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?

Manning - Congratulations on your election!

I think that CY wants to become a member of the U-Club.

Dear Anonymous -

I would join the U-Club if it meant Manning would hang out with me more.
