By Wink We at the Winkest Link were stupid enough to believe that the House of Representatives would eventually see the light and just pass raising the debt ceiling. To all presidents of both parties this has always been a formality in the past. But now morons run the House, so we at W-L will [...]
By Wink GOP legislators in 40 states have introduced bills to make it harder to vote. The stated objective is to stop ‘voter fraud.’ Many of these bills have already passed. Why are Republicans doing this? Why not Democrats? Isn’t voter fraud bad? Don’t Dems think voter fraud would be bad? Yeah, they would think [...]
By Wink Amy Winehouse has been found dead. Very sad. She was a Grammy winner. I knew that, but never really knew too much else about her. Okay, I knew that her reputation as drunk or drug-addled led her to being the number one comic punch line to describe someone as drunk or drug-addled. And [...]

By Wink People (guys) love stuff that goes ‘boom.’ I like stuff that goes ‘boom.’ I grew up with it. Flashback…… When I was a kid every Fourth of July was filled with the bangs of lady fingers (1/2 inch firecrackers) or, for the older kids, the slightly bigger inch-and-a-quarter firecrackers. These could be pretty [...]
By Wink Not too long ago (February 14 to be exact) we at Winkest Link expressed our displeasure about how often opponents just make up s*** to trash the president. In the political arena we don’t mind a little hyperbole. Politics, after all, is hardball, so…. GOP: Feel free to say Democrats spend tax dollars [...]
