Black students, faculty and staff at University of Oklahoma matter. We’re appalled they can’t get through one single semester without a racist incident, but here we are again.

Chicken-Fried News: Not in Kansas
Remember last week when the president of the United States congratulated Kansas City’s Super Bowl champions for representing “the Great State of Kansas … so very well” in a since-deleted-and-corrected tweet? People familiar with the admittedly confusing geography of Kansas City (hint: the NFL team actually plays in Missouri) had one of those brief, nervous, […]

Forget porch pirates! Jason Kravis took Amazon package theft to a whole new level when he stole an entire delivery van in Tulsa.

Chicken-Fried News: Vanity plates
It’s almost time for the legislative session, which can mean only one thing: unconstitutional and/or ridiculous bills that will waste lawmakers’ time and energy and distract from more important matters.

Chicken-Fried News: Taxpayer business
Business ownership while entering political office opens up all sorts of ethical concerns.
