The Gadfly All Over The Wall
Family Ties: Here's another McCarville Family business, this one a gas station/grocery store in Ireland. Nice to see the family engaged in a business that isn't a bar (historically, our preferred choice). State Budget: Thanks to federal simulus bucks, the budget cuts won't be as drastic as would have been necessary. Leaders say higher education's three percent increase should preclude tuition hikes. (Don't hold your breath.)
Cheney: Will someone please tell Dick Cheney to put a cork in it? Perhaps the former veep could take a clue from President Bush and keep his thoughts to himself.
Pelosi: Pick your cliche to describe her these days...deer in the headlights...lost in the woods.
Ryan Leonard: The Oklahoma City attorney is after the Republican nomination for attorney general and word is, he's hard at work talking to potential donors and supporters across the state. He was in Ada on Friday. He's the son of U. S. District Judge Tim Leonard, son-in-law of former Governor Frank Keating.
Wayman Tisdale: Expect an uplifting, inspirational movie about his life. Loved his basketball skills, admired his tenacity, enjoyed his music, and today, mourn his passing. DeWayne Beggs: The former Cleveland County Sheriff (1992-2008) died this week at age 65. Beggs began his law enforcement career after leading "DeWayne And The Beldettas," a rhythm and blues band that hit the Top 10 in the 1960s with its recording of "Tennessee Stud." It's A Tie: In Pauls Valley, voters contemplate the importance of every vote as the winner in a hot city council race will now be determined by a drawing since opponents Tim Gamble, the sitting mayor, and Kevin Stark tied at 321 votes each. The Verdict: This Sunday's guest on the Kent Meyers/Mick Cornett interview show is the U. S. Marshall for the Western District, Mike Roach. Coming up: 5/24/09, Legalization of Drugs Revisited with guests John Coyle, Oklahoma City attorney, and Mike McCarville, former talk show host, blogger, political pundit and investor; 5/31/09, Prosecutorial Misconduct with guests David Prater, Oklahoma County District Attorney, and Robert McCampbell, former U. S. Attorney for the Western District. The show airs on Cox Cable Channel 7 at 9 a.m. Sundays and repeats throughout the week.
