By Wink Not too long ago (February 14 to be exact) we at Winkest Link expressed our displeasure about how often opponents just make up s*** to trash the president. In the political arena we don’t mind a little hyperbole. Politics, after all, is hardball, so…. GOP: Feel free to say Democrats spend tax dollars [...]
By Wink Republicans refused to provide additional health benefits for 9-11 responders. The above statement is not made up, is not from ‘The Onion’. What guiding principle would cause the GOP to delay any sort of aid for 9-11 responders? Let say it all together now…… “Tax Cuts for the wealthy!” For years you have [...]
By Wink High political season tends to elevate my blood pressure. The vitriol of the last presidential election raised my hackles, and caused me to write multiple articles about the, shall we say, ‘disputable’ accusations that were raised. To reduce this stress, and because I didn’t want to seem obsessed with her, I decided a [...]
By Wink God bless you John McCain. War hero. Alleged iconoclast. You now tell us you never considered yourself a maverick. Really? Never? Did you read your autobiography, or at least the COVER of your autobiography? You are an extremely smart man. You know the word “autobiography” indicates you wrote the book, about yourself. You [...]
By Wink In my September 1, 2009 article I made a perfectly rational argument that members of the U. S. House of Representatives are morons, compared to those who reside in the Senate. I would like to update you on that, and let you know that I was mistaken, and the House members have really [...]
By Wink The Senate has voted to block expansion of one of the country’s most controversial and expensive defense programs, the F-22 fighter jet. The vote gave the White House and Pentagon a key victory over congressional supporters of the F-22, many of whom represent states and districts where jobs are tied to the production [...]
Please excuse us while we excerpt from the Sept 8, 2008 issue of Time… John McCain, according to one of his most perceptive & persistent critics, has struggled throughout his career to balance his principles and his ambitions, to reconcile the code of honor instilled in him as a boy with the insistent demands of [...]
When writers for a television show begin to run out of plot lines, they sometimes become desperate for ideas that will hold the attention of viewers. This happens to almost every show eventually. When the writers use some of these weird or contrived ideas, the show is said to have ‘jumped the shark’. The phrase [...]
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 [...]
