Oklahoma to corporations: We love you!
Credit: Brad Gregg And as failed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney taught us, “Corporations are people, my friend.” According to The New York Times, the Sooner State spends around $2.19 billion annually on corporate incentive programs. That translates to $584 for every Oklahoman going toward paying for business incentives — or 37 cents for every […]

What would J.C. do?
Credit: Brad Gregg It might make sense for Republicans to be pondering a change in light of the party’s unpopularity among African- Americans and Hispanics. In the Nov. 6 election, President Barack Obama won 93 percent of the African-American vote and more than 70 percent of the Hispanic vote. Watts, who is African-American and long […]

To litigate or not to litigate?
Credit: Brad Gregg “The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept.” “If it doesn’t fit, thou must acquit.” Those lines were penned by William Shakespeare, whose plays took a great interest in the workings of the law and the dramas of the court. (That last one might not be his. Who knows? We […]

Friends in high places
Credit: Brad Gregg Brooks told the Sun, “It would be amazing if it works out with Scorsese. I’m not confirming or denying that.” Our hope is that the 70-year-old Scorsese, arguably America’s greatest living director, won’t waste his time with someone who peaked 20 years ago.
