An Obscure Local Blog No More: The Rise Of The (Quite Funny) Lost Ogle

Months ago, your editor described The Lost Ogle as "an obscure local blog."

No longer. This social commentary/humor site has had more non-blog press in recent months than all the other Oklahoma-based blogs put together. It's been featured in the Oklahoma Gazette and Oklahoma Magazine ("75 Great Oklahoma Websites") and discussed on other blogs.

Written by a trio of irreverent (but relevant) young men who find humor almost everywhere, and give it a twist the keeps me returning to it, The Lost Ogle is an exercise in commentary that's addictive.

For example: Recently, I noticed a local news anchor casting his eyes at his female co-anchor in a certain way and thought to myself, "That rascal." The Lost Ogle went way beyond that, posting a video of said anchor and his eyes and where they look during a newscast.

TLO is not a political blog; it has nothing to do with government. It is, however, fun to read and for a welcome change of pace from all things political and governmental, it's refreshing. ~ Mike McCarville
