This is becoming pathological, deeply disturbing and perhaps even a case for serious psychotherapy. Gov. Kevin Stitt wants to eliminate OETA because it “indoctrinates children.” Programs like Clifford the Big Red Dog are to blame, because there was an episode where someone had two mothers, and since that never actually happens in the real […]

Protesting for privacy
“HIE. Not for me.” The chant echoed around the steps of the state capitol March 18. The crowd had marched from the Oklahoma Health Care Authority’s office parking lot, down Lincoln Boulevard before several hours of speeches under a sun fierce enough to burn but too cold to free them from their coats and sweaters.

According to Bob Anthony, it’s not that the Oklahoma Corporation Commission can’t do something to reign in energy companies, it’s that they don’t want to.
According to Bob Anthony, it’s not that the Oklahoma Corporation Commission can’t do something to reign in energy companies, it’s that they don’t want to. “The contagion of self-diagnosed impotence at the Corporation Commission is more than just a disservice to Oklahoma ratepayers; it is a dereliction of this agency’s constitutional and statutory duties,” he […]

Poor Kevin isn’t getting his way and he’s throwing an absolute temper tantrum about it.

Safety meetings
Four Twenty-Too On a quiet and smoky Sunday afternoon, Eden Rose and Oklahoma Gazette got together at the Dirty Reggae Punx practice space. From there, the idea of doing ongoing (and free) lowkey shows for the community was born. The first, Halfway to 420, in mid-February was a blast, so we’ve decided to do it […]

You’re tasting fine, Oklahoma!
Although Oklahoma’s statehood wasn’t until November of 1907, the state holiday Oklahoma Day’s official date is celebrated April 22. While we may be the lowest-ranking state regarding some of the more important public matters, it’s hard to argue our beautiful state doesn’t have some of the most iconic and timeless comfort cuisines. Saddle up to […]
