• Alan asks Oklahoma State Sen. Steve Russell why he believes that Obama’s speech to schoolchildren is “something you’d expect to see in North Korea or in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.”


• More Americans are overweight than ever before, so why does anti-fat rhetoric seem nastier than ever? Alan discusses this weighty issue with National Action Against Obesity founder MeMe Roth.


• It’s the Friday Night Free-For-All!

  1. Oh, Oklahoma, what a surprise, the one state in the country where every single county went red last election.

  2. I’m going to go way out on a limb here and say that Sen. Steve Russell is a Republican and a conservative.

    Just a hunch…

  3. Well, anything I’d expect to see in North Korea, or Saddam’s Iraq, I would DEFINITELY expect to see in Oklahoma, or the mid-west, or the south, because people there apparently don’t have a clue what it means to be an American.

    And as for the fatties, hey, if you’re a big fat pig it’s nobody’s damn business but your own.

    Inwhat area of the country do you live Rocky? You continually bash the south, and now the mid-west. I am assuming you live on the left coast. Maybe somewhere around San Francisco.

  4. It should come as no surprise that Oklahoma is one of the fatter states in the union. It looks like OK was tied with Arkansas for #8 in 2008 …

    It also appears to me the “fat” states are mostly red (Republican) while the states at the more “fit” end of the scale are mostly blue (Democratic).

    Which makes perfect sense to me.
