We're not all yokels.

Mostly.

But not all.

15. I have relatives in Tulsa......
My paternal Grandmother went there to die...

My Aunt, married to a thoroughly sleazy scumbag (Subprime Vulture), has lived in Tulsa since 1965

I have an Uncle, a thoroughly closeted Gay Man, living in Tulsa and a staunch Republican....


I wish you well.......

1907 - the last piece of a genocidal puzzle fills in.

28. I know. She tried, she really did. She just couldn't do it anymore and is happier now
I do think it is good to stay and fight.

16. It is so sad...we did try.
I cried because of that fact this morning.

I am in Mexico at the moment, and every guest at my party last night asked what was wrong with people in Oklahoma... :(

23. When I explained Inhofe to them...
they were stunned. Then they asked how someone like me could live there-the Europeans in particular were stunned.

20. 66%
I can't say it enough. We beat Utah and McCain's own state. Oklahoma is now the reddest state. I was born here but I'm a Yankee at heart.

30. Look at the Red states if you make a list
of states by income or education most of them if not all would be in the bottom half.

32. That's what ticks me off the most.
Oklahoma is near or at the bottom of nearly every one of those lists. We have crappy roads, high divorce rates, high teenage pregnancy, and lousy 3.2 beer.

34. Be thankful you don't live in Mississippi, West Virgina
or Arkansas. They pretty much rank 1-2-3 on the list of everything bad. I go to a gym in Wheeling WV you wouldn't believe the locker room this morning you could hear a pair of socks drop, I mean nobody talking about anything not even WVU it was like a funeral home.

35. Unfortunately, racism is alive and well here.
I won't repeat some of the vile things my relatives have said over the past two month.
