Don’t let that nice picture fool you! Lost Ogle sources have confirmed that Oklahoma House Speaker (and Idea List Maker ) Lance Cargill eats puppies in his spare time, and when nobody is looking, dumps their carcasses near some abandoned warehouse in Southeast Oklahoma City!
Actually, to be perfectly honest, our “sources” really haven’t really confirmed this story at all. It’s just something that we made up because the Daily Oklahoman published a “not so good” article regarding Cargill this past weekend. Here is the first sentence of the article:
Oklahoma House Speaker Lance Cargill was delinquent in paying property taxes on his Harrah law office six years in a row, an investigation by The Oklahoman revealed.
Yeah…when the Daily Oklahoman starts launching “investigations” into Republican House Speakers, you know that there has to be something bigger and badder going on than some dude just trying to avoid forgetting to paying taxes. Maybe he messes up Ed Kelley’s hair whenever they meet, or maybe he believes in global warming, but I’m starting to think the state’s newspaper doesn’t like him.
And in other Lance Cargill news, his “100 Ideas book” will be available on Tuesday. There has been no word yet if any of our ideas made the final list ( at least idea #3485 made the website), but some probably should have. There’s also been no word on if an idea about “forgetting” to pay your taxes made the list, either.

Well, here are our last ten ideas for the Oklahoma Ideas Initiative. Overall, some of our ideas have been good, some have been bad, some have made no sense. To see all of them, check out our 100 Ideas Category.
10. Three words: EMPEROR GARY ENGLAND.
This is probably the best idea on the list. If you doubt it, just check out Gary’s online resume over at NewsOK.com. There you will learn that Gary:
• Was named Best Television Personality by the Oklahoma Gazette in 2001
• Was named One of the Outstanding Young Men of America, 1976 by something called Jaycees
• Was featured on Spiegel TV News (German Television) in 1999
• Is an expert witness in lawsuits involving weather
• Appeared in Living Magazine in 1978
Geeze. If stuff like that doesn’t convince you that Lord Gary should be emperor of Oklahoma or Oklahoma City or even Warr Acres, then you are a sad sad person. Or you are just Mike Morgan.

20. Have Maggie Carlo fight Amy McRee in a bikini oil wrestling match on pay-per-view.
We know that Amy McRee looks good in a bikini. And we are pretty sure that Maggie Carlo would look good in a bikini. But we are 100% sure that Amy McRee and Maggie Carlo would look amazing in a bikini oil wrestling brawl. This idea must be added to the book.

30. Force all Hobby Lobby employees to go to church on Sunday.
A few weeks ago I went to Hobby Lobby on a Sunday.* They were closed so that their employees could enjoy a day of rest or faith or something with their family. Whatever, I bet that a bunch of Hobby Lobby employees-especially those from the frame department-were getting drunk and stoned on Saturday night. If these employees are going to get a free pass on Sunday, they should at least go to church.
* Despite going to Hobby Lobby on a Sunday, I am still proudly a heterosexual.

40. Require that a comb, new set of clothes and list of “tornado survival talking points” be included in every public and private tornado shelter, helping ensure that tornado victims will be properly prepared to deal with the media.
This would help solve the image problem that our state suffers from whenever a tornado plows through one of our towns or farms or trailer parks. It would also set us apart from Kansas.

Here’s a quick review of what we are doing. Last January, State Speaker Lance Cargill created some weird thing called the Oklahoma 100 Ideas Initiative. Here’s how it was described:
The 100 Ideas initiative will change the way business is done at the State Capitol. Instead of legislation originating from lobbyists, special interests and government employees, this initiative seeks ideas from the private sector and from citizens across the great state of Oklahoma. Once the initiative is complete, the top 100 ideas will be published in a book and presented to the Oklahoma State Legislature.
Since we are citizens from the “great state of Oklahoma,” we decide to contribute our own 100 ideas for the initiative. But since we’re pretty sure that Speaker Cargill and his friends won’t put any of them in his book, we figured it would be better to share them here over the next few weeks.
P.S.- Please note that unlike our Top 100 Oklahoma Embarrassments, our 100 contributions are not “ranked” in any way. And if you have any ideas that you would like to see on our list, send us an email. We may include it!

60. Name the BC Clark Christmas Jingle as the state’s official song of Christmas.

70. Give Tyler Suiters his own nightly opinion piece called, “I don’t give a shit.”
Kelly’s got his two cents. Kevin has a rant. Tyler? We get the feeling he really doesn’t give a shit about anything. And we want to hear why!
