In Noble, there are two donut shops to choose from: Donuts Palace and Gourmet Donuts. While Donuts Palace has an extensive roster of professional donuts, Gourmet Donuts, 203 Main St., has something that regal Palace doesn’t have: fried rice and hamburgers. It made for an easy choice… I stopped by Gourmet Donuts around lunchtime and […]

Oklahoma City is losing another historical landmark. Last week, local building watchdog Steve Lackmeyer reported that the Biltmore Hotel – a wretched hive of scum and villainy along Reno and Meridian – is set to be demolished. At one point in its early history, the hotel was a place to see and be seen for […]

First they came for the wine and good beer. Now they want the strong stuff, too!

According to an article in The Journal Record, Walmart and Friends are mobilizing a big-money push to allow hard liquor sales in Oklahoma grocery stores, gas stations, drug stores, etc.

Sure, it was only Summer League--and Utah Summer League for that matter--but it was one of the most enjoyable basketball games I have ever watched.

The young Thunder core, headlined by four lottery picks from the past two drafts, just annihilated a team of players trying to prove they deserved NBA contracts. While four-time Rookie of the Month Josh Giddey certainly ran the show, it was Chet Holmgren being the figurative "straw that stirs the drink."

It was a masterful performance by the freshly signed 7'1" rookie. The stat line of 23 points, seven rebounds and six blocks somehow understated the impact he had on the game. Chetty Spaghetti had an effect on every play of the game. He set the Summer League record for blocks in a game, but every shot the Jazz team took was still altered, if only mentally, because of Holmgren's presence in the arena.

Then on offense, he did things humans of his stature should be incapable of doing. Multiple times, he stopped on a dime with a behind-the-back dribble and calmly splashed a long three-point shot, a move made famous by Stephen Curry.

On an isolation play, he converted an off-foot step-back shot from the corner of the lane that I had only seen two players attempt before (Dirk Nowitzki and Kevin Durant). All of this focused the attention of the defense on him whenever he was on the floor, yet he still slipped past their notice for a couple of uncontested dunks.

The excitement throughout Thunder Twitter was palpable that night and the weeks following as Chet provided monster performance after monster performance through summer leagues in Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, and a Pro-Am tournament hosted by former Sixth-Man-of-the-Year Jamal Crawford.

It was at the Pro-Am that our story shifts from comedy to tragedy.

I'm always down for a good Twitter joke, so I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw the following tweet from Kevin Ogle while doom-scrolling through one of my burner accounts.

I should note, I saw the tweet on a burner account because Kevin Ogle – Lord of The Ogle Citadel and Keeper of the Sacred Family Runestones – blocked us on Twitter years ago.

As I'm sure you know, President Biden announced a plan yesterday that would clear $10,000 in student loan debt to those unfortunate enough to make less than $125,000 in annual income.

Just like with everything else the President does, the move was heavily criticized by those on the tribal numbskull right. That includes one of their greatest unintellectual minds – Markwayne Mullin.

Even though his family's company Mullin Plumbing – The Red Rooter! – eagerly accepted $988,700 in taxpayer-backed PPP loans that were eventually forgiven by the US government, the future Junior Senator from Oklahoma didn't approve of the President helping out some of our country's citizens who are over-burdened by student loan debt.

It’s the second season of Reservation Dogs, the critically lauded series by Sterlin Harjo that shows it’s truly a good day to be Indigenous!

Like last year, I will recap the show for those that don’t have FX or Hulu, giving the basics and not spoiling anything too much for anyone until they hit DVD, or you bum a friend’s password.

Pop the champagne and toot the trumpets and trombones! It was a great night to be a conservative public school grifter in Oklahoma!

I don't know when that picture was taken or who else is in it, but once again – it's nice to see the Stitt-Walters Bromance bloom!

Yesterday, about 10% or so of Oklahoma's residents participated in the statewide runoff election. There weren't any super surprising results, but I thought it would still be topical and prudent to share some of my observations.

Here we go!
