Some items of note:

The state of Oklahoma celebrated its 100th anniversary on Friday. It became the 46th state in 1907.

The road between Oklahoma City and Colorado Springs is incredibly flat, and wide open. This is a big country, in case you didn’t know, and lots less cluttered when you leave the cities. Even the sky is bigger out here.

Michael Brown, the former head of FEMA, has returned home to Colorado, where he now hosts a 3-hour weekend talk show on Denver’s Newsradio 850 KOA.

On Saturday, his subject was Thanksgiving, and the PC police in Seattle who want the holiday to be treated as a time of “mourning.” Bonus fun fact: Brown’s grandfather, named Charlie Brown (no joke), was a Cherokee Indian.

So how is he as a radio host? I’d have to say Brownie did a “heck of a job.”

For next time: a visual pun!
