Its late. Those reading all of this can decide if this attached post is based in fact. I gave out the information and links that suggest the opposite.

Read Larkin's book. He was an academic, pure wonk, not a political stooge.

Read Larkin Warner's book. It shows that the message on MAPS for Kids was NOT pay for good school buildings and the schools would then succeed.

Imagine an event you hold in such high regard that you choose to litter the state with garbage ads promoting it (Tulsa).

Yep. I l earned the song This Land is Your Land. Loved it at age 5, love it today. In a family that identified with Lee Greenwood (yuck), I am solidly a Woody Guthrie fan.

Don't take out a 50-year mortgage. Or before you do, experiment first with a payday loan, a sub-prime car loan, or a Mafia loan shark.

The new Trader Joes on NW Expressway is far better than the Nichols Hills location. Better parking lot. More spacious store, wider aisles, far less chaos.

Today at walmart, I was criticized because I was wearing a mask. I started wearing masks again as COVID numbers. We're rising. I only wear it in places where I don't know who is in the area and there is a high risk of running into anti-vaxers and stupid people. Places like Walmart.

This will amuse those with a knowledge of oil and gas drilling. From the 1956 crime noir flick "A Houston Story." I promise, this is not AI.

Fyi Slavery was evil and the only real historic consensus supporting it was among the often sadistic rich slavemasters who ruined lives, broke up families, raped women and girls, and profited from human suffering. Teach your children, never let them be led to think otherwise.

Something I don't think Gannett does a good enough job with is promoting how much it provides to digital subscribers. It's far more than subscribing to The Oklahoman (and my work). You get bonus sections daily, and you get access to USA Today and Gannett newspapers from more than 40 states.

Finally, a chance to do something really cool with the old Irwin property along Film Row! Imagine the possibilities. It even has its own parking. Oh yea. A used car lot?

I am really enjoying the revived monthly publication of the Oklahoma Gazette. The last version was a mess dominated by marijuana, advertising and stories. This version comes pretty close to its original roots with a lot of local news, arts and music coverage. Sadly, no Doonesbury.

Flashback: Do I think this masthead was done intentionally? No. Do I think it's brilliant anyway? Absolutely. (Ok, I admit to wiping out some of the text on the hug part)
