Tea Party active in OK legislature, where are the business leaders to stop this nonsense?

Representatives Randy Brogdon and Charles Key are giving Sally Kern a run for the money to make Oklahoma radioactive for business development. Why? Because they might have to let law enforcement count attacks motivated by homophobia in Oklahoma. The conspiracy theory (there always is one with the Right, isn’t there, the poor little victimized bullies) is that under this… Read the rest

The difference between liberals and conservatives

… on health care and everything else.

Edward Kennedy wanted all Americans to have access to the kind of health care he had and to make sure everyone had a safety net in place that allowed them to take the kind of risks necessary to become a millionaire if that’s what they wanted to do. His conservative enemies,

The Oklahoman having ‘difficulty’ with Kennedy’s liberal legacy

I know you all will be shocked by this, but The Oklahoman has used the occasion of Ted Kennedy’s death to question his political contributions to the nation and bash liberals.
“…estimating Kennedy’s historic imprint is difficult — and not just because we and millions of Americans not living on either coast disagreed with him on the size and… Read the rest

Rightwingnuts on the take

I’ve seen versions of this before. Now actual old ladies at these brownshirt infested town halls are screaming “No government run health care, and don’t touch my Medicare.” So I have a hard time laughing at it, since it’s all too daily an occurance — and they don’t even try to cloak their insanity anymore. since to the media, it’s… Read the rest

Mean things I could do

Turns out I’m a big meanie because I won’t open my so-called liberal heart to loving bipartisan accord with Sally Kern and her anti-gay Christian Taliban brigade  (see, I just did it again!).
So I was thinking, what mean things could I do, now that my cover is blown?
How about we distribute the stimulus money, jobs and programs… Read the rest

The world wept for joy; Oklahoma spat defiantly. The glory train of history pulled out of the station; Oklahoma waved

Oklahoma election post mortems

The whole world is trying to figure out what’s up with us here in Red Dirt land. Last Tuesday, for good or bad, we certainly took a different tack, and everyone wants to know why.
The great blog Down With Tyranny regularly has insightful posts about Oklahoma politics, with some of the best rants against Inhofe for years now, and… Read the rest

A new low in anti-intellectualism

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. Bush did). She does have a special talent, all right, and is hereby awarded first prize in the contest… Read the rest
