I’m getting a complex about Oklahoma City. They keep stealing our stuff.
First it was the Sonics. Although seven years have passed, and whatever they renamed that team still hasn’t won an NBA title. So we’re over that. Right?
Then it was our elephants. Personally, I was over that immediately.
But now it’s our Boeing engineers. About 900 Boeing defense workers, mostly engineers, are being spirited away — at least their jobs are — to “The Big Friendly,” which is what some boosters want everyone to call Oklahoma City these days.
The Big Poacher is more like it.
