Local (Tulsa KOTV) actually had a piece on Cindy's Crawford visit

[karlrschneider]

Wasn't very long, just a couple minutes but it was fairly well done, politically neutral, just the facts. I was surprised to see it.

1. I'd swear Oklahoma's not as red as she sometimes seems...

:shrug:

3. This state is virtually insane, politically. Our Gov is a Dem (fairly con

servative, though) and most of our local and state elected officials are too but the dolts have a habit of sending Repugs to Washington. I'm sure the reasons are 99% about shit like abortion, gay marriage (God guns and gays...you know the story)
:eyes:
:grr:

6. think there was funny business with Coburn winning??? dem leading

until very end.......leading in polls before election

maybe OK one of the sure W states where the vote was padded so it would look like W really won the popular vote (IOW, the manipulation wouldn't be so blatant as in FL2000)????

7. I wouldn't be surprised. I've known Tom Coburn very well personally

for 30 years...I was chief pilot for his daddy's company and flew him all over the country since he was a snotty teenager. I am seriously considering driving down to his house (I now live 20 miles away) and dragging his butt off to lunch and some serious conversation. I think he would go...if I remind him how many times his life was literally in my hands. Whether he'd listen and consider is another matter. His father was a fanatical Republican and we had many loud arguments over politics but I really never got into any such discussions with Tom,
I left that job about the time he went into medical school and the company was sold and they got rid of my (well not 'my')* airplane.

* I -treated- it as if it were my own - not a totally altruistic endeavor since the pilot usually hits first if the thing encounters any immovable obstacles.

8. Oh, I know, I know!

I'm very involved with a UU church down in Norman, so I know how active the liberals can be in Oklahoma. You'd never know it by watching national election returns though.

2. Let me be the first... Cindy Crawford's visit? I know I know. Just kidding

Has anyone sent them stuff? You know you can sent stuff fedex & the like. Food from your favorite restaurants, care packages.

I'm tempted.

4. Some of them are doing hunger strikes!

Diane from Code Pink is... I imagine it would suck for her if you sent over a meal from your favorite restaurant :)

5. No food it is!
