Oklahoma: Redder Than an Angry John McCain

POSTED BY: Dylan Ris

While voters in the socialist hotbeds of Vermont and Indiana were out painting the streets with Obama pride last Tuesday night, residents of a more pro-American state sat sullenly at home, muttering at a late-night re-run of The 700 Club.

Yes, it appears that Oklahoma missed the memo that we were all supposed to elect Barack Obama last week, as evidenced by the fact that all 77 of its counties voted resoundingly for John McCain...

McCain got 65.6 percent of the vote in Oklahoma, the highest state percentage for him in the country, even though Democrats hold an edge in voter registration by about 300,000.

The senator from Arizona swept all 77 counties, repeating President Bush's feat four years ago against Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.). No Democrat has won a presidential race here since Lyndon B. Johnson's landslide in 1964.

The entire state got into the voting-Republican-in-vain action, including...

* 62% of Cleveland County, which includes the University of Oklahoma. (Even in Kansas, Wyoming and Idaho, the big college counties vote Democratic. Not here.)

* 58% of Oklahoma County, despite the fact that all three Flaming Lips live there.

* 70% of "The Little Dixie" region of southeast Oklahoma, where GOP Sen. James Inhofe claims to have developed his highly successful platform of "guns, God and gays."

* 87% of the Oklahoma panhandle, free from the sway of those gay hippies back in Stillwater.

So let the record be clear: On Election Day, no one was more pro-America than the good people of Oklahoma.

And if the other 49 states have a problem with that, they can move to Canada.

LAST COMMENT:

let the Okies hang on to their guns and eat bullets when they are hungry, and don't go begging 'uncle Sam' for 'spreading the wealth' when they loose their jobs. They don't need money, all they need is God. God will be happy to see them all.

Obama Stimulus Plan in Effect

POSTED BY: Ethan Ris


Barack Obama had only been President-Elect for all of eight hours and his economic stimulus package was already working its magic... at least in the newspaper industry.

For years, newspaper sales had been plummeting all around the country. It seemed that today's news consumers simply preferred getting the latest information from newfangled media sources like TV and brilliant, cutting-edge websites.

But all of that changed Wednesday morning when America woke up after Obama's historic victory and decided to revive a dying industry. They snapped up every copy of the newspaper in sight, causing the following to happen...

* The Washington Post printed an additional 700,000 copies over Wednesday and Thursday in order to meet demand that had thousands of people lined up outside of their headquarters.

* Bidding on EBay skyrocketed to $590 for a copy of Wednesday's New York Times. (The crossword puzzle had been left intact, making it especially valuable.)

* Even the Daily Oklahoman, dubbed "the worst newspaper in America" by the Columbia Journalism Review, and previously best known for its infamous "You Have Cancer" series, sold out.

* A man in Bellingham, Washington bought 10,000 copies of the Bellingham Herald in the hopes of selling them to finance his retirement.

Meanwhile in Detroit, seeking to cash in on the election-fueled economic burst, desperate automakers announced plans to ramp up production of the Obamamobile.
