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 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 We at the Winkest Link were stupid enough to believe that the House of Representatives would eventually see the light and just pass raising the debt ceiling. To all presidents of both parties this has always been a formality in the past. But now morons run the House, so we at W-L will [...]
By Wink The GOP talking point to regain the House in 2010 was the following mantra: “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs.” Nothing else…just ‘jobs.’ It worked fabulously. They took complete control of the House and narrowed their deficit in the Senate. What have their objectives been SINCE the election? Embarrass President Obama. Protect the extremely wealthy [...]
By Wink The press seems obligated to report a certain number of ‘happy stories’ every day. They search and search for these, because they know that war stories and cancer stories become a bit of a buzz-kill, and after a while people will tune you out. Some days the ‘happy story’ comes easy. Every Thanksgiving [...]
I generally try to think of myself as someone who follows the news. The only thing I don’t typically watch is television news, unless a major event is happening. I read the papers, follow the websites, etc. But something must have slipped through the cracks. Apparently, Rep. Michele Bachmann made a misstatement about early American [...]
By Wink President Obama took an elbow to the mouth playing basketball. It must have been a bloody mess because it took sixteen stitches to fix it up. And those 16 stitches cost you, the U.S. taxpayer, over ONE BILLION DOLLARS. If my math is any good, that is around $100 million per stitch. You [...]
By Wink Did you hear about President Obama’s $200,000,000 per day trip to India? You didn’t? That’s because it is not true. Some guy threw that little tidbit out as a guest on a mostly-liberal radio talk show the other day. Of course, to me, $200,000,000 per day seemed like an insanely high number. So [...]
By Wink Eighteen percent of Americans think Obama is Muslim. Another 43% don’t know WHAT religion he is. This totals 61%. These numbers are mind-blowing. Are these people just hopelessly, blindingly ignorant? Can’t they at least remember back to Obama’s controversial (Christian) preacher? Don’t people remember FOX telling us that Obama has been going to [...]
