Even with large, looming cuts in federal spending, Oklahoma is poised to do well, U.S. Rep. Tom Cole said Friday.
Speaking at the Oklahoma Bankers Association 2011 Economic Forum at the Cox Convention Center, Cole, R-Moore, told a capacity crowd that the state - because of federal money earmarked for Native American tribes and defense installations - will do better than a good portion of the country, even when federal spending is reduced.

The state Court of Appeals' Western District still plans to hear arguments later this month about a ballot measure to scrap the Nonpartisan Court Plan - despite motions by both sides of the case.
A Cole County judge earlier upheld the state summary of the ballot measure's purpose and cost after opponents of scrapping the plan filed a court challenge. The wording of the measure to move Missouri to judicial elections statewide is now before the appeals court.

AS LONG AS it's singing, "De-Lovely" is delicious, delectable, delirious and deluxe. After all, any film that features some 30 Cole Porter songs has got to be something to sing about.

It is said in boxing circles that in order to progress, a fighter needs to learn something with each bout, perhaps facing adversity along the way. If that is the case, then Brooklyn Boxing Club's Earl "Mouse" Cole got quite an education this past Friday in our nation's capital, getting off the floor to beat fellow welterweight Willam Wilson of North Carolina in a close unanimous decision at the Washington, D.C. Armory.
The 18-year-old Cole's match was the evening's "walk-out" bout, which is what the boxing industry calls the final bout of the evening after the main event. In this particular case the headliner of this night's ESPN2 telecast was the electric matchup between light welterweights Darling Jimenez and Mike Anchondo, Jimenez winning by 3rd-round knockout.

COLE FRITZA IS A TYPICAL SEVENTH-GRADER. He plays lineman for Skyview Middle School, enjoys video games and rides his orange bicycle with abandon, with a triangular scrape on his nose to prove it.
And -- oh, yeah -- he plays football and rides with a prosthetic substitute for his left ankle and foot.

In the debate over the "threat" of Iran's nuclear weapons, one issue that isn't discussed, but should be, is the aftermath. If Seymour Hersh's latest article in The New Yorker is any indication of President [George W. Bush]'s true agenda for Iran, then the aftermath is the only issue of importance, because military strikes and regime change are foregone conclusions.
As American Enterprise Institute scholar Michael Rubin said on National Public Radio's "Talk Of The Nation" on Wednesday, a nuclear-armed Iran cannot be susceptible to external regime change while in the midst of an uprising. In other words, if an uprising were engineered, the U.S. couldn't militarily assist in the establishment of a prowestern regime and the Revolutionary Guards would crush the opposition with impunity. Her...
