Dr. Sustainable or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love U.N. Agenda 21′
There’s nothing like spicing up what could have been an otherwise fairly dull public meeting with some angry citizen input. A group of concerned citizens knew what the real intentions were when the Edmond City Council held a sustainability forum on Dec. 6 ” nothing short of global domination by the United Nations. This reaction…
Giving prisoners the ‘Bird
Most people would be excited to see their picture in the paper, maybe post it on the fridge for everyone to see. Then again, when the name of the publication is OK Jailbirds, maybe not. That’s right, Stephens County is putting out a new magazine that prints the photo of anyone who’s been arrested in…
Tax cut reaction
As I write this, our president is attempting to justify caving into Republican blackmail. The party wanting to kill government spending held our nation’s unemployed hostage until we extended tax cuts to the wealthy. Apparently, we do negotiate with terrorists. The Republicans like to claim that extending these tax breaks will create jobs. Well, I…
Get your goatee
The latest senator to get the goat “? or goatee “? of the Washington press corps is none other than Oklahoma’s Tom Coburn. We’re not talking a flavor saver or soul patch. Growing like the deficit as the Fed quantitatively eases more money, Coburn’s peach fuzz blossomed into a near Fu Manchu earlier this month.…

PR BS
Lots of press releases related to the Sooner State cross our desk. This week, these titles least screamed “Stop the presses!” “”Media Advisory – Mayor Cornett will ask Santa to shed pounds” “”LIVE ONLINE P*RNOGRAPHY CONFERENCE ANNOUNCED” “”MicroTech CEO to Ring NASDAQ Closing Bell” “”Studies Examine Risk Factor Prediction and Treatment Regimens for Venous Thromboembolism”…
Batch should ‘think globally, act locally’
Nathaniel Batchelder is certainly persistent to demonize Glenn Beck and company when you ask him to prove his smears (Letters, “Saving humanity,” Nov. 17, Gazette). In now his second refusal to substantiate his smear that Beck characterized President Obama as a Kenyan-born Muslim, Batchelder again attacks Fox with falsehood. Batchelder writes that, “Australian multi-billionaire Rupert…
CFN QOTW, Part Deux
“One routinely ‘cynical-at-all-things-prosecutor’ weekly Oklahoma City paper later chastised us for having had the audacity to get cable television for rent houses, as if we were trying to rip off the good citizens of Oklahoma and had nothing better to do than sit around watching The Food Channel. They hadn’t bothered to learn that my…
Point: Sustainability is ‘good stewardship’
Edmond called a meeting to discuss a “sustainability plan,” but protesters disrupted the meeting and shouted down citizens. The protesters believe Agenda 21 ” a United Nations plan for sustainable development ” is an effort to impose a global socialist government run by a small ruling elite. They must think the U.N., under a green…
If you can read this
Being that Oklahoma Gazette is full of words, Chicken-Fried News loves us some literacy! Whether you’re getting a Kindle this gift-giving season or still reading the old-fashioned way (magazine kept atop the toilet tank), local organizations want you ” yes, you! ” to keep at it. First, the Metropolitan Library System has jumped on the…
Counterpoint: An internationalist agenda
When you hear the word “sustainability,” think U.N. Agenda 21. That’s the source of the concept of “sustainability.” Agenda 21 is a 40-chapter document spelling out how all activities on the planet are to be brought under the control of the United Nations to create a “sustainable” future for all, forever. George H. W. Bush…
Back to ‘reality’
When I see the lead-in to stories such as “Reality check” (Carol Cole-Frowe, Dec. 1, Gazette) blaming HIV (yet again) on the “younger generation,” I wonder why we continue to ignore two decades of careful epidemiological research clearly showing HIV/AIDS is being contracted at dramatically older ages and is increasingly concentrated in impoverished populations. In…
‘Cover’ it up
To Misha Klein, the parent who said your Nov. 24 Oklahoma Gazette Donny Vomit cover was inappropriate for her child (Letters, “Nail files,” Dec. 8): Why doesn’t she take responsibility and put her Gazette where it can’t be seen by her little angel? Like the old adage says, “If you don’t like the channel, change…
Spot’ foul
This is regarding the letter from Misha Klein (Letters, “Nail files,” Dec. 8). She suggested that the Gazette was irresponsible in a cover it printed, deeming the content inappropriate for her 4-year-old to see, and she was dismayed with his response to it. My question to Klein is this: If you found it inappropriate,…
The A-Team
Lighten up, America! The very definition of Big Dumb Summer Fun was delivered to you on a silver platter —? make that a tank on a parachute —? and you reject it? Here’s your second chance: “The A-Team” is now on home video, and it’s a solid B. Based on NBC’s 1980s hit television series,…
Nativity!
Normally, that “FAMILY APPROVED” dove symbol slapped on DVD covers is more of a warning than an invitation “? one indicating harmless but witless tripe that expects all it needs to ingratiate itself to viewers is delivering a sweet message, particularly one shoved down their throats. “Nativity!” bears such a symbol, but it is not…
