If you thought the Bice v. Neese campaign ads were hilarious, you have got to see what ol’ Jim Inhofe is pumping into the public airwaves these days.

Chicken-Fried News: Gambling problem
Last year, the tribal nations operating Oklahoma’s more than 100 casinos paid $139 million to the state in “exclusivity fees,” according to Associated Press, but Gov.

Chicken-Fried News: Shell shocked
Believe it or not, plastic straws aren’t the only things harming and killing turtles. Along with a host of other plastic products and lax regulations on huge corporations, a massive illegal turtle trade network — yes, a black market for turtles — is also a major threat. In fact, Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation is […]
