oklahoma Median Income, a Big Problem for the State

Another honor for the pathetic state of oklahoma. See data below published by the U.S. Census Bureau. oklahoma comes in as the 44th in income per year. There is a big problem here, two major universities, and several other smaller ones yet the state doesn't offer the graduates of these universities anything but low paying jobs. So they don't stay, and the gap widens. The poor stay poor and get poorer, tax revenue falls, roads get worse and on and on and on. The state will only get worse, if that's possible
Pull your head out, you stupid okies.

OU vs. OSU? Get a Life!

I am constantly amazed at the energy put into being a fan of one of these college sports teams. When I am asked who do you root for, OU or OSU? I reply, "I hate them both equally." Of course, stunned silence follows. Actually, I could care less about either one, it's the fanaticism that I can't stand.

Consider this: only approximately 22 percent of the state of oklahoma's population went to college at all. And I would suppose at least half of them went to some other college in the state such as TU, or some other smaller state university. So what is the deal? All these people sporting OU or OSU license plates, stickers, hats, sweatshirts and they didn't even go to that university, much less to college at all!
It's like a cult, every baby born in this pathetic state is ingrained with his/her parents fanaticism from the day they are born. The poor kids don't even have a chance.

You know what, you stupid okies? Step outside this pathetic state and nobody cares about your stupid universities, NOBODY.

Who do I root for? Whoever OU or OSU happens to be playing that day.

So much time, energy and money wasted on something that really doesn't matter. I put my time, energy and money in the things that do matter. God, my family, my career. Not some stupid college sports team at some university that I didn't even go to.
If you stupid okies would take that time, energy and money and put it into making this crap hole state better, then it could become a decent place to live. As it is now:

How to Explain the Okie Mentality

Yes, it's true. Okies by and large are apathetic, lazy, stupid, dirty, divorced, smokestacks, bigoted, narrow-minded, self righteous, hypocritical, on parole, in jail, in the Sex Offender database, toothless etc. etc. etc. Try to tell them there is a better way, they are offended. Try to change things for the better, they resist. Why? Pigs don't know pigs stink.

tulsa World, Sunday November 20, 2005

I saw a couple of interesting articles in the local rag, the tulsa World this last Sunday.

The first article is titled "Stretch of I-44 Proves Deadly". This article visits the issue concerning I-44 between Riverside Drive and Yale Ave., how dangerous it is and some plans to widen it. There has been some controversy about this project, I think. The article blames the road for 22 traffic deaths in the last 10 years. Hmmm. Moments later, almost in the same breath the causes of death are listed: "five collisions caused by unsafe speed, three crashes caused by drunk drivers, & eight of the people were pedestrians hit on the road." Now I don't know about you, but I consider walking on an Interstate highway, ESPECIALLY one as busy as this, STUPID. I consider drunk driving, STUPID. I consider driving at unsafe speeds, STUPID. Doesn't sound like the road is at fault at all! I think the tulsa World is so deeply involved in the local good ol' boy network that they have something to gain by this road project. STUPID drivers/people kill themselves and others. And what have I said before? Okies are the worst drivers in the U.S. simply due to their STUPIDITY. Of course the road definitely needs updating and I HATE driving on it, but so does every other road/bridge in this pile of crap state.

The second article is featured in the special section "tulsa World 100 Years". It showcases an article from November 20, 1923, "Walton Impeached on First Ballot". It seems oklahoma's fifth Governor, John Walton "was found guilty of corruption in office, neglect of duty, moral turpitude and general incompetence after serving 10 months of his term." Hah, seems like the only thing that has changed in politics in oklahoma is the fact that these types of elected officials can get away with it now. How? By surrounding themselves with people just like them.

Most Livable State Rankings 2004

Here is an interesting unbiased publication from the Morgan Quitno Press regarding the most livable states in 2004. Note that oklahoma comes in higher than expected at 40th.
Realistically, it is much worse than that, should be more like, 48 or 49. Nevertheless the stupid state of oklahoma has some respectable company at the bottom of the list, New Mexico, Louisiana, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, all garden spots for sure. Come on you stupid okies, wake up! Your state is a piece of crap and only you can make it better. By the way, the state I moved here from is rather close to the top of the lists.
The states are measured against 44 factors including crime rate, poverty, unemployment, income etc.

oklahoma Bigfoot

The Travel Channel first aired a program in 2002 about unexplained sightings of large, hairy, smelly creatures in Southeast oklahoma. The name of the show is "Bigfootville". Lots of interviews with local people who portray the typical Okie so well, dirty, stupid and toothless. You can also find very "factual" information about Bigfoot in oklahoma at this site too.
Big, hairy and smelly? I think the local residents are confusing each other for Bigfoot.

How to Describe oklahoma to People From Other States

Often I have found it difficult to explain what oklahoma is like to my friends back home. It is so hard to put into words what a pitiful place oklahoma is. Finally it occurred to me on a recent trip to Mexico how to explain. I was riding with my customer in his Chevrolet pickup and he apologized for the condition of the roads. "We don't have such smooth roads as you do in the United States." he said. I thought to myself, "you have obviously never been to oklahoma".
How to explain: oklahoma is to (insert your State name here) as Mexico is to the United States.
There you have it!

tulsa And oklahoma Budget Deficit

How can oklahoma and tulsa overcome their budget woes? I have the perfect solution. The Highway Patrol, Sheriff and City Police just need to start giving out traffic tickets. Tickets for speeding, running red lights, running stop signs, failing to yield and many other violations too numerous to mention. These people drive like stupid maniacs, it's a perfect opportunity for the state, city and county to cash in. Start writing tickets and they will have more money than they know what to do with! Oh wait, the city of tulsa, county of tulsa and state of oklahoma can't afford police officers. Damn, what a great idea that was.

What's Wrong with tulsa?

Now theres a tough question to answer. So many things wrong, it's hard to understand what. So here is a begining and only the begining to my opinion. Urban Tulsa has published their "Best of Tulsa" list. According to them and their readers, Oral Roberts won "Best Spiritual Leader" from the "Local Celebs" group. I find this quite interesting and disturbing at the same time. Why? Read this and this, and maybe it will shed some light. Don't get me wrong, I consider myself a Christian, not perfect of course, and certainly not a bible thumper so common in tulsa. But the fact that he has such a huge influence on this city and that he has so many supporters here even after all the heresy and outrageous claims he has made amazes me. How blind can people be? Evidently quite blind. Warnings about his type can be found in the bible:

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."

Matthew 7:15

"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not."

2 Peter 2:1-3

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."

1 John 4:1

We definately need people who are spiritual leaders. They show us the way when we lose sight of what is important. But please people, you can't just be lead by your noses by some self-proclaimed prophet. Open your eyes!

What's wrong with tulsa? Who do they follow?

oklahoma Quarter

WASHINGTON, DC — Hang on to any of the new State of oklahoma quarters. If you have them, they may be worth much more than 25 cents.

The U. S. Treasury announced today that it is recalling all of the oklahoma quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state. “We are recalling all the new oklahoma quarters that were recently issued,” Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Monday. This action is being taken after numerous reports that new quarters will not work in parking meters, tollbooths, vending machines, pay phones, or other coin-operated devices.

The quarters were issued in the order in which the various states joined the U. S. and have been a tremendous success among Coin collectors worldwide. “The problem lies in the unique design of the oklahoma quarter, which was created by both an OU graduate and an OSU graduate, Shackleford said. “Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices.

Okie drivers, the worst in the U.S.

I travel extensively with my present job and I have driven in most major U.S. cities. Places like New York NY, Boston MA, Providence RI, Atlanta GA, Charlotte NC, Philadelphia PA, Chicago IL, Los Angeles CA, San Diego CA, Portland OR and the list goes on. There is no doubt in my mind after driving in these cities that drivers in Okieland are the absolute worst. I'm not talking about the amount of traffic, aggresive or defensive drivers. I am talking about sheer stupidity behind the wheel. I've never seen such horible, terrible, lousy drivers in all my life. When I moved here 2 1/2 years ago from a neighboring state my auto insurance went through the roof. I asked my insurance agent, why? He gave me the excuse, "more people live here". Thats a pile of crap, people here drive like the fools they are! Drive here and you place your life at the mercy of some stupid Okie! BEWARE!

Okie Dialect, They Just Sound Stupid

Not so long ago I was in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. The people there have a nice Southern accent. It's pleasant to listen to. Okies on the other hand? I'm not sure what kind of accent they have, but instead of sounding pleasant, they just sound stupid (which of course they are).
This is kind of funny, but sadly true.

Transplanted Okies - The first Okie expression to creep into a transplanted Newcomer's vocabulary is the adjective "Big ol'", as in "big ol' truck" or "big ol' boy". Eighty-five percent begin their new Okie influenced dialect with this expression. One hundred percent are in denial about it.
WARNING: If you hear an Okie exclaim, "Hey, y'all, watch this!" stay out of his way. These are likely the last words he will ever say.
