Islamic countries are even more engrossed in religious superstition than the USA, a country where flag lapel pins are more important than clean underwear and importuning for “God’s” blessings on the country conclude every speech by the President on down to city council meetings. The electoral system is stalemated in the USA by the best […]

Isn’t it ironic
Ronald “Skip” Kelly, OKC councilman for Ward 7, thinks there’s no problem with gay and lesbian city workers being unprotected from hiring discrimination. Evidently, he’s unaware of the problems, since they aren’t apparent. There is no recourse should a gay or lesbian worker have a workplace complaint. That worker would be going out on a […]

Challenge accepted
All we need is one example of an impossibility to prove Kern’s source is false. In Kern’s Bible, we read of the sun and moon standing still as related in Joshua. That means gravity ceased; the laws of physics were negated. Religion provides metaphors for an unschooled era; today’s science describes and measures reality. Kern’s […]

George Orwell would understand

Rail talk a pipe dream
Regarding Ben Fenwick’s article stating that downtown rail initiative in MAPS 3 can serve as future framework (Officials: Downtown rail initiative in MAPS 3 can serve as future framework): This talk of light rail, streetcars with embedded rails, etc., is just another pipe dream to blend in with the subliminal message about Bricktown: It’s a […]
