Congratulations to the Oklahoma Supreme Court which finally got around to disbarring former Creek County District Judge Donald Thompson.

His “dishonor”, Judge Thompson achieved world-wide fame as The Masturbating Judge who a jury found guilty of indecent exposure on allegations that he sat through trials, including murder cases, merrily pumping away on his penis pump, shaving his testicles and masturbating.

In late June 2006 jurors found Thompson guilty of these criminal acts, acts which took place during both murder trials and a civil case. In the most shocking instance jurors found that Thompson had used a penis pump during the tear-filled testimony of a man whose grandchild had been murdered.

Thompson was sentenced to four years in prison and fined $40,000 for his crimes. Crimes which he never admitted or for which he has not to this day accepted responsibility.

What is so surprising is that it took so long for the Oklahoma Supreme Court to decide that disbarment was justified in Thompson’s case.

With the Tulsa State Fair set to start tomorrow some might be looking forward to seeing the “big cats” of Great Cat Adventures, a company that displays leopards, tigers and other large cats at fairs all over the country.

If so, they are in for a disappointment as Tulsa State Fair officials have canceled the $11,000 contract with the company, supposedly in part because of a flurry of complaints.

This according to Mark Andrus, interim president and CEO of Expo Square, who inherited the job when Tulsa County Commissioners tossed Rick Bjorklund under the bus back in July.

And it was a fiasco.

On Monday morning the shiny new BOK Center hosted the Get Motivated Seminar featuring among its speakers General Colin Powell, Zig Ziglar, and Joe Montana.

In some media reports the attendance was reported at 16,000 while in others it was reported as 18,000.

In any case it was way too many if you were trying to get to work or conduct business in downtown Tulsa.

How bad was it?

Sally Bell has handed Tulsa County Commissioner Randi Miller an old fashion butt kickin’ in the Tulsa County District 2 County Commission Republican primary.

That Bell defeated Miller is no surprise although the margin of victory for Bell was pleasantly surprising.

Sally Bell received 81.4% of the vote to Miller’s 18.6%, leaving no doubt as to how displeased the voters of Tulsa County District 2 are with the scandal tainted Miller.

That Randi Miller brought about her own defeat with scandal after scandal is without question.

That Randi Miller was defeated by a member of the family that owned and operated Bell’s Amusement Park for 50 plus years is not only justice, it is Karma.

And Karma is something that Randi Miller simply does not understand…

Congratulations Sally Bell…

July 29th will be a big day for Woodward County Sheriff Leslie Morton, shown above, as it is primary election day and he is facing two opponents in the Democrat primary race for Sheriff of Woodward County.

Sheriff Morton may be a bit distracted on election day as that is also the scheduled date of his preliminary hearing on 20 counts of filing false, fictitious or fraudulent claims against the state and 9 counts of embezzlement.

Sheriff Morton’s problems date back to 2005 when it was alleged that he filed false or fraudulent travel reimbursement claims between 2003 and 2005.
