15. I have relatives in Tulsa...... |
|
My paternal Grandmother went there to die...
My Aunt, married to a thoroughly sleazy scumbag (Subprime Vulture), has lived in Tulsa since 1965
I have an Uncle, a thoroughly closeted Gay Man, living in Tulsa and a staunch Republican....
I wish you well.......

I do think it is good to stay and fight.

16. It is so sad...we did try. |

I cried because of that fact this morning.
I am in Mexico at the moment, and every guest at my party last night asked what was wrong with people in Oklahoma... :(

I can't say it enough. We beat Utah and McCain's own state. Oklahoma is now the reddest state. I was born here but I'm a Yankee at heart.

32. That's what ticks me off the most. |
|
Oklahoma is near or at the bottom of nearly every one of those lists. We have crappy roads, high divorce rates, high teenage pregnancy, and lousy 3.2 beer.

34. Be thankful you don't live in Mississippi, West Virgina |
|
or Arkansas. They pretty much rank 1-2-3 on the list of everything bad. I go to a gym in Wheeling WV you wouldn't believe the locker room this morning you could hear a pair of socks drop, I mean nobody talking about anything not even WVU it was like a funeral home.
