By Wink The NBA has produced many exciting moments this year, but only one situation that can be truly described as a tragedy. In Orlando, during the playoffs, Magic fan Ernest Provetti had secured two seats right next to the Magic bench, in row one, to watch the game with his 12 year old son, [...]
Did you ever notice how cute polar bears look? They have shiny-white fur, and sort of stroll about unobtrusively. Sometimes they will chase each other about and wrestle playfully. I can only guess ‘cute and cuddly’ is what a German woman was thinking when she climbed the fence at the Berlin Zoo and jumped into [...]
I will confess here that I am ‘oldish’ (but not yet old). I have a large collection of record albums that I never got rid of. I just couldn’t let go of these old “friends,” in spite of the fact that I hadn’t played any of them in decades. I have somehow come into possession [...]
The strength of the dollar has soared (sword?) today, due to Obama releasing some details of his economic plan. Through my investigations, I have found Obama heavily invested in the dollar. In fact he required all proceeds from his book sales to be changed into dollars. Is he manipulationg the market? Is this illegal? Since [...]
Are you a soldier in the “War on Christmas?” Gosh, we hope so. We need all the help we can get. We are off to a flying start. We have most business-owners saying “Happy Holidays” rather than “Merry Christmas.” Next we need to eliminate Christmas trees and any mention of Jesus. Then we can close [...]
One shuttle for sale by NASA. $42 million isn’t that bad, considering an Airbus A380 is about $325 million. So quite a savings. Second of all the space shuttle cost about $1.7 billion ($1,700,000,000) to make. In fact, the average launch cost is $450 million. Sure it doesn’t have the amenities, or an engine for that [...]
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 [...]
Congratulations to President-Elect John McCain. He has run an honorable campaign throughout this historical election. Barack Obama was truly a horrible choice for Democratic nominee. Dennis Kucinich would have easily beaten McCain (because he has a hot wife, too). Obama is taking the loss rather poorly. Apparently he is demanding a recount in California, New [...]
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 [...]
A recent news article I read showed the yearly income of nine CEOs of major corporations like Merrill Lynch, Wachovia, Washington Mutual and so on. It also gives the current salary of Warren Buffett, the richest man in the world.
