By Kasson Yesterday President Obama went to Norway to pick up his Nobel Peace Prize. He spent 26 hours there, long line I guess, these days they seem giving them out to everybody. He get’s to Norway and prepares to deliver his acceptance speech. What will he talk about? Well it is the Nobel Peace [...]
In place of a regular post, we at the Winkest Link have decided that everyone needs something to liven up their day. Here are a few of our favorite quotes, funny or enlightening. “The shinbone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room.” – Anonymous “Never hit a man with glasses. Hit him [...]
By Ike I’m sure you remember my excellent Thanksgiving poem last year. Well, this year I have created a Halloween poem that is only a tiny bit late. Enjoy, with a heartfelt (and late) Happy Halloween from those of us at The Winkest Link. There once was an actor named Fred. A tricky stunt took [...]
By Wink FOOTBALL: Do you prefer college or pro football? It pretty much depends where you are. If you live in Philadelphia, chances are pretty good you are a pro football fan.

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.
