A U.S. court in Oklahoma has blocked the national "do not call" list that would allow consumers to stop most unwanted telephone sales calls, the Direct Marketing Association said on Wednesday.

Oklahoma??
Oklahoma?

I thought only California had weirdo federal courts. What's going on?

Oklahoma is telemarketer heaven; lots of them are based there due to the central location, lack of "good" jobs, and the fact that the locals are Midwestern (no "accent").

California has its share of weirdoes because most originated in Oklahoma during the 1930s when some Okies had to leave because of the depression and the drought. But I am wondering where some of these new Oklahoma judges have come from. The people in Oklahoma voted to ban cock-fighting and one judge overturned the vote. How's that for stupid?
