A recent Winkest Link mentioned the ridiculous concept of a “War on Christmas”. Some alleged Christian invented this phrase. The focus of a real Christian is love, not war, but…
As we discussed, there is no war on Christmas. This imaginary swipe at Christians was created out of thin air. The word ‘war’ was [...]
There is less than one month left until he is the big dog. It wont be long until he has to take responsibility for his actions. He is coming in with record high approval ratings (82%), but it is not going to be easy. As he is quickly finding out more global problems arise than [...]
There is no special message, no ulterior motive, nothing exceptional about this post.
We here at the Winkest Link would just like to wish you all the very best of happiness during these holidays.
Are you a soldier in the “War on Christmas?”

So we all know by now the story of Muntadhar al-Zeidi, the man that threw his shoes and shouted at President Bush at his news conference in Iraq. What some of us [...]

Merrill Lynch lost $11 billion this year and the CEO requested a $10 million bonus. The Board of Directors was actually considering it before the CEO withdrew the request amid a firestorm of criticism.
Was there ever any possibility that lower level employees at Merrill Lynch would get a bonus? The bonus for 4000 Merrill Lynch [...]
OK, you all know who Rod Blagojevich is, I won’t bore you with that, let’s just cut straight to the opinion stuff.
