Say It Ain’t So

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

We can add “the voters” to the list of Brent Rinehart enemies that previously included “liberal good ol’ boys” and “homosexuals”. Either that or voting makes you gay in Rinehart’s book. I say this because Rinehart’s days as Oklahoma County’s district 2 commissioner are numbered after coming in a distant third (of three) in his primary challenge Tuesday night. Apparently his cartoon book was not as effective as he had hoped in rallying the electorate to his cause.

It seems that Brent may have seen this coming. His election watch party was held at a showing of The Dark Knight, which he attended with his “girlfriend.” This was the only way he could get anyone to show up.

This is a bittersweet moment for TheLostOgle.com. Sure, Rinehart is a biggoted moron who was able to draw a salary paid partially by our tax dollars. On the other hand, he provided the kind of material we dream about. So, we will be kind of sad to see him go.

Then again, maybe he doesn’t have to leave us completely. Look and see where Rinehart could continue his career path after the jump. (more…)

Meet Paul Folger

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Well, it looks like Channel 5 has decided to replace Tyler Suiters’ man boob with an apparent man boob. His name is Paul Folger and he comes to us from Jacksonville. There is no word yet on if he’ll get to keep Tyler Suiters’ old pager or be allowed to marry a reporter.

From his old bio at Fox30online (thank you Google cache).

Paul has lived in Germany and has traveled extensively throughout Europe. He’s also toured America using a Volkswagen Van as his home.

Paul is single and lives with his longhaired dachshund named Trey.

“I also play tennis. I’m not great, but I love to hit the ball. Oh yea, I’ll talk your ear off about cars and cooking. So don’t get me started.”

Judging from the bio and picture, Paul kind of seems like a strange guy…the type of strange guy that smoked way too much marijuana in college. I bet on his first day at KOCO, he swooped into the office in a cape and mask he bought during his extensive travels in Europe. He then probably replaced some of the pink decorative crystals on Mark Rodger’s desk with some of his own. When JiaoJiao Shen stopped by to admire Mark’s crystals, Paul jumped out from behind a fake Hobby Lobby ficus and said: “Ah ha! For I have secretly replaced Mark Rodger’s Crystals with Paul Folger’s Crystals. I am the Crystal Crusader! Hear me roar!” He probably did it to show them how cool he was. He probably videotaped it all, too.

Anyway, I guess Paul being hired is proof that God has a good sense of humor, because apparently the lucky bastard now gets to work with Maggie Carlo and Jessica Schambach each night. It could have been worse. Kevin Sims, Jordan Williams or Brent Skarky could have landed the job. That would have made me cry.

Don’t forget to vote, primary voters!

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Today is election day for over a million Oklahomans. Ironically, those of us who are superior to political parties are left out of the mess. Closed primaries take place today throughout the state.

A handful of elections around the metro area will end up deciding state house and senate seats. For those of you in Senate District 45, House District 91 and House District 54, the whole she-bang is up for grabs today. With only Republicans running — and no real difference among them but a minor variance in lack-of-leadership — in each of these districts, the metro area will post their first three elected embarrassments by seven. Good luck voting, and enjoy your cute little “I voted” sticker.

Worst of OKC: Worst Weatherman

Monday, July 28th, 2008

In Oklahoma, weather is a big deal. In fact, it is such a big deal that we are probably naming our NBA team after a loud sound that scares my dog. Neat, huh?

Anyway, since weather is such a colossally big deal, we also have some colossally bad weatherman. Vote for the worst after the jump.
