We all agree, right? Right?
Okay, good. Now we can get on to a problem that really needs to be addressed.

I never trust the statistics provided by any political action committee.

Are insurance companies worried about the health care bill?

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.

You might imagine we at Winkest Link are highly amused by The Daily Show. You would be right.
Recently Jon Stewart performed a dead-on parody of the Beck style. This clip has become very popular on YouTube. Of course it can also be viewed on indecisionforever.com, which is a Comedy Central website connected to The [...]
