FB, give me a hint what planet you are from. FOTD might know some of your old neighbors.....

I'm from Mars.

Are you from Uranus?

Tonite, while star-gazing through your telescope, bend over see if you can spot Uranus, if it's a clear night.

Can't miss it.  It's HUGE.

He won't need to bend over....

Think your homer cleared the 400' fence.

Actually, I only immigrated from Mars.

I was born in Ursa Major, of course.

I wish you'd return to whence you came...

I wish you were your namesake, Hoss Cartwright.

Wow, clever bear.  I didn't know bears had a sense of humor...

Wheee!!!!

State Rep. Randy Terrill, the author of Oklahoma's Anti-Illegal Immigrant Bill HB-1804, successfully fought off a well-funded opponent Tuesday, winning re-election with 75% of the vote.

Today's Lorton's World quotes Mr. Terrell, who noted that some top Oklahoma City business leaders gave his opponent the MAXIMUM $5,000 campaign contributions.

Here's the link:

Terrell lashed out at Aubrey McClendon, CEO Chesapeake Energy; Larry Nichols, CEO Devon Energy, and Bob Funk, head of Express Personnel Services.

Terrell said: "The voters had spoken against the Chesapeake-Devon-Express Personnel OLIGARCHY, giving Terrill 1 and them -0-."

The Lorton's World article goes on to mention that the referenced Oligarchy, plus Sonic CEO Clay "Pigeon" Bennett, a man who loves Oklahoma Tax-payer provided Corporate Welfare for Rich-Men's Sports Teams, also gave the maximum $5,000 to Representative Mike Reynold's opponent.

Maverick GOP State Rep. Reynolds was quoted as saying those business leaders don't support him because of his stance AGAINST providing legislative help (I.E. state taxpayer money) to bring professional basketball to OKC.

Clay "Pigeon" Bennett is married into the historical ruling Oligarchy of Oklahoma City:

The Gaylord Family.

Another Oklahoma Oligarchy?

Could they possibly be coordinating Ruling Family Strategy through the State Chamber?

[:O]

It's sad you are so clueless.

Bennett is not the CEO of Sonic; he is the major shareholder of the NBA team formerly known as the Sonics.  Outside of the NBA, he is the chairman of Dorchester Capital.

Details, details . . .

Who needs them when you can make up crap?

Poor FB.[}:)]

He's quickly become this forum's version of Ralph Nader.

Irrelevant.

Poor FB.[}:)]

He misstated Clay Bennett's title.

That makes his whole point moot, and this argument about government in bed with corporate greed doesn't need to happen! Woohoo!

Hooray collectivism!

That was his point?  He often has none . . . in this case he's on the right track, but he also shows that he doesn't know what he's talking about.

If you want to be a gadfly, you need to have your facts straight.

Otherwise you're Paul Tay . . .

or FB.

Poor FB.
