You have to think that, if Oklahoma State had beaten Oklahoma last Saturday, Mike Gundy would have won Big 12 Coach Of The Year. Now he has to settle for Best Hair. But the winner? Mack Brown? His team was pre-season top five and was favored in every game. Like that [...]

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 09:43:52 -0500

After President Obama's speech on Afghanistan last night, I heard a far amount of criticism. What a gifted speaker he is, though. He looked serious, worried and even slightly emotional, at times. I was drawn in. I felt his concern. I applauded he plea, at the end, for all of [...]

Irritated Tulsan: The Ever-So-Suspicious Kathy Taylor

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 06:36:26 -0500

Something suspicious is going on with our soon-to-be former mayor, Kathy Taylor. I haven’t put my finger on it, but either she’s moved into crazy-menopause mode or finally admitting she’s an alien. I know, that’s ridiculous. Her juices dried decades ago. Taylor is in full PR mode. Not just in random news [...]

The Lost Ogle: Stuff Oklahomans Like: Dipping Pizza in Ranch Dressing

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:01:36 -0500

Number of comments: 9
Around the world, people dip boring foods in ranch dressing to make them taste better. Foods like carrots, celery, and Clark Matthews favorite, broccoli. In Oklahoma, we dip those foods in ranch, but we dip other types of foods, too. Foods that probably don’t need it. Foods like fried pickles, [...]

Peace Arena: Holding Obama to the same standard as Bush on ’stupid wars’

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 23:11:10 -0500

Here are my photos from today’s demonstration against Obama’s escalation of the war in Afghanistan.

Seeing as Oklahoma and Mississippi are continually ranked as the fattest, poorest, most illiterate states, this Freedom Tray should come in handy when all the fatties in blue and orange are shoving bratwurst down their gullets outside the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 2.

Okie Pundit: Wake-Up Calls from RJ Harris

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:33:18 -0500

Two things most voters hate are robo-calls and interfering with private or family time. One of the first things candidates learn at campaign schools is to leave voters alone on holidays, (in Norman and Stillwater) during football games, and if going door to door - after dark.
