‘Call me Chaos’
The Secretary of Defense does his own laundry at the Pentagon, and as for carrying his own luggage: “I have two hands, don’t I?”

Chuck Norris wasn’t born in Texas, but pretty close
Norris was born in Ryan, Okla., 10 miles north of the Texas border. Ryan is in Jefferson County, in south central Oklahoma. The county seat is Waurika. Jefferson County’s 2010 population was 6,472, a 5% decline from 2000. Since the state’s first census in 1910, Jefferson County has shown an increase in population two times. The largest population was 17,664 in 1920.
Ryan’s population was 816 by the 2010 census, a decline of 78 from the 2000 counting. Racial demographics show the population is 87.5% white, 3.2% Native American, 0.67% African-American, 6.8% “other races” and 1.6% of the people said they were from two or more races. Hispanic population was 12.3% in 2010. About 27% of families and 25% of the total population lived below the poverty level, including 32% of those under the age of 18 and 13% of those 65 and older.

'Historic' cartoons for which history said, 'Not so fast.'
“A lot died when Donald Trump won the presidency—facts, optimism, our will to exercise. Not least of which were some incredible Hillary Clinton victory cartoons that never saw the light of day. The following illustrations were commissioned by magazines ranging from The New Yorker to our very own GQ.com to the Clinton campaign itself. They were made with the historic first female president of the United States in mind, and would have run in print and online the morning after the election. Instead they were left unpublished, until now.”

(Click heels. “There’s no place like home.” Click heels. “There’s no place like home.” Oh, my! Oh, Madame President! It was such a nightmare, but now I am home and you are in the White House!)
If you read all of the GQ story, you are a better man than I, Gunga Din.

Erick is in Oklahoma
In Beckham County, the far west part of the state, a few miles east of Texola, which is a jackrabbit run from the Texas border.
Erick is on Business 40 and U.S. 66, not far south from I-40. The 2010 population was 1,052. Racial demographics show the 2000 population around 93% white, 0.1% African-American and 0.88 Native American. About 22% of families and 25.7% of the total population lived below the poverty line.
The largest population was in 1930, when 2,231 people lived in the town. By 1940, the population had dropped by more than 600. Depression, Dust Bowl and all that.
John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath was not popular with Erick residents.
"I can remember plainly when the book came out my parents and other people who stayed here were just real upset,” City Clerk Nyla Tennery said. “That book gave all Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma people a shiftless, bad name, like that was the only kind of people who were here.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erick,_Oklahoma
The Roger Miller Museum is at the corner of U.S. 66 (Roger Miller Boulevard in town) and Oklahoma (Sheb Wooly Avenue). Wooly was born in Erick; Miller grew up there from age 3. Whatever else somebody might think or say about Erick, it’s kind of evident there is something about a town that produced Flying Purple Eater and You Can’t Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd.

TV actors need to speak more clearly
Heard on police show the other night:
Character 1: ASA gobbily gobbilly.
Character 2: What's going on?
Character 1: You'll have to lap dance this time.
Rewind, jack up volume, replay.
Character 1: Internal Affairs wants to see you.
Character 2: What's going on?
Character 1: You'll have to make up your own mind.

Lab says Subway chicken isn’t, Subway claims ‘Is, too’
“A recent study conducted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has found that the sandwich chain's chicken meat contains about only about 50 percent chicken DNA — or about half as much as fresh chicken from a supermarket.”
(For the math challenged, the claim that 50 percent is “about half as much as fresh chicken” might come as a surprise.)
Subway says it uses “only 100 percent white meat chicken in their chicken products,” but did admit to “using soy as a stabilizer.” Hmm. Is Subway saying its chicken sandwich is 100 percent chicken, except for the soy stabilizer? No. Subway says the chicken in the chicken sandwich is 100 percent chicken. Except for the soy stabilizer. In PR and roadblocking, that is known as an honest statement. Which says a lot about PR.

Fake news, real news? Who knows? Somebody is telling the truth, so somebody else is lying? Well, yes and no. You know Canadian Broadcasting Corp. is less than friendly toward corporate foods, especially American corporate foods. And you equally know Subway spends big bucks to head off and deflect bad press.
