Osage County feeling pinch of administration's anti-fossil fuel mindset by The Oklahoman Editorial Board Published: July 5, 2015 REGULATION of energy production has long been the province of state governments, but under the Obama administration there’s been a concerted push to transfer more power to the federal government. To view the decidedly negative outcome of such a transition, look no further than Osage County, Oklahoma. Osage County is unique because members of the Osage tribe hold mineral rights under a federal treaty. Tribal shareholders are paid a percentage of the revenue from oil and gas production on the county’s 1.4...

Former Sen. Tom Coburn served in the United States House of Representatives from 1995-2001, and in the U.S. Senate from 2005 to January 2015. When U.S. Sen. Dr. Tom Coburn left Washington, D.C., in January, he didn’t look back with longing or regrets. He retired with two years left on his term in Congress to return home to Muskogee, his wife, Carolyn, and his career as a family medical doctor. Regret is a word seldom spoken in Coburn’s vocabulary. He’s an informed straight shooter when he talks about the nation’s Capitol and his time spent there, astutely observing the political...

Straight Talk from Senator Knox Dangerous Tools March 15, 2015 What’s the most dangerous thing you will do today? You will drive your car. Today I drove about 150 miles on two lane highways. Multiple times I came within a few feet of a head on collision with another vehicle, traveling at relative combined speeds of well over 120 miles per hour. A car is a tool, an object used to help us accomplish a given purpose. Why do we use such a dangerous tool that puts us so often, so close to certain death? We consider the risk worth...

Pat Venditte, the ambidextrous pitcher for the Oakland Athletics, was throwing in the bullpen during spring training recently and, as always, threw the same number of pitches right-handed as left-handed. After watching that session, Oakland manager Bob Melvin said, "He wears No. 74, but I swear, when I looked down at [the bullpen] a second time, he was wearing No. 47."
