The Associated Press: U. of Okla. freshman, 19, elected mayor of Muskogee: "MUSKOGEE, Okla. (AP) — A 19-year-old freshman at the University of Oklahoma was elected mayor Tuesday of Muskogee, a city of 38,000 in the northeastern part of the state. With all precincts reporting, John Tyler Hammons won with 70 percent of the vote over former Mayor Hershel Ray McBride, said Muskogee County Election Board Secretary Bill Bull."

"I'm proud to be the Mayor of Muskogee,
A place where little kids can have their say.
We all ride our skateboards down at the courthouse,
And chug Red Bull while we listen to Green Day."
