Finally, some 2020 Chicken Fried News fodder that isn’t just a laugh-so-you-don’t-cry reaction to the soul-crushing state of the nation.

Every Oklahoma County resident is handcuffed by the jail. For going on 30 years, the taxpayer-funded eyesore has been both a money pit and a source of embarrassment for Oklahoma City. Instead of actually raising the funds to demolish the thing and start from scratch, sheriffs and county officials have thrown every available dollar at […]

Chicken-Fried News: Great Scott!?
The universe keeps writing punchlines for Gov. Kevin Stitt.

Chicken-Fried News: Highly. Communicable.
While the country is in the midst of a pandemic raging uncontrolled and ungoverned by anything resembling a sane, unified public health policy from leadership, much less a sane, unified public health front from the citizenry, many thought that maybe, just maybe, the line would be drawn at marching unsuspecting, trusting children and underpaid, overworked […]

Chicken-Fried News: Bad neighbor
Western Avenue has seen an explosion of growth in recent years, but one advertising agency brought something no other business in the corridor has: rooftop snipers.
