Last night, AG Gentner dropped a divebomb on the Oklahoma media when he announced State Rep. Ty Burns – a military veteran, former sheriff’s deputy, and the prototype for every controlling, abusive-father movie villain ever created – had pled guilty to three misdemeanor domestic abuse and assault charges stemming from “family situations” involving his wife, their kids, and other relatives.

He will receive no jail time and instead be sent to something they really call "batterer counseling."

Earlier this week, word came out that Steven Harpe – a long-serving lieutenant in Stitt’s inner circle of ineptitude – will be stepping down as Executive Director of the Department of Corrections to apparently cause damage in the private sector.

The Oklahoman had the news:

Well, I think we know why the WWE Secretary of Education lady dodged Ryan Walters like a lazy suplex.

On the road trip back from Fort Worth—still nursing the kind of stomachache only Pancho’s Mexican Buffet can give—I started thinking about Oklahoma City’s own ill-fated, imposter version of the chain.

The SW 29th Street (fake) Pancho’s never quite made it, though around Christmastime last year, it did save my holiday tamale hunt with a merciful drive-thru dozen.

Not long after, the lights went out for good.

Over the past couple of months, there have been cries from the small, liberal, anti-Trump establishment of the OKC echo chamber questioning why Congresswoman Stephanie Bice hasn’t held any in-person town halls.

I can see why.

It’s a great day to be a woman in Oklahoma! Or, well… maybe not.

Although things haven’t improved since that article was published, they might be getting slightly better.

Way back in 2013, I submitted my first-ever restaurant review for The Lost Ogle.

It was a long, almost endless piece that paid glorious tribute to the Pancho's Mexican Buffet on I-240 and Penn, and its endless supply of cheese enchiladas, chile rellenos, flautas, and all the other Tex-Mex standards that were all only one flag raise away.

I know one thing that won’t be getting its kicks on Classen Blvd. anytime soon!

Late last week, the Oklahoma City Arts Commission voted against a proposal to build a Route 66 public art monument featuring a giant pair of red, neon-lit cowboy boots on Classen Blvd. in the heart of the Asian District, just down the street from the Gold Dome and Milk Bottle buildings.

Now that he’s finished handing every Thunder player, staffer, and groupie their own championship keys to the city, OKC Mayor David “McSelfie” Holt has found a new way to get himself noticed and invited onto the cable news circuit – declaring his wokeness via a "guest essay" in the NY Times!

Yep, that’s right. Mayor McSelfie – a life-long Republican – has gone full McWokie, and instead of demonizing and degenerating diversity like GOP politicians are supposed to do, he’s actually embracing it!

Outside of my absolute love of taco trucks and cult films, if there’s one thing that I am really into, it’s got to be records and, to be sure, record stores.

While I have written about almost every shop in the Oklahoma City/Tulsa area, every time I go on a real vacation, small road trip, or aimless Sunday drive, I always have to soak in a new one, and discover all the rarities, regional pressings, and bargain-bin oddities they have to offer.
