Today, as many know, is Thursday, November 27th, also known as Thanksgiving Day.
We here at the Winkest Link wish you all the best over this holiday weekend. For those traveling, we hope you drive safe, wear your seatbelt, don’t run with scissors, and any other pearls of wisdom we are forgetting. In honor of Thanksgiving [...]
Thus far the only rivalries I’ve noticed are of egos, and not the waffles either.
I am going to look at Obama’s picks, and likely picks and sort them out.
Peter Orszag is Obama’s choice for director of the Office of Management and Budget. Mr. Orszag served under the previous Clinton administration as a Senior Advisor. Likely has [...]
A pit bull has attacked a seven year old girl in Oregon. Are you surprised? Why would you ever be? A pit bull is as close to a ‘wild’ animal as a domesticated pet can ever be.
Here are some details:
The girl was playing on a tire swing when she was attacked by a 90-pound pit [...]

What you have heard for the past couple of months is true, we are in a recession (and if you don’t believe so, you are just kidding yourself).

Barack Obama’s cabinet positioning is well underway, and he’s not willing to say anything regarding it. If there is only one person he absolutely must put into his administration in some way, it’s Chuck Hagel. As a major Obama supporter, and one who is very liberal, I know that Senator Hagel (R-NE) is smarter than [...]
I give the Democrats about a 20% chance of holding a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate (Alaska-90%, Minnesota-50%, and Georgia-40%). Regardless of whether they have the super majority or not, these are my wishes for the next Congress.
I wish for the Democrats to take the moral high ground that the Republicans have lacked over the [...]
Iraqi leaders are now gently pushing us (the U.S.) toward the door.
What was our purpose there again? Feel free to ignore the imaginary ‘weapons of mass destruction’ and ‘poison gas factories’ that Bush & Cheney used to drag us into an unprovoked war. Let’s pretend that the real reason, all along, was simply to [...]
Please excuse us while we excerpt from the Sept 8, 2008 issue of Time…

I would like to give a message to all voters in the country.
Many are upset over the outcome of the election, which is certainly
understandable. It was an upset to about 47% of all voters. I

However, I hold no sympathy for anybody who does not stand by the
president-elect now merely because [...]
