When Cometh the Governor?

C. W. McBlackville — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 14:13:10 +0000

With the stock markets roiling and money to loan drying up, there’s no doubt that the economy, barring something unforeseen, will be the issue as Campaign 2008 moves forward. As for Oklahoma, with energy prices falling, it’s just natural to assume that the Wall Street doings will soon affect Oklahoma’s main streets. The first casualty may [...]

Pimps and Polls on KFOR

C. W. McBlackville — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:40:38 +0000

Oh, yes, we believe the Channel 4 poll because they continue to demonstrate such high ethical and journalistic standards. NOT!!! Just days after a Democrat chatboard outed the now-discredited Flashpoint duo for hosting a fundraiser for a politician they had unethically pimped on their show. We have the real evidence. (Click here) Here’s a comment from one of [...]

OkiePolitics Gets It ALL Wrong! Inhofe 56/Rice 34

C. W. McBlackville — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 14:24:43 +0000

One of the unique aspects of the internet that we love is its capacity to allow every knucklehead with a computer (present company included) the ability to share their OPINIONS with a large audience. Oftentimes bloggers are right and ahead of the curve, at other times, we don’t have a damn clue! Two recent posts [...]

We Interrupt This Disaster To Bring You A LIE!

C. W. McBlackville — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 14:59:31 +0000

Cable’s worst network, MSNBC, the official network of the Democrat National Committee, went Category 5 stupid yesterday when Dan Abrams interrupted the coverage of Gustav Monday afternoon just as the levees were being over-topped to advance a lie. Abrams breathlessly repeated an erroneous Associated Press story that indicated McCain’s Vice Presidential Nominee Gov. Sarah Palin had [...]

Gustavian Political Lessons

C. W. McBlackville — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 03:05:15 +0000

As predicted, the political news cycle changed remarkably in the last 72 hours as Hurricane Gustav slammed into the Gulf Coast. Besides the potential for devastation to the Gulf Coast, the aftermath of the hurricane threatens to radically impact the presidential election, including altering the energy markets. Undoubtedly, there will be shameless exploitation, including unjustified price run-ups (which started [...]

Kudos to Casey

C. W. McBlackville — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:45:43 +0000

Gary Casey is challenging a Henry favorite, Senator Tom Adelson. The Tulsa Beacon clearly makes the contrast between conservative candidate and liberal incumbent. “I believe life begins at conception,” Casey said. “I believe this position can be defended scientifically far more effectively than the pro-abortion position that life begins at birth.” “I believe that the state of [...]

Quote of the Day: J.D. Johnston’s ‘Firm Grasp of the Obvious’

C. W. McBlackville — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 03:33:27 +0000

J. D. proclaimed,”He got more votes than me, so he deserves the job.” From all of us at OKPNS, we’re really gonna miss this guy.

Johnston Wins….Not So Much!

C. W. McBlackville — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 02:56:12 +0000

Soon to be ex-Republican J.D. Johnston performed better than expected in the Republican runoff election for Oklahoma County Commissioner District 2 tonight. The ex-mayor who sold his political soul and lost a fortune to idiot campaign consultants got nearly 30% of the vote, silencing the critics who thought J.D. would get only 1%. Final tally: Brian Maughan 71%, the “geniuses” 29%. Who [...]

KFOR Slaps J.D. Too!

C. W. McBlackville — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 16:36:44 +0000

On the day of the run-off, sources tell OKPNS that the hapless J.D. Johnston County Commissioner campaign received a huge blow recently when KFOR television refused to run J.D. Johnston ads because they bordered on being “libelous.” It was a major blow to the Johnston campaign, who were apparently counting on the huge Olympic audience to lobby [...]
