“I
often find myself screaming or laughing,” Rancho told Chicken-Fried
News. “I used to fire off various rants on Facebook that, while
satisfying, didn’t endear myself to friends and non-friends.”
After
he lost his Facebook outlet — and an ugly bout of defriending — he was

thought Oklahoma City deserved its own,” he said. “A big-time city
deserves a bigtime tumblr.”
He’s
already weighed in on things like local legislators’ response to
Obamacare, the views atop the Devon tower and the “retirement” of
Chesapeake Energy CEO Aubrey McClendon.
“Say or do something stupid and I will find you,” Rancho vowed. “This is especially true if you are any position of power.”
