  • JFK Day

    November 22, 1963 is a day that lives in the memory of any American alive on that day. I was alive on that day, though I was but a wee lad. I celebrated my 5th birthday in February of ’63.

    Well, I say I celebrated my 5th birthday. [...]

  • Funky Poll Numbers

    If there is one thing in this country of which there is plenty it would be poll numbers. I’ve seen quite a few reports of Obama’s overall approval rating in recent days, and I’m struck by the spread.

    Several days ago, I read that Obama’s overall approval rating was [...]

  • What Might Have Been

    They played a game with some stank on it, but the Pokes managed to notch their ninth win this evening. OU is all that stands between the Pokes and a record tenth win.

    Where would the Pokes be now if not for a major game fart in the [...]

  • Is There More Than One President?

    President Obama, in the midst of yet another trip on the taxpayer dime, was interviewed by CBS Evening News. He made a comment I found most interesting.

    The topic of White House leaks concerning Afghanistan was raised. Obama said he was angry about the leaks. He said meetings about [...]

  • Crisis? What Crisis?

    I rarely watch KTUL at 4:30, but I thought I would see if the station was going to make any mention of ABC's findings about "stimulus" money going to congressional districts that don't exist. And what was the lead story I encountered? It was a report that said Tulsa Public' [...]

  • Two Hundred No-Shows Per Day

    Schools are facing budget cuts; we’re all doomed! So say the plentiful local TV news reports on the matter. Of course, November is a ratings month. The political-educational complex just keeps rolling along.

    It wasn’t long ago that the state’s General Fund was bulging with new money, thanks in [...]

  • Stimulating Boredom

    KOTV’s Oklahoma Impact series continues, tracking stimulus spending in the state. I like the series, though I must say it is becoming monotonous. It’s just story after story about Obama and his Democratic cohorts passing out money---borrowed money---in a grand vote-buying scheme while calling it “economic stimulus.”

    Last [...]

  • Health Care Reform: Wrongheaded

    I’ll not claim to be an expert on health care. Nonetheless, I am no supporter of what is presented as reform in Washington these days. One of the reasons for my lack of support has to do with rationale. Politicians seem to think covering everyone with health insurance solves all [...]

  • Obama's Lost Mojo

    I heard it said, on a TV show not long ago, which one I don’t recall, that Obama’s approval rating had dropped more in the first year than any president before him. That comment was made before the latest poll numbers surfaced, which say the great one’s approval rating is [...]

  • A Vote of No Confidence

    Tulsa’s city election is over---thank God. About one more day’s worth of those mayoral ads would have prompted me to throw my TV out the window.

    Meanwhile, the outcome of the vote was interesting. A not-too-subtle message was sent by voters. The message is this: People are not happy [...]

  • What If We Had HOPE?

    If you haven’t heard much about the HOPE initiative, you will. If I have this right, the measure is now a state question and will be on a ballot a year from now.

    HOPE is the latest educator attempt to rape the state coffers for their own benefit. If [...]

  • Pelosi's Bill

    Nancy Pelosi’s health care bill passed the House yesterday. The news should be met with a yawn by all.

    In a House dominated by Democrats, the bill only passed by 5 votes. In addition, the vote was taken on a Saturday. Pundits will tell you whenever Washington wants an [...]

  • Tulsa's Car Lot

    Recently, KOTV reported the City of Tulsa will sell over 200 automobiles because they are, for the most part, sitting around collecting dust. The report said the move will save $235,000 in annual costs associated with maintaining the vehicles, and raise $300,000 in cash.

    I have no problem [...]

  • Mitch Daniels for President?

    It pains me to say something good about a politician, but if a presidential election were held today and Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana was on the ballot, I'd vote for him---two or three times if they'd let me.

    You know what they say in Chicago: Vote early; vote [...]

  • Fragments

    Maybe I should’ve left them Texicans alone. I think they read my blog and went into Stillwater a little pissed!

    Was it Texican prowess or Poke ineptitude? I guess that’s the question. I vote for the latter. Five turnovers, a shanked field goal, penalties galore and dropped passes won’t [...]

  • Cheating in Athletics: No Surprise

    Not long ago, Jenks High School was in the headlines for, in essence, getting busted for recruiting football players. It started with one star player. The head coach went on “self-imposed suspension”---whatever the hell that meant. Then the scandal expanded. There were issues of residency, and issues of boosters actually [...]

  • The Millionaire Mayor Game

    Recent reports are saying the combined raising and spending of three mayoral candidates in Tulsa approaches $2 million.

    Who loves campaign seasons? It ain’t me, I can tell you that. My BS recycle bin is overflowing. But I imagine the owners of the local TV stations are peeing [...]

  • Sales Taxes in Mayberry

    Yesterday, as I bounced around the TV, I ran across an old episode of ‘The Andy Griffith Show.’ The show has been around for over 40 years, yet it can still provide the most entertaining option for viewing at times. I find that amazing on the one hand, but somewhat [...]
