The Winkest Link

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.

Now this is what we’ve been waiting for. As you may remember from about a month ago, we here at the Winkest Link have been a tad skeptical of President-elect Obama’s cabinet positions that are supposed rivals. After all, Hillary Clinton, Peter Orszag, and Bill Richardson are not the biggest opponents Obama could find. In [...]

President-elect Barack Obama is currently planning to boost the economy by, among other things, pouring billions of dollars into a “more energy-efficient” economy. It times like these where a single thought runs through my head, over and over. It’s about time. This country has had numerous problems with the economy, excessive and egregious. This country, [...]

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 [...]

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).

President-elect Obama managed to take Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida, as well as Virginia and even losing by a relatively small margin in Texas. One of the biggest shocks to me, though, was Nebraska’s second district. With 9,000 absentee and early votes left to [...]

11:23 CST: Kasson:  Wow what a great speech by Obama. 10:56 CST: Kasson:  Even better if it was Tancredo 10:32 CST: Cessna: McCain’s speech was definitely a great one. It is truly a shame that he had to be the Republican candidate in this election. I would have felt better had it been Huckabee or [...]

Many by now heard the story of the woman who was attacked by a “big black man” who carved a backward “B” on the side of her face. Several of the staff here at The Winkest Link had said that this story stank to high heaven long before it was revealed as a hoax Friday. [...]

Recently Senator John McCain and Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin have been referring to their voters – and their voters alone – as “real” Americans. I’d like to say it’s hard to think that they would say something like this, but truthfully I’m not shocked to have heard them say this. Apparently Senator McCain is [...]
