DWI: Driving While Impolitic in Oklahoma

Chip Harrison was driving in Oklahoma City when he was stopped by a member of the Oklahoma City Police Department for displaying a sign on his car critical of President Obama. The officer confiscated the sign saying “Abort Obama Not the Unborn” under the theory that the Secret Service might view it as a threat on the President’s life — ignoring that he would first have to be returned to a fetal state .


Capt. Steve McCool (no I did not make up this name) of the Oklahoma City Police Department said that the officer was out of bounds. He insisted that a supervisor “intervened and quickly returned the sign” and “Obviously, it was not a good decision to confiscate the sign.”

It appears that there will be no discipline for an officer who takes it upon himself to regulate speech of residents. Yet, I would suggest that at a minimum that Captain McCool sign the following song to the Oklahoma censor police:

ICE

You’ll laugh. Yeah, now you all better dig this and dit it good. No matter who or what is eatin’ at you, man you show it and you are dead. You are cuttin’ a hole in yourselves for them to stick in a red hot umbrella and open it. Wide. You wanna live in this lousy world? You play it cool.

ACTION

I wanna get even!

ICE

Get cool!

A-RAB

I wanna bust!

ICE

Bust cool!

ACTION

I wanna go!

ICE

Go cool!

Boy, boy, crazy boy

Get cool, boy

Got a rocket in your pocket

Keep cooly cool boy

Don’t get hot

‘Cause man you got

Some high times ahead

Take it slow

And Daddy-o

You can live it up and die in bed

Boy, boy, crazy boy

Stay loose, boy

Breeze it

Buzz it

Easy does it

Turn off the juice, boy

Go man, go

But not like a yo-yo school boy

Just play it cool, boy

Real cool

Boy, boy, crazy boy

Stay loose, boy

Breeze it

Buzz it

Easy does it

Turn off the juice, boy

Just play it cool, boy

Real cool

Thank you, Captian McCool, thank you.
