By Wink 2012 is an election year. Get ready to be inundated with endless distortions and misrepresentations. The development of Super-PAC’s will take mud-slinging ads to new heights. Ceaseless, endless, unaccountable money. Are you ready for it? A ‘big one’ that you will hear from now until the second Tuesday in November is “Obama is [...]
By Wink The Democrat-led Senate passed a two month extension to our current payroll tax cuts, and then went home for Christmas. The Republican-controlled House chose NOT to vote on it, and then went home for Christmas. Not voting means the tax will increase effective January 1. The new-age GOP plays zero-sum politics. All of [...]
By Wink Is there anyone anywhere that doesn’t already know that Donald Trump is a (pardon my French) media whore? ** I am now officially approaching ‘old’ so I can say with some authority that I have never in my life seen someone so self-absorbed. Never. Madonna seems modest by comparison. I didn’t live in [...]
By Wink Current Republicans, for some reason, have deified Ronald Reagan. This is curious, for certain, because Reagan was way more liberal than any current GOP candidate would dare to admit. Today Reagan would never make it past the Iowa caucuses. All of that is a discussion for another day. On that day, we will [...]
By Wink I disagree with syndicated writer Cal Thomas on a number of issues, but I read him all the time. His writing is smart enough that he frequently forces me to revisit my perspectives on different issues. He recently wrote a charming article about his fondness for Texas. Good for him. I have been [...]
By Wink Herman Cain has been accused of multiple counts of sexual misconduct. I am confident this charge could be leveled on any number of corporate executives. Sometimes money, power and adulation can go to your head, and not everyone is above abusing that power. Can I prove that he did any or all of [...]
By Wink You have heard about the $16 muffins, haven’t you? Some government organization somewhere held a conference at a nearby hotel, and they were charged $16 for each and every muffin that they ate. Sixteen dollar muffins! Horrible! This is a classic story of how all government is wasteful, and all tax dollars are [...]
By Wink In the October 5 W-L post I tried to explain why President Obama is not Hitler, and governor Rick Perry is not a racist. A reader felt obligated to respond, by forwarding something from the conservative blogosphere. The ‘surprise’ ending is that all the below info is really about Hitler. HITLER !!! [...]
By Wink Can we stop with the name-calling already? This is seventh-grade stuff… On ‘Fox and Friends’ Hank Williams Jr. recently called President Obama ‘Hitler.’ Really Hank, Hitler? Do you know who Hitler was? What he did? Pull your head out. You have the right to free speech, Hank. You won’t go to jail for [...]
By Wink Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad loves conspiracies. Like many bigots, he says the Holocaust never happened. He has also purported that 9/11 was not really an Al-Qaeda plan, but that the U.S. government orchestrated it. This view has really ticked off some people. Among them, Al-Qaeda. Yep, Al-Qaeda is mad at Iran, and they are [...]
