Fresh off another White House Coronavirus Task Force report that shows how poorly Oklahoma has handled the pandemic, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt announced yesterday with a semi-straight face that he’s creating something called “The Oklahoma Pandemic Center for Innovation & Excellence.”
Here’s the video announcement. I think it was produced by the same PR firm that helps North Korea with its propaganda:
Today I was proud to announce the Oklahoma Pandemic Center for Innovation & Excellence. This one of a kind center will make our state a global leader in promoting & preserving public health & allow us to detect, respond to & monitor global health pandemics right here in Oklahoma. pic.twitter.com/3VesAZqGyV

Yep, that’s right! The Governor who has brushed-off the pandemic since it’s onset – and routinely flaunted basic guidelines to prevent it’s spread – is now creating a Pandemic Center for Innovation & Excellence! Great stuff, huh? While he’s at it, he should also launch the Oklahoma Acadamy for Irony.
Seriously, WTF? I know this sounds like a swell idea and everything, but you’d think our state would be focusing on the little things first – like implementing a statewide mask mandate for public spaces and/or improved contact tracing – before jumping on this project. That’s what the future employees at this “Center For Excellence” would recommend, right?
Actually, I’m just joking around. We know Stitt wouldn’t focus on those “little things” because he doesn’t care about those little things. He just has to occasionally save a little face and make people think he’s actually doing something to address the pandemic (does the “Open Up And Recover Safely Plan” ring a bell) when we know he isn’t. This “Center for Innovation & Excellence” is a perfect front for that.
STITT: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAW! I reckon what’s a-missin’ in Oklahoma is some o’ that-there in-o-vation in combinationification with some good ol’ fashioned EX-cellence!
The way my eyeballs and my gigantic brain is a-seein’ it, if’n we could only figger out how to make that alleged COVID-19 virus, which ain’t nothin’ but an ordinary flu bug, into somethin’ in-o-vative, and also excellent (as Bill and Ted, them hippy boys, used to say!) well, then, by golly, people would leave New York City and Los Angeles and places like that and flock here in waves! And spend their tourist money here! And we wouldn’t make ’em wear no gol-durned masks, neither!
Sometimes my own genius amazes me. I’m like the Eddie van Halen of bein’ governor!
I have two words. You guessed it… “imagine that”.
Bullstitt is just helping out the Oilies. They had a building in the middle of nowhere they needed to generate some revenue so he sent them some bidness their way.
Top Ten! Sometimes the satire writes itself. What a maroon….
One prominent American said recently that his own COVID-19 infection has been “a blessing from God.” How long until all of us in Oklahoma are similarly blessed through “open up and recover safely”?
We don’t need no stinkin’ vaccines. Because “herd mentality” is the way of the future. Like with the Black Death and smallpox a while back.
You know, the gene editing technology known as “crispr”, whose developers just won Nobel Prize, has become so perfected, and the instruments and machines to do it so cheap, that it is now within the abilities of not only small nation states, or almost any university, but even some garage hacker types.
That’s going to lead to some real innovation right there.
Anybody want to lay bets on how long it’s gonna be before somebody who’s not even a state actor weaponizes covid, or a related virus? The blueprint for covid was immediately published, for the advancement of vaccine research. Does anybody doubt that there’s some Kaczynski type toiling away at his moment on his little project?
I’m going to buy one of those crsipr things, and figure out how to modify the brain cells of certain organisms who believe that it’s 1950, year after year after year, and we all have crew cuts and have to avoid the nigras and the Jews and what not, while pledging allegiance to a piece of fabric.
And update those brain cells to sometime in the 21st Century.
Wish me luck. I shall need it.
Hmmm, you’ve been thinking about this a lot. Is that you, Ted? 😁
Our president has already weaponized the virus using no technology at all. And he’s got some more events planned for this weekend!
Well, he’s a complete idiot and sociopath, that’s true. But the virus he’s helping spread around has killed around .1 per cent of the U.S. population. That’s a whole lot of heartbreak and sadness for a whole lot of people, but nothing like other plagues that have hit human populations over the ages. I’m just saying that no one should be surprised if other versions surface.
First what is it and what is it purpose or really do?
Second-the poor bastards forced into being filmed while reading words that basically said nothing all looked like they lost a bet and had to do this.
Third again the hell are they talking about and what will they do, where does the funding come from and why not, just for funsies, work on solving the issue with the current Covid 19 pandemic, and not redirect focus funds to “future pandemics”.
Fourth-I honestly thought at first this was a spoof on Parks and Recreations-but soon realized it was real and the people being spoofed are the citizens of Oklahoma-we get what we vote for.
Just more proof that these repubtards are the STUPIDEST creatures on the planet, but I guess that’s why the stupidest creatures on the planet elect them to public office!
Until somebody comes up with a notarized or something just as legal of these lying right wingnuts positive covid tests nobody should believe these pathological liars were ever infected! If that FAT ORANGE TRAITOR whose got to be the poster boy for obesity didn’t end up in ICU on a ventilator then I’m crying FOUL…bullstitt, frump, and that goofy governor from ohio are ALL lying and are just looking for redemption in their ignorance and incompetence in the handling of this virus!! If it’s true SHOW US THE PROOF!!
Stitt must really believe in his plan, cause he sure won’t bend.
Did BullStitt sell off the $2 million of hydroxychloroquine to fund this shit?
Yes he did. The landfill charged the State 500$.
If everyone isn’t already aware, Stitt and his cronies are just funneling money to his buddies and those rich families up in the northeastern part of Oklahoma.
If you really think about it from stttttttttts standpoint, why would you piss away a couple bucks on a mask when we can spend 15k a day on the ICU and 60 million dollars we don’t have on some fancy testing machinery he doesn’t want to use because “If you don’t test, there won’t be any COVID.”
Just keep buying more pot folks. sttttttttttt needs the tax dollars.
such a moron
He’s a great governor! He’s prudent and not panicking. We set a record for new daily COVID cases today, and in hospitalizations. If the libtards were in charge, we wouldn’t even have a chance to set records!!!
Give Oklahoma bears the right to arms!
Are we still “gonna be data driven”?
What’s with this fool. Everything he does looks and smells. We are headed the wrong direction in this COVID mess, he has basically pissed off all the tribes ands his running the government like a business is making a fucking mess of the government. They spend 30 million plus for a building downtown and you can’t even fit all the agencies in there. Not to mention the total waste of property they are just trashing.
FED UP!
