No $16 Muffins

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 [...]

Too Many Voters!

By Wink GOP legislators in 40 states have introduced bills to make it harder to vote. The stated objective is to stop ‘voter fraud.’ Many of these bills have already passed. Why are Republicans doing this? Why not Democrats? Isn’t voter fraud bad? Don’t Dems think voter fraud would be bad? Yeah, they would think [...]

We Report – You Decide

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 [...]

By Wink Glenn Beck is leaving FOX. You would expect me to be celebratory about this. I am not. Frankly, I don’t care one way or another. I was always mystified how such a loopy character could command the $20+ million that FOX was always willing to pay him. He did have an enormous audience [...]

Fox & Friends & Fear

Despite all evidence to the contrary he, and just about everybody else on Fox, regularly beat the drum about birth certificates, death panels, swift boats, etc, etc.

Truth be damned. We need bad guys.

Now, according to Beck/Fox, the current biggest threat to the world is the Muslim Brotherhood. Apparently they are taking over Egypt, the middle east, and the whole world, INCLUDING THE GOOD OLD U.S. of A..

By Wink Hannity: Well Sarah, nice to have you here today. Sarah: Nice to be here Sean. Hannity: You look lovely today, as always. Sarah: Thank you Sean. Hannity: No, really. You are really beautiful. Sarah: Thanks. Hannity: Hot, really. Sarah: You are so nice. Hannity: Sarah, why is the liberal press so mean to [...]

Inflationary Spending

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 [...]

A Muslim President!

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 [...]

Dunn Leaves, Hyperbole Ensues

By Wink White House Communication Director Anita Dunn will be leaving her post soon. She is best-known for saying that Fox News was acting as an arm of the Republican Party. In spite of (or perhaps as proof of) the obviousness of that comment, the collection of Fox commentators ripped into her for those sentiments. [...]

Stuffing the Online Poll

By Wink As you would guess, on-line polls are not exactly random, and are almost as unscientific as is possible. A recent MSNBC poll was taken to rate President Obama. This poll was pretty straight-forward: How do you think Obama did in his first 100 days? The only options were letter grades A, B, C, [...]
