Beat that heat
We made the trek out to the remote corner of the state for the annual Selman Bat Watch, and it was so hot (apparently the thermometer read 113, but I can’t even compute temps above 90) that I bought a hat. And I look horrible in hats. I most closely resembled someone named Wilma, an […]

Calculated account
In his self-published book “Walmart’s Egonomics: The Greed Behind the Smiley Face,” Charles H. Hood documented his unsuccessful struggle to provide Walmart customers with calculators and advertising mounted on the handles of Walmart shopping carts. Hood, who retired from the ad agency business in 1990, once served as chairman of Ackerman, Hood and McQueen. In […]

Bitter pills
The one-page report listed five painkillers — oxymorphone, morphine, hydrocodone, hydromorphone and oxycodone — and the anti-anxiety medication alprazolam as causing “probable mixed drug toxicity,” which led to central nervous system depression, pulmonary edema and aspiration pneumonia. “The chemicals found in his system were not those that had been prescribed by a physician, and we […]

Conventional wisdom, Bob Stoops and a decent attorney might […]

He concludes with the assertion that “education in Oklahoma will continue to fail until administrators such as Barresi start respecting, talking to and consulting with the teachers.” This is very odd. Quigley’s analysis implies […]

Righteous indignation
In addition to that, I take exception to the ignorant and unfounded implication that there exists, in reality, a single “gay” couple who possess the complete lack of housekeeping and decorating skills pictured therein. Apparently, Mueller has never tuned in to HGTV or TLC. I — along with Charles Darwin and probably Gary Larson — […]

Brother’s Justice
The veteran of MTV’s celebrity prank series “Punk’d” makes that move in “Brother’s Justice,” but alas, it’s only a mockumentary. Shepard gets this not-so-great idea to transform himself into a martial-arts star, and this faux film follows him trying to make that faux film, from wheeling in his producer pal Nate Tuck, to taking meetings […]

Turbulent Skies
While the disaster-movie craze of the 1970s and its rebirth in the late 1990s are long behind us, you wouldn’t know it with writer/director Fred Olen Ray’s take, which may as well as have been titled “Turbulence 4.” (Yes, two sequels to “Turbulence” actually got made.) Consider this: An airplane’s maiden flight controlled by new […]
