Maybe Legal Marijuana Would Help!
Read in local paper:
Someone wrote how they were watching a news program about the state of California, letting people grow and sell marijuana. Said the state collects millions of dollars in revenue from it, and was wondering why they can't do it in Oklahoma. Said it may help the economy.
Our Reply: If the state of Oklahoma legalized the sale of weed it would look something like this: 1 plant @ 2pounds = $5000 - state tax due $225 - county tax due $100 - city tax due $150. Look at all that tax for 1 plant - $475. How many plants do we have in McCurtain County?
*The attorney at, Attorneys-R-Us, said for us to post this:
This blog in no way supports the legalization of marijuana or the use of marijuana or the sale of marijuana or the growing of marijuana or the blah blah blah blah blah.
Nothing but streets and bars in Idabel
Read in McCurtain Gazette - Call the Editor
I am a 17 year-old girl, and I have nothing to do in this town but run the streets or go to bars. I do promise you I can get into any bar here. I wonder about my two little sisters. What will happen to them by the time they want to go out on the weekends? It's scary to me about kids in this town. They closed the swimming pool, and we have to be rich to go to the movies. Bring back the drive-ins, get a YMCA, get a boys and girls club. Do something.
They closed the swimming pool..... Wouldn't it be closed right now even if it was open? You know, since it's winter.
You have to be rich to go to the movies.... Your not rich enough for a $3.00 movie matinee but you can afford to go to a bar?
Bring back the drive-ins.... Umm..wouldn't the drive in be classified under movies...that you have to be rich to go to?
Get a YMCA.....Get a J O B!
Get a boys and girls club....does the boys and girls club in Broken Bow count as a boys and girls club?
Do something....like go to church and get involved in a youth group instead of running the streets.. like spend time with two sisters playing board games instead of spending time in bars.. like studying to get into a college to get a degree, so that one day you will be smart enough to fix all that's wrong with Idabel and your two sisters can be proud and say "We want to be just like our big sister when we grow up".
Do something like that?
Or
Do something.... like you grown ups need to do something to fix this while my seventeen year old whining butt runs the streets and goes to bars so my two sisters can say "We want to be just like our big sister when we grow up".
Which Do something do you mean?

Obama and Inhofe Honeymoon Over
Politico : It was a love affair that could never be, President Barrack Obama and congressional republicans.
“It lasted about two days,” quipped Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), when asked if the honeymoon was over.
Why so soon?
Because, he said, conservatives are just “not receptive” to Obama’s agenda.
Yet even Inhofe, a true-believing conservative who represents a state in which Obama lost every county, is unwilling to take after his former colleague.
“He is very likable, he presented himself very well, and he seemed to want to be inclusive,” Inhofe said in a brief interview following Obama’s meeting. “But if the product is anything like we think it’s going to be, it’s not one that is going to be sellable to conservatives.”

For House Repubicans, Zero is the Loneliest Number
WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a swift victory for President Barack Obama, the Democratic-controlled House approved a historically huge $819 billion stimulus bill Wednesday night with spending increases and tax cuts at the heart of the young administration's plan to revive a badly ailing economy. The vote was 244-188, with Republicans unanimous in opposition despite Obama's frequent pleas for bipartisan support.
FiveThirtyEight has a good post up on this...almost as good as the comments.
GAWD! I love politics! Nothing better to get your blood pumping first thing in the morning.

Counting to 4
We're just sitting here counting to 4.
We count 1..2..3..4 of us.
That's 1..2..3..4 votes...4 votes!
4 votes that could be used to help other bloggers.
Other bloggers..like say..those up against a certain woman.
Or maybe a blogger that really really wants to win.
Or maybe a blogger that has been nominated for two catagories and only really needs to win one..you know, like maybe.. the Best Political and not the Best Commentary.
Or maybe a blogger that would never make other bloggers feel guilty for not voting for her.
Or a blog (that we nominated) that also has four votes that they could use to help other bloggers.
We count 1..2..3..4 votes here.
4 votes just waiting to be used to help some bloggers who could help other bloggers with a vote .
Not that we're asking anyone to use their 1 vote on us 4.
We're just sitting here counting to 4!
1..2..3..4 counting our votes some more

The Iceman Cometh & The Girls Goeth

Here are some things to keep you busy till we thaw out.. or get bailed out.
Collinskid We love this blog book. It's just getting started but we're already hooked on the story.
Life's Moments has some interesting facts posted - like there are 336 dimples on a regulation golf ball....which is funny cause that's the same amount of dimples we got on our butts.
And did you know the average person falls asleep in seven minutes....3 seconds if it's your husband right after s-e-x.
And Tu Tu's got her two cent's going on.. and a GIVE AWAY!
We have no idea why we send people her way. The damn woman has 94 followers!.. 94!
When we first read her blog she had 6!.. 6!
We like to think we made her what she is today. That's why we don't even have 20 followers..we were too damn busy helping Tu Tu get 94 followers!.. at least it makes us feel better to think that's the reason WE don't have 94 followers.
BUT we was nominated for a Okie Blog Award!

American Idol - Mark Mudd
We seem to always end up in the 'Commentary Blog Category' in magazines, links, and nominations. So I'm gonna commentary on this American Idol Mark Mudd thing.
This guy, Mark Mudd, from Coxs Creek Kentucky, was on American Idol last night.
You knew as soon as you saw him.. not gonna make it.
But he tried.. and he wasn't bad.
As the guy was leaving, he said.. 'Take care and be careful'.
And Paula said: Be Careful?
Mark: Yea, be careful in whatever you do.
Paula: What?
Mark: I'm just saying be careful in whatever you do.
Simon: That was a threat.
Paula: And that's a threat.
Mark: No, I'm just saying just be careful you know in whatever
Paula: You don't say that to people. You don't say that to people be careful. That's just not, that's just not a normal thing to say.
What! Is she serious? You don't say that to people! That's not a normal thing to say!
And Simon! Is he serious? That's a threat! Saying be careful is a threat!
I could understand if the guy had said 'You better take care and be careful when you leave here cause I'm gonna kick your ass!'
But the poor guy simple said 'Take care and be careful'
Dear Best Commentary Blog Nominees,
Take Care and Be Careful in whatever you do.
Love, The Idabel Girls

Fair Pay? Oklahoma votes Nay!
We've overcome a big hurdle in the fight for fair pay. The House passed both the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act (HR 11) and the Paycheck Fairness Act (HR12) on January 9, and today the Senate voted to advance the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, a key bill in the fight against pay discrimination. The motion passed by a vote of 72-23. The next step is a debate, followed by a vote on the bill itself. Unfortunately, during the debate, opponents of the bill may try to weaken it with unnecessary amendments.
Please take a minute to call your Senators and urge them to pass the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act as it stands.
How did your Senators vote?
Oklahoma: Coburn (R-OK) Nay - Inhofe (R-OK) Nay
If your Senator voted YES:
Call the Capitol at 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to your Senator's office. Tell the person who answers the phone in your Senator's office that you're a constituent who wants to thank the Senator for voting in support of moving the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act forward and you hope the Senator will support the bill without amendments.
If your Senator voted NO:
Call the Capitol at 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to your Senator's office. Tell the person who answers the phone in your Senator's office that you're a constituent who is disappointed that the Senator voted against moving the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act forward, and you urge the Senator to reconsider his/her opposition to the bill.

It's a fun day... when your 9 year old daughter asks you to sit beside her on the floor, listen to 70's songs and do nothing else.Take some time today and have a fun day.

PMS? PMDD? or just PO'd?
Read in McCurtain Gazette:
*A man said he returned home after his girlfriend had been sentenced to prison Friday, only to find her mother destroying his home. He said the woman threw a piece of a dresser at him when he asked what she was doing. When an officer arrived, he found an end table in a tree, a chair on a car and many other items of furniture outside the home in the yard. The man's puppy was also missing from the home, he said. Malicious injury to property and burglary complaints were made against the 46-year-old Idabel woman. The damage was estimated at $1,400.
*Two domestic abuse in the presence of a minor child complaints were made against a 19-year-old woman after she assaulted her mother and another man, the fight stemming from the way a pot roast had been cooked. The suspect said her mother could not cook and after a short argument, pushed her mother and threw a soda on her. When another man tried to restrain the woman and calm her down, she swung at him.

PMS?
*A 24-year-old Idabel woman is facing charges after spitting and scratching several police officers while being arrested. The officer pulled the woman over after he had to swerve to avoid being hit by her car. As the officer was talking to to the driver, another car pulled up and three women got out. One of the women in the group said she was the owner of the car. As the officer was talking to the woman he noticed a group of seven women approaching him from behind. The group of seven women formed around the 24 year old woman when police told her she was under arrest. Before the officers could get to the patrol car and put the suspect inside, the group of women ran over and got between the officers and the patrol car. After the officers got the women to move they put the suspect in the patrol car. On the way to the jail, the suspect cursed and spit at the officer. Once inside the jail the woman spit on the face of one office and scratched the face of another before being placed in the restraint chair.*A 41-yr-old Idabel woman was arrested for robbing 3 convenience stores. The woman was tasered in the buttocks after becoming aggressive with officers. She was arrested on two counts of robbery by force or fear and an outstanding warrant
* A Garvin woman was arrested for assaulting her husband. The victim said he tried to wake the woman up for church and after she said she wasn't going, she began hitting him. She then followed him out the front door while threatening to kill him with a pistol. She then hit him in the head with a can opener. Deputies arrested the woman, who said the man had been hateful to her after she said she wasn't going to church.
* Officers were called to a domestic disturbance south of Broken Bow. The woman said her boyfriend came home drunk and she told him to stop drinking. When she tried to pour out his beer, he head-butted her, so she scratched his arm. The man said the woman tore off his necklace and began choking him. He showed officers marks consistent with the claim.

Tune Tuesday
Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight
For my OKC friends! Joy, Jane, Ellen, Lisa, Kathy, Sandy, Gena! Miss you!
All Four One! And One Four All!
On our quest to find the best blogs to nominate for the "Okie Blog Awards" (we only have 468 blogs left to read) here are a few of the blogs that we all four can agree on liking.
Here they are: (no jen your not listed here, but your getting nomination)
Moms Are For Everyone http://emeryjo.blogspot.com/
The Crib Chick http://cribchick.blogspot.com/
Straight Shooter http://shootinstraight.blogspot.com/
A Shrewdness of Apes http://shrewdnessofapes.blogspot.com/
Dear Okie,
We just want you to know, this has not been easy. There's four of us and we don't always agree....hell we never agree. We should not have to just pick one blog for each category. We should be allowed to pick four blogs for each category.
*A blogger can only nominate one blog per category.*
A blogger...A blogger is one..we are four.
Not one damn joke about how our four brains make one good brain!

Our Two Cents
Tu Tu's Bliss Tu Tu has something new set up. It's called free two cents. Today's two cents is on Plastic Surgery.
I would love it if you would share some free Two Cents. Give it or get it on everything from love to money and all the stuff in between. I would love your two cents on plastic surgery.
Our Two Cents:
NAIW- I'm not for it. I just have a problem with the thought of something being put in a body that's not suppose to be there...when it's just for looks.
WTRW- Had the boobies done after the kids sucked em' dry.
BAAW- I'm not for it. There's just too much put on how people look today. When 16 year old girls are wanting boob jobs there's something wrong in the world.
If Belle was here she'd say: Hell yes! I'll get plastic surgery. Who's buying?

What happen the year you were born?
babyboomers 1946 - 1964
Some Highlights of the year we were born.
MAJOR EVENTS:
John F. Kennedy elected President in narrow contest over Richard Nixon (Our first Catholic President elected)
Soviet Union shoots down an American U-2 reconnaissance airplane over Soviet airspace and captures pilot Gary Powers, forcing U.S. to admit to aerial spying
Black students stage a sit-in at a lunch counter in Greensboro, NC to protest segregated seating at the establishment; the event inspires a wave of such sit-ins across the South (Just think, in 10 days we'll have a Black family movin' into the Whitehouse and eatin' off of $493,000 worth of china....we've come a long way baby!)
Belgian Congo wins independence
U.S., Britain, France and the Soviet Union conduct summit talks, but without results
U.S. relations with Cuba deteriorate as Castro regime seizes U.S. assets
EVERYDAY LIFE:
The number of television sets in the U.S. reaches 85 million, nearly one set for every two Americans (about 219 million today)
First "Teflon" non-sticking cookware goes on sale at Macy's in New York
First oral contraceptives made available to the public (That was a close one. If that would've got here sooner..we might not be here!)

Goodbye Joe the Plumber!
Hello Joe the War Correspondent!
Seems Joe will be going to Israel to cover the Gaza War for Pajamas TV.
He wants to let Israel's "'Average Joes' share their story."
All we can say to that is.. GOODBYE JOE!
