    In reply to Tina Brown Gives Up on the New Yorker Crowd
    Tulsa elected Jim Inhofe as its mayor. Tulsa's district has elected Inhofe and supported him strongly through the years. And if Okies beg to differ it means jack shit until they kick Inhofe out of office. Andrew Rice (a good man who lost a brother in the WTC on 9/11 who opposes the war in Iraq and supports progressive politics) got 30% of the vote. The strongest progressive poltician the state has ever seen got thirty percent of the vote against Inhofe, a batshit-loco member of a party that got it's ass kicked in the rest of the country.


    This means 60% of the electorate are hillbilly dickwad supporters of Inhofe -- a man who got his BA from Tulsa University WHEN HE WAS 38, AFTER serving seven years in the state Senate representin' the good peoples of Tulsa, Okalhoma. They love Inhhofe in Tulsa.


    So as far as I"m concerned, most Oklahomans deserve to compete with the other hillbilly states for being at the bottom of the cultural food chain. If they don't like it, change. Nut in most cases, as with me, they simply flee that shithole state and never look back. (Including Woody Guthrie, by the way, who also fled. And Anthony Shadid fled. And Anthony Wright fled. And Tracy Letts fled. Everyone flees except the meth-smoking, alcky divorcees and a small handful of progressive holdouts, many of whom are stuck there.

    The state meal sounds like my Christmas dinner, served in courses, of course, with the correct silver.

    In Tulsa -- perhaps, only in Tulsa -- Tina Brown is still considered au courant.

    @Rupert Pupkin: BOOKER T. WASHINGTON SCHOOL COLORS!


    Um, yeah. I went there. Magnet school. One of the best high schools in the country, according to 'Newsweek.'


    My favorite part was getting fucked up and sunning myself on the tennis court.


    I would have hated the tools in the picture.

    Yes! My state of birth makes it to Gawker. As a former resident, I can testify to that meal; all it's missing is the 3.2% beer.

    @blix: Not to worry, no one in Oklahoma drinks diet pop. No matter what the legislature says, the official drink is Dr. Pepper. Also, "the" local paper would more properly be the Tulsa World, not whatever this thing is.

    @DesireeRadass: Plus Tula is home to Oral Roberts University, which looks like one Saddam Hussein's palaces. It's very classy that way. Taking one of those Jesus-freak tours of ORU is the highlight of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
