Dustin Bolton of (I think) Norman, attended the counter protest to the Phelps’ gang at OCU on Oct. 24. His photo album is here.
I missed the demo, unfortunately. I never like to miss a demo on a good cause, but this one looked very special, with a lot of caring young people, fighting back against … read more »
Today I took advantage of Oklahoma’s early voting opportunity. I went down to the Election Board for Canadian County and found a line. It took me about 50 minutes for the whole process, which is way longer than the other two times I’ve done early voting, but from what I hear, not nearly as long … read more »
The DemoOkie Forum is the original grassroots site of rank and file Democrats. I’ve noted before that the site, run completely on Snitz Forums while trying to be a portal, forum, calendar and blog all at once, is a bit strange. And that’s just the tech stuff.
But it was chosen, deservedly (although by default) … read more »
The Young Democrats of Oklahoma are hosting a phonebanking marathon this weekend to get out the vote (GOTV). I certainly don’t qualify, but very encouraged to see young folks working so hard for their party in a state where doing so can be pretty discouraging. But that’s probably why they keep the membership below a … read more »

Feeling under the weather (pun intended, see below), I took a nap today, and happened to turn the TV to the History Channel. My lucky day; they slipped up and broadcast a show that was NOT about war or truck drivers! In fact it was about the Dust Bowl, a subject I’ve become fascinated with … read more »
Sarah Palin is a pathetic, mush-for-brains dolt. I used to think she was monumentally dumb and incurious, but had political instincts that could compensate enough for her to succeed in her corrupt career path for the foreseeable future (like George W.
