Rep. mayoral candidate:a Christian creationism display in the Tulsa Zoo is most vital city issue.
Republican mayoral candidate Anna Falling said Tuesday that putting a Christian creationism display in the Tulsa Zoo is No. 1 in importance among city issues that also include violent crime, budget woes and bumpy streets.

"It's first," she said to calls of "hallelujah" at a rally outside the zoo. "If we can't come to the foundation of faith in this community, those other answers will never come. We need to first of all recognize the fact that God needs to be honored in this city."

Falling, who has founded several Christian nonprofit groups and is a former city councilor, also said the next mayor needs to appoint people to boards, authorities and commissions who will "honor God."

"We will also look for people who want to characterize the origins of both man and animals in a way that honors Judeo-Christian science that proves God as the creator," she said.

When asked whether she meant that she would recruit Christians to serve the city, Falling said she was talking about "people committed to their churches." When asked whether she meant Christian churches, she said, "churches, yes."

Moron: Anna Falling, but she'll get a pass from the right because she's a slim blonde woman with good hair under age 50

8. A pithy comment from the Tulsa World website...
You can see animals at the Tulsa Zoo performing the acts of creationism most any day of the week!

10. So does she have a serious shot at winning?
Or is she a comic-relief candidate?
