On the 16th consecutive day of rain in Oklahoma, a few tidbits from the land of Sooners:

I am officially addicted to sunflower seeds. I am a seeder. With a big wad of seeds between my cheek and gum and a spit cup by my side, it's like I have a dip in but without the carcinogen.

The story of the missing polka DJ in El Campo, Texas, has taken a turn for the worse, something I think everyone expected. Sonar has detected Bobby Jones' license plate, and according to KHOU.com, it also detected his 1993 Chevrolet Lumina.

If the Seattle Sonics are headed to Oklahoma City, eventually, as many expect, then BOY did we hit the jackpot tonight. The Sonics drafted Kevin Durant and then traded for one of my favorite players in the draft, Jeff Green, getting Delonte West and Wally Sczerbiak in a deal with Boston for Ray Allen.

Now, I'm really hoping the Sonics come to Oklahoma because that team is headed for greatness. Durant's a no-brainer, but everything I saw of Jeff Green in the NCAA tourney suggest he's a flat-out winner.

So, I'm listening to the Rusty Humphries Show on the way home tonight because I wasn't in the mood for music or baseball, and I hear Rusty in the middle of an interview with a professor.

First, like most everybody else on talk radio, Rusty is super far-right wing. He's a demagogue. He's a shameless self-promoter. He's predictable. He aligns himself with Michael Weiner (Savage). Alas, I will spend a little time listening to Rusty and Savage and Laura Ingraham just to hear how the other half is living.

Anyhoo, he's in the middle of an interview with a professor, a "scholar" who talks as if he's in the 1930s, ending every sentence with "don't you see" as if he's W.C. Fields or Jimmy Cagney, a "scholar" who keeps touting talk radio and being an education of the utmost importance, a "scholar" who said that attempts to revive the fairness doctrine (a quest I do NOT support for reasons I'll detail soon) was the result of liberal politicians becoming fearful that traditional Americans were hearing the truth.

He went on and on.

He's J. Rufus Fears, and he's a distinguished University of Oklahoma professor.

Sorry, I think he's a complete, total embarrassment, based on what I heard tonight. He spoke not like a scholar but like an experiment, a man with obvious scholastic credentials in the middle of what must have been some test to see if he could pass himself off as a talk radio clone.

Not that one has to be liberal to be a university professor. That's ridiculous and flies against what I believe a classic education should entail.

However, the illogic and trash this guy was spewing on Humphries' show, seriously, caused me to be embarrassed for my university.

Finally, looks like the devil is not only having a baby ... she's having twins.

This news concerning the vile Nancy Grace begs a couple of questions.

First, whose seed did she lure into the pits of hell?

Second, will these children be born with souls?

I thought about it the other day: who I would have to dinner if forced to pick between Ann Coulter and Grace?

And then I quickly kicked myself in the face.
