<em>Whirled</em> blurs Kathy Taylor responsibility for Great Plains settlement
I had hoped for some changes with the change of ownership. Today's Tulsa World story on the mayoral election and Kathy Taylor's Great Plains airlines settlement has undermined that hope. One positive change -- the pictures make all of the candidates look bad, not just the disfavored candidate. One...
Gary Jones for Auditor: A critical race
While I encourage you to vote straight Republican in Oklahoma -- in every race I've looked at, the Republican is the best choice -- there are a few races where I want to underline, bold, and otherwise call attention to my endorsement, because the stakes are so high and the...

Murphy reminded voters about Roth's cozy relationship with the head of a major energy company regulated by the OCC. Jim Roth is a desperate, frightened man. As almost half of...
<em>Whirled</em> covers campaign dirt
I guess they got impatient for the candidates to start slinging mud at each other, so the Tulsa Whirled launched the first salvo. Although there have been whispers and talk among supporters of the candidates, so far we haven't had mudslinging robocalls or attack ads coming from the campaigns. This...

Beef Baloney
In one of my first entries, I lamented the decline of locally produced television.

Tonight's episode was all about politics....
