Title: Tulsa Chamber Endorsing And Funding Candidates

Interesting:

Blake Ewing was quoted in the world as saying he would donate his $1000 payola contribution to charity.

Interesting they grease all or both candidates in some of the district races.  Eddie Huff, one of the hosts at KFAQ, has come under fire from Jack Henderson for calling Henderson a "Rent-A-Negro".

FWIW, Huff is black.  Henderson calls him the worst sort of racist: one who is racist against his own race.  So it's been revealed: it's better for me to be racist against black people than white people.  Thanks for that clarification, councilor!  Did he not garner serious opposition this go 'round?  That's disappointing.

People are completely irrational when it comes to campaigns in oklahoma.  I guess thats why we have some of the leadership we have.  But according to some of you since Dewey is a CEO he should run for President.  I remember when Grizzle ran last time they said that his employer was "trying to buy a seat".  Despite his mounds and mounds of money he received from China...  He didn't get any from his employer I believe.

People can't recognize socialism when it smacks them in the face. The Chamber has long been a barbarian.

Tribal warlord: Conan!  What is good in life?

Conan the Barbarian: To kill your enemies!  To see them run before you!  To hear the lamentations of their women Chamber!
