Question and response to carry in public

The picture on the right was posted on a website with this accompanying question;  “If you were in a public place, would you feel comfortable with this man sitting ten feet from your children?”

To this consideration one Oklahoma Mother answered, “I would explain to my children that while it is this person’s right to wear such garbage, I cannot approve. In no uncertain terms I would tell them that if I EVER catch them wearing brown slacks with blue socks  IN PUBLIC — I will slap the ever-living snot out of them.”   Continue reading

Who is more biased: Right or Left?

When it comes to politics, there seems to be more division now than ever. Disagreements over how the government should handle (or refrain from intervention in) certain issues has reached fever pitch.

Trump’s top 100 on his 100th day

However, at his rally Saturday and as far back as candidate Trump’s selection of Mike Pence; this Democratically elected 45th President of the United States of America has accomplished more against greater opposition than any president in the history of the world.  Continue reading

What flag for Tulsa?

Opinion:  In the category of stupid stuff the Tulsa City Council has done, this may be the most classic for historians. Not the out-of-control budget or streets or street lights. Not runaway city pensions. Not public safety or public education (which they hold no authority to address) or even escalating bureaucracy with endless fees and worthless permits.

Our City Council Guardians of Pointless Pontification are pursuing designs for a new Tulsa Flag. Doesn’t that just inspire your city pride?  (Read heavy with sarcasm.)  Continue reading
