These are new licence plates for Oklahoma, where apparently the Koolade was drunk in vast quantities. I think I need to lie down.

Happy Gun Appreciation Day! Let's spend a little time to appreciate guns. Because this is the very first Gun Appreciation Day! I'm not sure why we've never had a Gun Appreciation Day before, but now that we have one let's celebrate with a review of the last month's interesting stories about guns…
I'm really proud of two of my old high school classmates who still live in New Orleans, Cory Morton and Hal Braden. Not only did they get in Sports Illustrated recently--they did so for a good cause. Here's the story: These guys are big basketball fans, and have season's tickets to see the New…

Just curious - when you buy that plate (I'm assuming you have to pay extra for it, it's not the standard one surely??), what does your money go to?

Why don't they use their own buiding that was blown up in Oklahoma City rather than the World Trade Center which has nothing to do with Oklahoma?

@Ericb

Because using the office building blown up by McVeigh &co. would mean recognizing that that was an act of terrorism. Don't you know? The only domestic terrorists that we have are eco-terrorists. Really, the only terrorists in the world are the ones with darker skins and funny names. People who bomb clinics or send anthrax-laced letters or stockpile poison gas aren't terrorists. No sir. Just unhappy people.

I'd also be curious on how people who buy that plate really feel about New York City.
