The wit and wisdom of the Oklahoma Republican Party on Facebook:

"The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing this year the greatest amount of free Meals and Food stamps ever, to over 46 million people.

"Thus ends today's lesson in irony #OKGOP."
