These events have become routine in this country, but this one is getting attention because its on a larger scale. What is wrong with us? How many children have to die before we do something about this nonsense? I don’t care what the Second Amendment says: We are not responsible enough as a society to […]

Hooker fashion
There are too many females 14 years of age and up garbed in black net stock ings, spike heels and cleavage down to here; and that’s just in school cafeterias and churches. Hookers just don’t look all that salacious when compared to our local darlings. And if you wonder who these lithe little things are […]

Larry, Moe and Curly
They have finally proven that Republicans in this state are even dumber and more useless than the Democrats. According to The Oklahoman, 40 percent of taxpayers making under $25,000 a year would have seen their taxes go up under the Fallin scheme (typical class-warfare by the GOP) but the real “WTF?” head-shaker was that many […]

Careful where you point that
With no means of immediately identifying at a distance whether a person has a valid concealed carry permit (authorizing an open carry), anyone can open carry without being questioned. So how long before criminals become audacious enough to wear their firearms openly? From a legal standpoint, there are almost no circumstances where a private citizen […]

Dumbing down
Johnson & Johnson’s dental floss now has instructions on the back of its package showing how to properly cut the floss. This illustrates just how dumbed down a major U.S. company thinks the American public has become. The preponderance of your pro- Obama letters in the May 2 Oklahoma Gazette also illustrates this point. —Martin […]

Republicans to blame
Had the Republican/ religious/ extreme right not opposed every dime of family planning, free contraceptives and sex education in their high extremist zeal, this problem would be manageable, rather than the long-suffering taxpayer being saddled with more costs. If the Keating, Istook and Fallin loons representing the Heritage Foundation/ Catholic Church/John Birchers used some common […]

Ignorance and hate
He fabricates a narrative which portrays the president as incompetent. The substance and syntax clearly indicate that the writer is either profoundly ignorant, or consumed by hate, or both. With ignorance and hate being the sum and substance of the letter, it would be useless to address it point by point. In fact, to do […]

Respect the office
This is simply not the case with regard to our federal debt situation or our economic situation at the time that President Obama took office, and it does not hold now. The long-term effects of 30 years of government deregulation of economic markets; privatization of public services; de-investment in our nation’s infrastructure; easing of tax […]

You call that green?
I’ve never seen such a conflicted publication. First, according to core samples at landfills, it’s not disposable diapers, but newspapers (including Oklahoma Gazette) and Yellow Pages taking up all that space. Next Greg Horton sings the praises of a so-called man of God who denigrates the Bible, the basis for the Christian faith. Then we […]

He deserves no respect
Hypothetical situation. Say you own a company. It’s $1 million in debt, so you hire a new person to run it. The person you hire has never had a job, done a payroll, knows nothing about your product or service, knows nothing about your clients, knows nothing about policy mandates. When this person takes over, […]
