Bowing at the Altar of Football

I am not a typical guy in the sense that my life does not revolve around sports. I love high school sports (and other activities), and we try to attend some of our alma mater’s each year. I even enjoyed OSU sports when I was a student and staffer there. However, I can’t tell [...]

I Hate It When They Do That

I always wonder what some executive somewhere is thinking when they make certain decisions.
I had a relationship in the past, the only good aspect which came of was I discovered the Chicken Balsamico at Johnny Corrino’s. I just happened to be in T-Town today, so I stopped in with a hankering for their specialty.
After re-reading [...]

Some Animals Are More Equal than Others

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
–George Orwell, Animal Farm

Congress has this week added homosexuality to the list of protected classes in hate crimes legislation. My beef is not so much that homosexuals were added but that hate crimes legislation exists at all.
Just as in Orwell’s Animal Farm, we have [...]

OSU Regents Unqualified?

One of the stories to come out recently is tangential to the eminent domain case at OSU. As you may know, OSU (my alma mater) has decided to create an “Athletic Village” by using the power of the state forcibly to require citizens to sell their property to the State. There have been a few problems [...]

Claremore Commies?

Ok, Jeane, her parents, and I ate lunch Friday at one of our favorite Claremore haunts, El Azteca. It was great as usual.
As we stood at the counter to pay, however, we witnessed something I still cannot believe. There were a group of high school students wearing red t-shirts (Claremore Zebras are red and white [...]

More on the tuition mess…

The Claremore Progress has a story regarding the sharp raise in tuition costs at Oklahoma colleges and universities since tuition-setting power was ceded by the Legislature to the Regents. As I have previously noted, this is a huge problem. The Legislature voted last session to take that power back, but Gov. Henry vetoed it.
Of particular [...]

It’s Just a Game

Good grief folks. I know it’s Oklahoma. I know it’s football season. I know officials make bad calls. I grew up watching a lot of football games from the bandstand and playing and watching a lot of basketball games (and other sports) in high school. I know, I know, I know. But we have to [...]

Is It Just Me?

Okay, I need some opinions. Is it just me or would the rest of you out in WynnBlogLand agree with my concern here?
I am in Tulsa this afternoon, driving on 244/412 East toward the I-44 merge, then on to the Will Rogers Turnpike to Claremore. As I am driving at approximately 5:45 PM (running late [...]

Oklahoma Higher Ed Gets Big Fat F

When I was little, there was one consequence for bringing home an F. It was called a whippin’. And not just for report cards either. One assignment. My parents knew an F was below my abilities, so they did not tolerate them. In fact, there were dire consequences for Bs, Cs, and Ds, too, because [...]

Federal Court Slaps Down IRS!

It’s nice to see the IRS kept at bay once in a while. And it’s good to see the federal courts recognize that Congress does have some restrictions to its power of taxation.
Relevant exerpt:
The Sixteenth Amendment simply does not authorize the Congress to tax as “incomes” every sort of revenue a taxpayer may receive. As the [...]
