The Winkest Link

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 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 [...]

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 [...]

By Kasson 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. What will he talk about? Well it is the Nobel Peace [...]

The newest “scandal” involves Sarah Palin.  This week Newsweek is releasing a cover that includes a picture of Sarah Palin.  Before I show you the image I want to warn you of the sexist imagery. Palin did pose for this picture and it was supposedly for a magazine. One source says Runner’s World Magazine. To [...]

By Wink Thomas Sowell of the Creators Syndicate wants Rush Limbaugh to sue somebody. He is quickly becoming my favorite columnist. Apparently when the Winkest Link honored Sowell with the prestigious “Bonehead Du Jour” Award (Feb 19, 2009) he became obsessed with trying to be the first two-time winner. Now he is saddened because he [...]
