Oklahoman Spoken Here

Come sit a spell. Grab yourself a coke or cup of coffee

We'll swap a few stories, tell a few jokes.

Will Rogers, "Cowboy Philosopher"

On The Politics. . . .

"Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously, and the politicians as a joke, when it used to be vice versa."

"It’s getting so if a man wants to stand well socially, he can’t afford to be seen with either the Democrats or the Republicans."

"Politics is the best show in America. I love animals and I love politicians and I love to watch both of 'em play either back home in their native state or after they have been captured and sent to the zoo or to Washington."

"As bad as we sometimes think our government is run, it is the best run I ever saw."

"We elect our Presidents, be they Republican or Democrat, then start daring 'em to make good."

"There is something about a Republican that you can only stand him just so long; and on the other hand, there is something about a Democrat that you can’t stand him quite that long."

"The more you read and observe about this Politics thing, you got to admit that each party is worse than the other. The one that's out always looks the best."
