Rainy end to the Weekend...

After a beautiful start to our weekend, Sunday ended up wet and really cool with high only hitting the low 50's across much of the state. Southeastern Oklahoma recieved up to an inch of rainfall which is welcome with the current drought we are in. Oklahoma City averaged about half an inch and rainfall totals continue to decrease the further west and northwest you go, unfortunately that's where our driest counties are located. Here is the current drought graphic:



 
Another wave of light to moderate rainfall will develop and move through the area Monday mid-day as the remainder of the storm system passes. Monday will be a cool and cloudy day. Wednesday we will return to highs in the 80's!

Mr. Mark Mazetti speaks to UCO students

He says that the New York Times isn't just a paper anymore it is more of a digital paper now, where you can access it through your cell phone, iPad or any electronic device. According to him, our own House and Senate don't even know the details of the "shadows of war." In the mid 1970's US made a law where the USA couldn't assassinate world leaders without a trial.

Pre- 9/11 should the CIA use drones to kill Osama Bin Laden?
In 2004 investigations showed the CIA was torturing prisoners.

In May 2011, the US carried out an operation to find and kill Osama Bin Laden by Navy Seals, in Pakistan where the US was not at war.

Yemen is "Obama's war" with drones being used in that country by the Pentagon and the CIA. That could be a very big problem with a secret war known as "blurred lines" where no one outside the government knows what's going on.
