		<description>Has anyone called Mary to task and other non-thinker and just repeat what Rush says republicans?  Just check the new business listings from Secretary of State and OK Tax Commission.  Most of those people are not the very wealthy.  They are the middle class who are establishing businesses and hiring people.

The very wealthy in OK are not hiring employers at the same rate as middle class owners.</description>

		<description>How about this BIG Number.

Autism,  1 out of 100 children will be diagnosed with autism. (new data)
that is 1 out of 38 boys.
that is approx 500 children each year in OK can be diagnosed with autism if they are lucky enough to have the financial resources to pay for diagnosis.

Another big number.  80% divorce rate in the autism community.
Another big number   5 times the bankrutcy rate in the autism community.

No insurance coverage in Ok.
All because of another big number  Republican State Legislators that stand in the way of helping children with special needs.

Another big, big number.
The cost of care if provided by the state taxpayers for each child as they reach adulthood.  Lifetime care is $ 3.25 million each.

500 x 3.25 million equals $1.625 Billion that the OK taxpayers will be on the hook each year if these children are denied health care to help them recover from autism and become contributing citizens.

Another big number   80% of these kids are under the age of 16.  The tidal wave is about to hit us.

		<title>Comment on Yellow-Bellied, Cowardly-Acting, Multi-Phobic Okies by jamesnimmo</title>

		<description>Sally Kern Descended from  Emperor Justinian?
 
 
 
With the latest proclamation from Oklahoma GOPer Rep. Sally Kern, she has finally revealed her true lineage:  she&#039;s not a christian at all, she&#039;s descended from several Roman emperors--Constantius, Valentian, Theodosius, and the most famous of all, Justinian the Great.  ( http://tinyurl.com/mq8d8y )
 
Justinian (JG for short), a christian of course, really got the ball rolling to advance the persecution of same-gender sexual activity in 6th century, when what passed for science was called philosophy and the earth was thought to be at the center of the solar system.
 
Just as Ms. Kern&#039;s proclamation declares &quot;this nation has become a world leader in promoting abortion, pornography, same sex marriage, sex trafficking, divorce, illegitimate births, child abuse, and many other forms of debauchery;  she&#039;s just fulfilling her empirical destiny.  JG declared in 538 AD that homosexual activity was immoral and lead to earthquakes, famines and pestilence.
 
JG also made it Roman (dba christian) law that homosexuality would be punished by torture, mutilation, and castration.  Plain stoning wasn&#039;t enough, I guess, to really put the stamp of disapproval on same-gender attraction.
 
As you can read from Ms. Kern&#039;s laundry list of sexual activities she&#039;s really hot-and-bothered about some of the things responsible adults do in private.  
 
Her proclamation goes on in part to blame the latest capitalist economic recession to be caused by immoral behavior:  we believe our economic woes are consequences of our greater national moral crisis.  She also said in a video on an Oklahoma City television station that her god will look after the checkbook if we humans will look after the morality.  ( http://tinyurl.com/m2haj8 )
 
Yet she fails to show the connection between her private confusion of mind in regard to legal, private adult  activities and the workings of the international economic markets.  Can it really be true that major world financial centers aren&#039;t listening to Ms. Kern&#039;s advice? 
 
Well, if listening is what she needs in order to get along with her life and perhaps find out why her 32-year old son isn&#039;t married and gives his sexuality to his god ( http://tinyurl.com/39kpsq ) she&#039;s given us an opportunity to hear her on Thursday, July 2, noon, at the Oklahoma Capitol Building, NW 23rd and Lincoln, Oklahoma City.  You can join her and others to help sign her historical document or you can join an alternative event, same time, same place, sponsored by the ACLU of Oklahoma ( http://tinyurl.com/ma4p6b ) 
 
You can read the proclamation and some other background on the spurious quotes it uses at http://tinyurl.com/laoa3a .</description>

		<description>&quot;program&quot; was probably the wrong choice of words ... should have used &quot;plug-in&quot; ... One cannot just &quot;copy and paste&quot; and have a video embeded on a website or blog.  I noticed on your right-wing, anti-Obama site (http://obamastantimes.com/) you have no videos.</description>
