A couple of months ago, I stumbled across this article from the OKC Friday that ranked "Oklahoma's 50 Most Powerful Oklahomans." Because it came from The Friday, it primarily featured rich, white men. That's probably because publications like The Friday "” and their rich white readers "” only associate money with power. Seriously, this is the same publication whose major focuses are Casady athletics and Debutante Balls.
Anyway, we're not stupid. We know that the most powerful people are also usually the wealthiest. But we also understand the power that artists, local celebrities and weathermen have in this state. We also know how to make a little friendly fun of these people. That's why our list should be better than The Friday's. Check out number 50-41 after the jump.
