NEWSFLASH!

The lottery offers bad odds, really bad odds of winning a prize.

I fear the Republic of Texas just might not survive such a scandalous revelation...

In other news, I see that the Texas Mega Millions Jackpot is up to $216 Million. Time to go buy a ticket!




Do any of our three readers remember who was the person who first said that the lottery was a tax on people who couldn't do math?

The Native Americans' problems have all been miraculously solved

and not a moment too soon...

Yup, in one fell swoop, alcoholism, unemployment, lack or economic opportunity... all these problems and more instantaneously disappeared after the University of Illinois Board of Trustees removed Chef Illiniwek as the symbol of the University of Illinois under pressure from the NCAA.


In other news, the NCAA still has absolutely no problem with the Florida State Seminole riding around on a horse, chucking spears....

Oklahomans Sweep Beauty Awards

What a week for Oklahoma!!!

First, Oklahoma resident Lauren Nelson continued the dominance of the state at the Miss America pageant. With the victory, Oklahoma has now won two Miss America pageants in a row.

But, more importantly, Oklahoma native Christopher Manning, was recently selected as Mr. U Club - Man of the Year - for the prestigious Washington, DC University Club. For those of you who are ignorant about the U-Club, here is a tidbit about this social bastion, taken from its website. "Elegance and history pervade the Club's atmosphere, typified by the fine oak paneling of the lobby, its Ionic columns, and expansive ceilings. To the left is a portrait of William Howard Taft, the Club's founding president in 1904." With Mr. Manning's election as Man of the Year, it is hoped that his portrait will now be found to the left of Mr. Taft's.

With these achievements, what more could the state of Oklahoma ask for? An Inhofe or Coburn successful campaign for President?
