Why are we doing this?  Two women, one young, one not-so-young, miraculously found each other and realized that they may just think a little differently than the rest of Oklahoma.  After a particularly grueling day of stupidity and questionable logic, both women decided that the stuff they were witnessing and hearing was actually hilarious.  Thus, "Left in Oklahoma" was born.
Disclaimer:#1: We make no apology for making people laugh, making people angry and we are especially proud of perhaps making people think. 
Disclaimer #2:  We're bloggers, for heaven's sake, not policy makers.  This is for fun.  It's not meant to be taken as gospel truth (more on that later).  Laugh with us.
Disclaimer #3:  If you want to post hateful stuff we won't read it.  We won't give haters more energy than they already sap from us every day.  We will, however, read comments that are witty, insightful and cool.  We may even reply.
  Welcome to "Left in Oklahoma."  We're glad you're here.  God knows we need more of us out there, 'cause right now there aren't enough of us to successfully tip a cow.

  Here's something that made me scratch my head and then see if I could find a job in Portland, Ore.   
  Many of you know that we have some questionable "representatives" in our state and, tragically, in national government.  One of the strangest nutters with a little power is Sally Kern.  Ms. Kern resides in Oklahoma City, but her brain is in a jar in NeverLand.  Unfortunately, her mouth is in the State House.
  So, Ms. Kern (who I honestly thought was either dead or at least muzzled since her debacle several years ago), suddenly pops up with several bills to present to our legislators.  Bill #1:  Businesses would be free to discriminate against gay patrons.  Bill #2:  Parents would be welcome to place their gay children in conversion therapy.  Bill #3:  State funds would be prohibited from going to agencies that support gay marriage.
  Ignore the fact that Ms. Kern looks like the first Bride of Frankenstein--you know, the one Dr. Frankenstein threw out in favor of the second Bride of Frankenstein--it's what comes out of her mouth that is the REALLY scary thing. 
  Now, all of the above isn't really all that funny.  It's tragic, wrong-headed, blatantly homophobic and completely ridiculous.  Where it got just too funny was when a reporter asked our GOVERNOR, The Righteous Mary Fallin, what she thought of Ms. Kern's bills.  "Well," says Ms. Mary, "I never comment on things like that, "  (WHAT????) "but I want you to know that last night I went out to dinner with (wait for it............) TWO OF MY GAY FRIENDS." 
  I'll bet Ms. Mary has best friends who are black, too.
