SNOW KIDDING

"We've gotten so much snow, it's starting to repeat itself -- I saw two snowflakes exactly alike!"

-- Melanie Klarman Fry on Facebook.

THE DELUSION CONTINUES

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi says Osama bin Laden is causing the revolution in Libya.

Gadhafi says al-Qaida is giving teenagers "hallucinogenic pills in their coffee with milk, like Nescafe."

I'm not making this up.

RE SIGN

McDonald's has a new breakfast item; it's oatmeal with fruit in it. But the changeable-letter sign-board at my local McDonald's reads:

NEW

FRUIT AND

OAT MEAL

Yup. Got yer fruit. Got yer oats. It's a meal.

THE SON ALSO RISES

In a 40 minute finger-wagging televised speech, Colonel Moammar Gadhafi's son, Seif al-Islam Gaddafi, blamed the Libyan revolution on:

• Islamists
• the media
• thugs
• drunks
• drug addicts
• Egyptians
• Tunisians
• Americans
• Europeans

Notably, Qadaffi did not blame:

• space aliens
• floride in the drinking water
• his father

(How do you spell Kadafi? Any way you want.)

THEY'RE NOT LIKE US, YOU KNOW

Who is a citizen of Oklahoma? 

Senate Bill 898, if passed, would finally settle that once and for all. To be a citizen of Oklahoma you would have to be born in the U.S.A. and have at least one parent who is a citizen. Non citizens of Oklahoma would not be allowed to own property in the state.

That means that some legitimate U.S. citizens would not be Oklahoma citizens or able to own property here.

State Senator Ralph Shorty, who is an Oklahoma citizen, says "We're not saying they (non-citizens) are less than human. What we're saying is they are not Americans and have no rights thereof."

Of course, this is all about Mexicans. Oklahomans like their Mexicans. They'd like them to be somewhere else.

READ ALL ABOUT IT

The Pentagon is declassifying the Pentagon Papers.

The papers are a record of America's secret history in Vietnam. They were stolen and published 40 years ago and have been widely available since. Still they were officially a secret all this time.

Today the Pentagon Papers, tomorrow the Wikileaks.

FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY

Arab-American demonstrators rallied in Bixby, Oklahoma.

They carried signs reading "Democracy for Egypt" and "Honk your horns."

They chanted "Freedom must come." 

The police did not shoot them or beat them. 

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak resigned. 

And everybody went home.

THOSE WACKY WEGISWATORS

A Maine legislator has introduced a bill to legalize switchblade knives for one-armed people.
