Okie judge gets stiff sentence
By SHAUN SCHAFER
The Associated Press
BRISTOW, Okla. —
A former judge could be sentenced to four years in prison after being convicted of exposing himself by using a sex gadget while he presided over trials.
Read all about it from the Cushing Daily Citizen.
Read more about the penis-pumping judge.
Neither Oklahoma nor any other red state has anything approaching a "moral high ground." What a mess.

The whole thing is so absurd. I feel sorry for his family but I do not like their reaction to the witnesses. It's not surprising though, that they can't accept the truth about what he did.
I hear the judge was pumped about visiting some of the same guys he sentenced to that jail. I wonder if he'll squeeze anything out before he's all done. I'm wondering if while on the bench, he didn't realize what it really meant to bang the gavel. I guess his ego isn't the only swollen thing affected by all this. I mean, will he be allowed to carry the device with him, or will he have to masterbate like all the other inmates?
Every morning, the judge, uh, got up, then went to the closet and wondered: "Do I wear that robe or disrobe?"
Ar! Ar!
Ar! Ar!
Does the title of your post mean that we can now call people from Oklahoma, Okies?

OK, I get it...
Okie = dumb a**
I thought it was just short for Oklahoman... like Tex is for a Texan...
Never equated Okie and dumb a**

We've had this discussion before here.
See the etymology of "Okie" by googling Okie and Wikipedia. It can be, but is not always, a derogatory term, depending on who says it and the context.
I commented awhile back that I stopped calling myself an "Okie" after the Murrah Building bombing in OKC, for the same reason that Oklahomans started adopting the term "Okie" as a "badge of honor" or whatever, as in you can't keep us down.
I've no complaints about innocuous usage of the nickname, or its deliberate usage to indicate stupidity. Sort of like a black rapper calling an idiot cohort a stupid "nigga."

I have to disagree with the blog host on this one. Maybe I just never saw it used negatively, so that's a reason. My dad's an Okie, born and raised in northwest Oklahoma.
Will Rogers was a celebrated Okie.
I lived in Oklahoma eight years, and I was an Okie transplant. Maybe 'twas ER's from too close to Arkansas, where Arky is definitely negative. But since the song "Okie from Muskogee," I'm not so sure the rest of the country's seen it as negative.
In my mind, saying I'm an Okie is just a hell of a lot easier than saying I'm an Oklahoman. Two syllables compared to four.
'Sides, Vince and Reba once said something about being from the "right side of Red River" and "Okie City" in the same song, so maybe it's just engrained in my mind that it's not bad.
Or maybe I just don't take to heart that kind of stuff like ER does, and that's fine, too. BTW, ER, if you're from Fort Smith or Little Rock or Fayetteville, you are an Arkansan. Don't ever forget it.

"Maybe I just never saw it used negatively"
in california in the 1930's, "okie" was most certainly meant in a derrogatory fashion.

California, 1930s.
Hmmmm ... I don't know much about California history. I was born in Kansas in the 1960s, and I've never heard Okie as a derrogatory term.
I've got Okie pourin' through my bloodlines, and I still don't see it as bad.

And, I was born in Fort Smith, 'cause that's where the nearest hospital was. I was an Arky for about a day. Besides that, I don't consider "Arky" an insult!
Woooo, pig! Soooooiiiieeeeee!
Hadn'ta been for out-of-state tuition, I'da been a actual Razorback!
I confess to divide loyalties. I love Texas, too.

Dear Teditor:
Please read John Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath." Your Oklahoma training is sorely lacking if you don't understand "Okie" as a derogatory term.
Dewey Bartlett, Oklahoma's first Republican governor, tried his best to change the perception of "Okie" by handing out "Okie" pins and declaring that "Oklahoma is OK!"
Yeah... we're "OK." Not great, but just... "OK."
The campaign didn't go that well in the 1960s. Memories of the migration during the Dust Bowl were still too strong.

Dearest Trix,
Until I do another job, I shall not read Steinbeck's anything. Or any book, for that matter. Sorry.
So my education's lacking. Ain't the first time. :-)
But I can tell you what some perceive as a health concern regarding confined animal feeding operations in Nodaway County, Mo. I can tell you that said county is in dire need of a fairgrounds. I can tell you that the president of Northwest Missouri State University likes to throw his weight around.
Besides, Trix, I ain't nearly as old as you. :-)
Oh, and ER, I guess Arky was a term we reserved further south, because we used it regularly for those "idiots" who couldn't drive, who went to school on the Arkansas side of the state line of Texarkana, etc.
