Political Pals
Former state Rep. Wayne Pettigrew has been on a town-by-town journey announcing his candidacy for the Second District Congressional seat.
Pettigrew served in the Oklahoma Legislature from 1994 to 2004, representing District 39, a rural district northwest of Oklahoma City.

| Lance Cargill |
What was almost as interesting as Pettigrew’s visit in Claremore, was his advance man. ‑ none other than Lance Cargill.
Remember Lance? He was the youngest person to serve as the Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives in 2007-08. He was 35 at the time. His leadership reign was cut short when it was discovered he hadn’t paid his taxes on time.
Cargill was quite an up and comer within Republican circles. He has a bachelors of science from Oklahoma State University in political science and economics. He went on to Vanderbilt University School of Law, where he earned the juris doctorate.
This could be the remaking of Cargill’s future political career.
Ironically, one of Cargill’s partners in politics at the time was Fount Holland.
Holland is overseeing the campaign of another Second District candidate, Markwayne Mullin.
A military coup of sorts has been seized over in Stillwater.
The city's airport authority has entered into a lease with FLIR systems, who plans to tests it Combat Outpost Surveillance and Force Protection system, nicknamed "Kraken".
The testing is to prove the equipment' viability.
Last month the U.S. Army reported http://www.army.mil/media/218457/ it was evaluating the "Kraken" system at the White Plains Missile Range in New Mexico. Check out the Army's site for more information. Let's just say if the system works it can protect our Armed Forces from incoming attacks.
It is "a cutting-edge force-protection system which combines radar, surveillance cameras, unmanned sensors, gunshot detection and remote-controlled weapons," according to the Army.
It is designed as a quickly deployable unit that can monitor and triangulate and lock on to the location of a person firing a weapon.
Let's just say WOW! Just what our military forces need over in Afghanistan.
Former President Jimmy Carter might have been heard endorsing Mitt Romney as the GOP's choice for president.
Wait a cotton-pickin' minute. Carter was speaking with Lefty Rachel Maddow on MSNBC about the GOP candidates. The one-term president said "I'm not taking a position, but I would be very pleased to see him win the Republican nomination."
Carter also said he hoped Mitt's religion would not stand in the way of his achieving the land's highest office.
