My friend David attended and got some pics and other impressions, which I posted earlier.
But he also was brave enough to do an interview with the local event organizer and challenge on his (David’s) premise that Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh would feel right at home with the teabaggers (sic).
David managed to top [...]
On April 14, 1939, The Grapes of Wrath was released, to immediate public and critical success. And to immediate controversy. In Oklahoma, the book was sometimes misunderstood, or perhaps understood all too well, and thus maligned for craven political purposes. Anyone who reads the book with even a scintilla of awareness can recognize that the [...]

The company that knowingly screwed Lilly Ledbetter out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, then spent hundreds of thousands to “defend” itself from her discrimination lawsuit all the way to the Supreme Court, was Goodyear Tire & Rubber. Please remember that the next time you are in the market for tires.
Fair is fair. That [...]
Ah, now that Sen. Inhofe has been re-elected, we can look forward to six more years of his silly yet dangerous shenanigans in the Senate. Even the Tulsa World reporter can’t resist a not so subtle poke at Oklahoma’s very own drama queen in D.C. as he reacts to the new fuel efficiency standards now [...]
A video of folk legend Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen singing Woody Guthrie’s socialist-tinged “The Land is Your Land,” was removed by the Google-owned service after HBO complained about its exclusive rights to the event had been violated.

Finally, it is about over. Just two days, and we can watch watch his chickenhawk ass get out of our White House and our Capital City. Bush and his accomplices will continue to try to whitewash his “legacy” but they will fail. The best George W. Bush can hope from history is eternal ignominy. With [...]
All around the country Monday night, Americans will be coming together to discuss the coming changes to our health care system, and how we want to influence the degree and outcome of those changes. Thanks to the work of those who worked on the Obama campaign here, those in and near Oklahoma City will be [...]
