest is pure, unadulterated, divineness!!!
13Can we just adopt him….and his whole family.
What an articulate, sensible man.
14Thanks for this link. I hadn’t read anything by him until this morning, but for sure he will be a regular stop on my web crawling every day.
15JJ, if you decide to take the plunge with Eric, can I have Bubba?
16Good man, great column.
Also good discussion in comments about why Catholic hospitals etc. shouldn’t be allowed to dictate their employees’ health coverage of birth control. (They take government money; the health coverage is part of the job; a strict Jewish employer could not dictate that you don’t buy ham with your salary, etc.)
17When is Eric Garland running for office & where can I donate?
18Ok, following that one along with Margaret and Helen! Thank you so very much! I think Inhofe may have emanated straight from Satans butt cheeks, myself! LOL!
19I just read this and was going to send to you but wanted to see if you already had it. I have to say that Juanita Jean and her patrons are cutti g edge. God bless you I am so proud you got there beforke me. This is the best beauty shop I have ever visited.
20I’m afraid he’s a little too eager to blame old Boomers since the vanguard was the cohort that preceded them, the ones too young to serve in Korea and too old to serve in Vietnam, drafted into a peacetime military when there was no reason to question the conservative conditioning. The younger cohort of Boomers, too young for Vietnam and the 1960s, have also pretty much accepted the conservative party line. The older Boomers have taken all the economic blows dealt to the country full force. A lot of them didn’t divorce because they just couldn’t afford to. The other two cohorts could and did.
Other than his generational confusion, this was a righteous rant. His party won’t listen to him no matter how rich or white he is, though. He’ll have to start getting written messages from god on stone tablets for that.
21If this guy is really descended from John Alden, then I’m going to have to talk with my friend whose last name is Alden and who is descended from John with none of that related-by-marriage stuff, it’s patrilineal all the way.
22“…my two beautiful children who are, inexplicably, EVEN WHITER THAN I AM.” Inexplicably? Your wife is a redhead, moron. Comes with the territory.
That said, it is a beautiful piece of satire against the old white men. A bit too much profanity in it for me, but interestingly written.
23If you haven’t already, the post to read is by Doc Bedlam about 11 hrs ago – before comments hit > 1200. It is the cynicism at its best… probably show up in The Onion. I copied it, but it’s too long to post here.
Gotta love ya, JJ, for posting this. I’ve been lurking, but not posting. Hugs to everyone ~ Moms
24Okay, reading this along with morning coffee will make your day. Except that I’m quite a bit older, I’m one of those who pretty much fits his self-described profile.
Just one piece of advice. Don’t have coffee in your mouth at the same time you’re reading – or you’re liable to laugh so hard you’ll be snorting coffee out through your nose!
