Friendsgiving With TahlEquality

TahlEquality held its second Friendsgiving on Saturday, Nov. 30. There was some changes to the time and location from the Tahlequah Unitarian Church to the Tahlequah office of the Mental Wellness Center of Oklahoma. About two dozen people of the Tahlequah non-profit organization that is for the LGBTQIA community attended the event and brought aContinue reading “Friendsgiving With TahlEquality”

Happy Thanksgiving!

I want to wish each and everyone of you a very safe and Happy Thanksgiving. I have no plans for today but something later this weekend. I’m probably going to watch the parade and then Planes Trains and Automobiles. If you’re not a fan of football but want to watch something else, you can alwaysContinue reading “Happy Thanksgiving!”

All That ZAZ: Thanks For The Laughter, Jim Abrahams!

Some movies seemed to just come around at the right time. When Airplane! opened in the summer of 1980, the Irwin Allen-produced era of the disaster movies that dominated the 1970s had ended with the atrociously bad When Time Ran Out… and it seemed the movie could’ve been a parody that was a few yearsContinue reading “All That ZAZ: Thanks For The Laughter, Jim Abrahams!”

Sisters Aren’t Doin’ It For Themselves

The older I get the more and more I’m convinced women hate each other. Not all of them. Yet if there is any possibility of competition, they will find a way to one-up each other. But I’m going to suggest (not explain) why I think this happens. From the moment they’re born, little girls areContinue reading “Sisters Aren’t Doin’ It For Themselves”

The Fight That Was Slow-Streamed Around The World

Maybe if the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fight had occurred over the summer like it was originally scheduled, it might have seem more thrilling. But I felt like it was a dud. Also, coming as it does about 10 days after the election of Donald Trump, it seems to be really anti-climatic. There seems to beContinue reading “The Fight That Was Slow-Streamed Around The World”

A Great Day For Veterans

I want to wish all the military veterans out there a great day today. I won’t say “Happy Veterans Day” because some of them haven’t been too happy. The government for years seems to not treat them well. And it probably doesn’t help that the next Commander-In-Chief has called them “suckers” and “losers” and criticizedContinue reading “A Great Day For Veterans”

SkasdiCon Brings In Many

For the third consecutive year, SkasdiCon was held in Tahlequah on Saturday, Nov. 9. The event is like other comic-book conventions. However, this one has a focus on Indigenous Native American arts and culture as November is Native American Heritage Month. This year the event moved from the University Center Ballroom at the Tahlequah campusContinue reading “SkasdiCon Brings In Many”

Trump’s Election Proves There Is No God, Nor Has There Ever Been

If you believe God turned a blind eye to the massacre of young children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. or Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, but initially saved Donald Trump from an assassination, then you have a God who doesn’t love, but hates and wants people to suffer more. And nowContinue reading “Trump’s Election Proves There Is No God, Nor Has There Ever Been”

Hank Hill Wouldn’t Support Trump I Tell You What, As That Man Ain’t Right

When King of the Hill premiered in January 1997, Bill Clinton was about to be sworn in for a second time as President of the United States. The show made some jokes about Clinton, with Hank Hill locking his truck doors, when he sees he’s entered Hope, Ark., the former President’s birthplace. However, I don’tContinue reading “Hank Hill Wouldn’t Support Trump I Tell You What, As That Man Ain’t Right”
