• Instead of encouraging Oklahomans to wear masks and not attend large gatherings, Gov. Kevin Stitt is calling for "prayer and fasting” to deal with the spread of COVID. How are a bunch of people who are too selfish to wear some cloth over their faces going to starve themselves for imaginary results?

• Conservatives like Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne think *every* Democrat is a Communist. (In reality, most of them are Republican-lite.) There's no need for liberal candidates to play it safe when they're always going to be caricatured like this. Might as well have something useful to show for it.

(*Cue three other men with furrowed brows nodding in agreement.*)

• That’s all we’ve got for you tonight— now let Kenneth Copeland sing you a lullaby:
