JC Watts's district is practically owned by one defence contractor. Part of the industrial military rightwing complex. They make bombs I think. It would be interesting to know how much they paid him. Watts is OK but he's definitely been paid for.

Oklahoma has the worst senator in the nation, Imhoff, a guy who says global warming is a hoax. But fortunately John Edwards is extremely popular in Oklahoma so there's hope for that state yet.

Time for the poor bastard cousin of Texas to wake up and declare its independence. But money talks. That bomb factory in Watt's district for instance.
