    Rather got her demoted?

    Then went on to claim forged documents as the Real McCoy in an attempt to sway the election to Kerry.

    VeeJay,

    That was Mike Nifong's plan all along. To show such careless disregard for the truth that he would be a candidate to be the next SEE-BS anchor.

    I was calling our company's VP of sales (in NYC) once and got his secretary. She was making small talk and asked "what do you guys do for fun in Oklahoma? Go to the beach?" I said "no, we don't have any nearby." She said "you ain't got no oceans in Oklahoma?" I responded, "No. You ain't got no globes in New York?"

    It is typical big city mentality though. I worked for a consulting firm out of college. I literally traveled the world and worked for some of the premium A-list companies you've ever heard of. I visited my old OU roommate in Chicago, when I was there on a business trip. We went out with his friends and one of them bragged about the fact that he was born in Chicago and in his entire life has never ventured more than 20 miles from the spot he was born. He then made several snide remarks through the evening about him being more worldly and cultured, me being from Oklahoma and all. I was like..."20 miles huh."

    Having just moved here from the north and having offered several people a job in Oklahoma with the move being paid for... the answer is a resounding YES! Out of the nine people that were offered, four made the move and the other five wouldn't even make the all expense paid visit. Not to mention that they were going to be making nearly $20k more and the cost of living is like 14% cheaper in Oklahoma. Not to mention that you get much more house for the money in Oklahoma that you do in most parts of the country. The wife and I just laughed at there stupid asses.

    Reasons & excuses we received were quite interesting:

    No ice fishing for the spouse
    Oklahoma is too flat
    No trees or vegetation
    Nothing to do there
    No main attractions for entertainment
    No decent restaurants and/or shopping
    Tornados
    Heat

    I can understand a few, but some of these people thought that Oklahomans were still using horse and buggies to get from point A to point B. Plus, they were semi-educated as well.

    Re: Connie Chung, what did she say

    That reminds me of my old roommate at the time. After the Chung fiasco he used to always say he had to go take a Connie and wipe his Chung.

    Absolutely. The worst thing you can ever do in the Northeast is ask for a Dr. Pepper or say, "Y'all." I did that in NYC when I was there 1997. Suddenly, I became a bigger tourist attraction than the Empire State Building, Broadway, and Times Square combined. They thought that I had to carry a six-shooter when I went to school just in case of an Indian raid.

    Until I made that trip to NYC, no one had ever told me that I had an accent. I found out then, especially when I'm tired, just how bad my accent is.

    Do you have any idea how many times in college I was asked in seriousness whether my family lived in an iglu or we used dogsled to get around?

    Sometimes I wish you had your very own country also. Not the South. I like a lot about the South. Just you.

    Re: Connie Chung, what did she say

    I was in Vegas 15 years ago and the other people at the blackjack table asked if we had bars and restaurants in Oklahoma and if coyotes ever steal small children like they had heard...seriously, they weren't kidding. Some think nothing has changed since The Grapes of Wrath.

    Re: Connie Chung, what did she say

    And back on topic, I think Connie asked the old OKC FD Chief (Jennifer Reynolds' ex) how he felt about finally having "competent" help after FEMA and other national groups came to OKC to help. He said OKC FD et al. were more than competent and Mrs. Povich actually repeated the "competent" word again.

    Re: Connie Chung, what did she say

    I can't remember the exact wording, but it was obvious at the time that she was really marginalizing the local effort and expressing disdain for the idea that OKC could respond to the tragedy. The comments were made at the very moment of the OCFD's finest hour, a moment in which they set a national standard for emergency/disaster response that is used as lesson material for emergency responders around the world to this day.

    The other thing that privately didn't set well with a lot of folks is that she refused to get out of her limousine except to do live shots.
    Well, crap.

    ".... few months later, in the wake of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, Chung asked a city official, “Can you people in Oklahoma handle something this big and disastrous?” Many Oklahomans responded in protest over the statement, which they viewed as patronizing, and Chung was let go as co-anchor of the CBS Evening News in response."

    Re: Connie Chung, what did she say

    I don't think that got the essence of the complaint. Read straight from the page, it seems like a pretty neutral statement. If I remember right, the tone in which it was uttered was not open to much interpretation.
    Well, crap.
