According to one study, Oklahoma ranks #5 in accessing online porn sites. The other four of the top five are the liberal strongholds of Alaska, Hawaii, Mississippi, and Utah. Utah ranked #1 in online porn and Jello consumption.

It was just nominated when I posted that, now it's official, Flaming Lips' Do You Realize is now Oklahoma's Official Rock Song, by a very generous definition of Rock.

Okies don't need your kind 'round these here parts, Richard Dawkins.

Oklahoma state Representative Todd Thomsen (R-idiculous) filed resolutions critical of plans for famed evolutionary biologist and atheist Richard Dawkins to speak at OU in Norman, Oklahoma.

resolutions filed earlier this week sayOklahoma House of Representatives strongly opposes the invitation and that Dawkins' published statements on evolution and opinions about those who do not believe it "are contrary and offensive to the views and opinions of most citizens of Oklahoma."


University of Oklahoma President and former Oklahoma Governor David Boren said various speakers were invited to OU for the Darwin 2009 Project, Dawkins was not invited as part of a formal university program.

OU President BorenIf individual faculty and students want to extend invitations to those who are critics of Darwin, the university would extend full rights of free speech to them as well.

One of the basic functions of the university is to be a free marketplace of ideas. Free speech on a university campus is protected by the First Amendment just as all Americans have the right to speak and think for themselves.



In your face, Rep. Thomsen. Sit on your non-binding resolution and spin.

Coolio was scheduled to headline a concert at Flytrap Music Hall here tonight, but was detained in LA for possession of crack cocaine. Tone Loc, also on the program, covered for him in T-town.

Vote for Obama, no hunter safety class for you.

Hunter Safety course volunteer instructor kicks Marine and son out of his class because they answered in the affirmative to the instructor asking if anyone voted for Obama. Volunteer now unvolunteered.


Apparently Mr. Gun-safety-guy doesn't believe in Democracy.

Thousands show up for Dawkin's lecture. Only one protester in the audience yelled at him during the question and answer section, telling Dawkins to "shut the fuck up" and that he was going to "burn in hell".

Yea, Oklahoma!

THAT the Oklahoma House of Representatives encourages the University of Oklahoma to engage in an open, dignified, and fair discussion of the Darwinian theory of evolution and all other scientific theories which is the approach that a public institution should be engaged in and which represents the desire and interest of the citizens of Oklahoma.

You win some, you lose some.

Tulsan wins $2000 at the Creek Nation Casino, picks up two hot chicks who say they're massage therapists, takes them to his place. They run off with his money while his pants are down. They are caught shortly spending some of the cash at a convenience store.


I guess there was a happy ending after all.

W!T!F?!!



Unflappable flag-waving Oklahoma lawmaker causes flag proposal flap over submitting a bill to change the state's name "OKLAHOMA" on the Oklahoma state flag to "Oklahoma!". The bill would also create an official state abbreviation: "OK!"

I don't get the point. How many other states have an "official state abbreviation"?

If not for this bridge Red Fork might have become the Oil Capital of the World and Tulsa, a mere suburb.



Oil had been discovered south and west of the Arkansas River; the small railroad town known as Tulsey Town was on the other side of the river. A bond issue to build a bridge failed so three Tulsey Town businessmen decided to 'git-r-dun'. The wagon bridge opened in January of 1904, several years after oil was struck in Red Fork.

Another of Oklahoma's finest law enforcement officers convicted.

Former Custer County Oklahoma sheriff convicted of thirteen felony counts, including five counts of second-degree rape. A 79 year prison sentence was handed to the 56 year old man, though the jury had recommended 94 years. He should take heart, it could've been worse, the jury acquitted him of twenty-three other charges, including second-degree rape, forcible sodomy and rape by instrumentation. The trial was held in Fairview Oklahoma, Major County seat, moved there because of pretrial publicity in Custer County.


I hear inmate raping law officers are really popular in prison, Mr. Burgess.

Record number of Okies are on food stamps.

Almost one out of eight Oklahoma residents are on food stamps. The number increased by over 6,000 since February. The good news is the subsidy went up 13.6% Wednesday, part of the federal stimulus package.


Oh, boy, now I can get me that chicken fried bacon dinner.

Santa Claus shoots man looking for escaped horses.



Young drunken Okie decides, with utter mental clarity no doubt, that wandering out into someone's pasture in the middle of the night was an appropriate activity. The elderly landowner, whose appearance resembles that famous red clad holiday elf, lobs some rifle shots in his general direction. One bullet strikes drunken 23 year old in the leg, he bleeds to death. White-bearded man taken to jail on suspicion of manslaughter.


By god, he could've been trying to molest the reindeer.

To celebrate gainful employment in recessionary times, daughter notsosure and I went to Woolaroc for the afternoon (after BBQ at Dinks in Bartlesville first, of course). Woolaroc is the former ranch home of Frank Phillips of Phillips Petroleum fame.

There we saw something I knew I had to post here. Chief Wah-she-hah*, commonly known as Bacon Rind, perhaps the most photographed Osage Indian ever, was an elected chief the Osage tribe for a short while until removed from office by the Bureau of Indian Affairs due to an oil lease bribery scandal.

Chief Bacon Rind:

Chief Bacon Rind and others with oil baron Frank Phillips, the latter in full Indian regalia including war bonnet:

*Wah-she-hah means Star-That-Travels, a great name, don't you think? Better than Two-Dogs-Fucking.
