[ChannelOklahoma.com - News - Henry, Claunch Debate Lottery Merits]
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Gov. Brad Henry called his lottery proposal the "only game in town" to bail out education Thursday night, but a Republican lawmaker said he wouldn't risk children's futures on such an uncertain scheme.
The governor debated longtime Rep. Forrest Claunch just hours after the state House backed off making a decision on whether to send the issue to a vote of the people.

What is the matter with the people deciding? We get ignored anyway. Anyone remember the cock-fighting bill, or did that happen to long ago (last September). Make your votes, then if we do not like the way you vote, then we can vote you out. Or what are we really paying you people for anyway!
[ChannelOklahoma.com - News - AP Preference Poll Of Oklahoma Legislators] Ok fellow Okies, check how your represenatives represented you. Did they vote your way on the lottery. Mine did. Make sure if they did not, that you seek to vote against them next time.
United Press International: Jockstrip: The world as we know it
THINGS WE DON'T UNDERSTAND
Two Democratic state senators in New York want to make sure condoms join Bibles as regular features in hotels, motels and inns.
Last I knew the Gideons donated the Bibles and the hotels/motels choose to put them in. Who is paying for the condoms they want to put in. Sorry, the peoples tax money, mine if I lived in New York state, would be what pays for it. Or the hotel would have to charge more to provide these state mandated condoms. Either way, the people who do not want them are being forced to pay for the ones that do. I believe a war was fought over this, the quote I remember is "Taxation without representation is tyrany". Hopefully this is a bill that will not pass.

United Press International: Jockstrip: The world as we know it
A former Seton Hall University professor caught in a controversy over e-mail message she sent calling students "mental midgets," "immature" and "lying sacks of s--t" says her only regret was not quitting last September.
From that one quote you would think they were right in dropping her. But read the article, she was reacting to quotes made about her on a web page called myprofessorsucks.com. I think that both groups need a little growing up to do. I personaly as a student would not openly critique my instructors on such a web site, but I know how I would feel as a teacher if my name were there. The students were wrong, but so was she. My $.02 worth anyway.

Having worked 8 years in a college computer lab I have seen many similar ones to these.

Religious worker visa scam -- The Washington Times
No one knows. Tom Ridge, are you listening? It's going to take more than duct tape and plastic sheeting to fix this problem.

What is he talking about... a fake visa program that lets people get into the USA under the guise of being needed to fill religious openings in mosques (and other religious institutions as well). I think the program needs to be shut down till we can plug the hole.
