By Wink May 21 came and went. The world didn’t end. If anyone was ‘raptured’ up to heaven, I didn’t notice. (See the May 19 Winkest Link, “Our Final Farewell”) That I did not get ‘raptured’ did not shock me. I try to be good, but I don’t expect to be on the ‘A’ train [...]
By Wink On May 21, a nearby symphony orchestra is performing “Live and Let Die: The Music of Paul McCartney”. Live and Let Die? It can’t be any more appropriate. May 21, 2011 is the end of the earth. The orchestra could have chosen music from ‘Titanic,’ but maybe that would have been too subtle. [...]
By Wink Do you sometimes wonder about Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? Is he the cruel ruthless dictator we have painted him to be? Probably. Is he a puppet for the Muslim Clerics of Iran, notably Ayatollah Khameini? Well, he certainly has been. But maybe now, after all this time, he is developing a little backbone. [...]

Don’t they know all Muslims are terrorists? Muslims work in the Pentagon, and have religious services there. You can’t get more ‘inside’ than that. [...]
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 Wink Some will see this as the beginning of the end of the world. An openly gay politician was elected to office. In Texas. There have always been gay politicians. Many-many gay politicians. But the closet was always full. No one dared come out. As representation, American gays had only Barney Frank and a [...]
By Kasson Because everyone everywhere apparently speaks with a liberal bias, someone had to create a website called “Conservapedia.” This differs from Wikipedia by twisting all conventional wisdom toward conservative opinion. Fine, whatever. If you want your kids to think the earth is 6000 years old (and they DO), then this is the website for [...]
By Wink I expect this topic to be a little touchy, but stay with me here. Why do churches get a pass on paying taxes? Churches do lots of good work. I get that, but lots of people and organizations do good work and STILL pay tax. I hate to pick on the Scientologists here, [...]
