In a doff of the hat to correct English and a President who speaks with coherence, I offer the opposite of the typical drinking game. It should be fairly easy to identify several jingoistic Bushisms that will not escape the lips of Obama during his inauguration address, allowing the teetotalers among us the opportunity not to imbibe.

Just one of the benefits of the new Administration is BO's ability to speak without his audience wincing and flinching. A President who does not have to explain things simply, merely due to the fact that that is the way it was presented to him.

Let's say goodbye and hello in the comment section by listing words and phrases Obama will not use in his Inauguration Address.

Oklahoma did not vote for change. Indeed, no other state gave a wider endorsement for more of the same than Oklahoma. Our entire D.C. delegation is Republican, including the fake Democrat, Dan Boren. In light of this, and President-Elect Obama's recent announcement of the largest public works project since the creation of the interstate system, will the desires of Oklahoman voters be respected?

In this last election, Oklahomans gave a full-throated endorsement of the conservative agenda--lower taxes, smaller Government and the avoidance of foreign entanglements (well, one out of three is acceptable, if you are a Republican). Should the wishes of Oklahomans come into play when the new President sends money to the states for infrastructure? There's more...

I applaud President-Elect Barack Obama's call for bipartisanship. On numerous occasions during his campaign he pointed out we are not blue states and red states, but the United States of America. Indeed, it should be pointed out that President-Elect Obama utilized core conservative principles as the very foundation of his campaign. Things like lower taxes, which Obama pledged for 95 percent of working families. This sounds suspiciously conservative to me. And his pledge toward rebuilding a strong national defense, as well as avoiding foreign entanglements, tacking even further to the right by declaring some disentanglement's as well. Lest he forget, a majority of Americans have run shrieking in horror from the fluently incompetent and possibly criminal behavior from the leaders of the remaining 20 percent peopling the "center right."

On Tuesday, October 7 at 5:15 pm Andrew Rice squares off in a debate with incumbent senator James Inhofe. The debate will take place in Tulsa and will be carried by local teevee station KJRH-2 and streaming it on their website here. The teevee station is welcoming questions citizens would like the candidates to answer at their website located here.

What kind of questions should Inhofe answer?

In todays bumper sticker campaign sloganeering, our incumbent and challenger for United States Senator for Oklahoma have chosen their theme's. It seems Oklahoma Republican Senator James Inhofe is claiming victimhood of being a Hollywood target, and Democratic challenger Andrew Rice is claiming Inhofe has "gone Washington."

I find it odd that an incumbent with far superior name recognition, a vastly superior campaign warchest stuffed full of oil money can whine effectively about being a victim. We remember Mickey Edwards campaign, full of whine and pathetic pleas for help. It didn't save his job because a public servant works for us, not the other way around.

Certainly Al Gore receiving an Emmy for his "Inconvenient Truth" brings into focus Hollywood due to Inhofe's staunch ridicule of climate change, and perhaps he needs to point westward to deflect attention away from his support of those benefiting from high gas prices and the Republican reign of an economy in DEFCON 2.

Representative Mark Foley's resignation in disgrace over allegations of improper sexual advances towards little boys once again bring the familiar refrain; it's Bill Clinton's fault. The party of personal responsibility and family values are neither. The opportunity exists, for those of us in the netroots, to cast aside one such double standard hypocritical rightard running for the open seat of Oklahoma's 5th congressional district. Mary Fallin, long insulated in her cocoon of Rethuglican cohorts, feels she can step out of the shadows of her long twelve year stint as Lt. Governor, the demanding daily task requires every morning to ask, "How is the Governor feeling today?" Sure, her good buddy Governor Frank Keating threw her projects to make her political bones. But someone else may have been "boning" Fallin. Read More

The National Security Agency provided a list of "talking points" about the warrantless eavesdropping program on Americans in America to Senate intelligence agency chair, Pat Roberts (R-Kan) that somehow ended up on the pages of WaPo. The one that caught my eye, was the one that admitted guilt.

"Current law is not agile enough to handle the threat posed by sophisticated international terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda"

So instead of following the law, that is not "agile enough" (72 hour retro-warrants are waaay too slow) they chose to ignore the law. Which is a polite way of saying they are engaged in criminal activity, and their own talking points point that out. Can somebody get a judge on the phone?

Millions of Latinos and their supporters flooded the streets recently showing opposition to republican legislation making illegal immigrants felons. Sporadic protests continue, coupled with the heated camel creation (a horse built in committee) debate in congress, treating Americans to another brilliant civics lesson. The issue has driven a wedge between the law and order branch and the cheap and abundant labor business interests of the republican party. The law and order branch wants them deported because illegal means illegal. The cheap and abundant labor business interests wants the illegal immigrants to stay because they are narcotically hooked to high profits.The wedge on the democratic side is between, primarily, unions and civil rights activists. Unions fear the decline of wages in the workforce and civil rights activists protest against the exploitation and creation of a permanent underclass. Read More
