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 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 A report shows that people, and especially women, are leaving the Republican Party. Why would they do that? Why would anyone struggle with Republican ideology? We have our own ideas, but today we will just pass along some random quotes from the blog world. (Note: We have tidied up grammar and spelling where [...]
By Kasson As you have probably heard by now, Arlen Specter, the longtime Pennsylvania Republican has switched to the Democratic Party. He states that the switch is due to the shift of the Republican party to be more conservative. This is entirely true, and probably the ultimate reason of him switching. Once Al Franken is [...]
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, [...]
Monty Python once did a skit titled “The Argument Clinic.” In it a man approaches the counter of a business to request an argument. He is told that a specific argument counselor is in today, “but is feeling a bit conciliatory.” Well that is the way we feel today. By the time this blog began [...]
The Republican Party likes to think of itself as the staunch defenders of all that is right with America. They are standing strong as defenders of liberty and morality, and all that is just. There is only one thing wrong with this. They do not stand strong. They have no spine. Three Republican leaders, in [...]
Conservatives sometimes confuse us. Never with their brilliant logic, but usually with obfuscation and buzz-words. They like to create clever catch-phrases that sound interesting, but have no real meaning, other than to make liberals sound bad. “America, love it or leave it.” This phrase is delightful. It implies America is perfect, and any changes would [...]
Do you remember when Republicans tried to privatize Social Security? You may remember that it was fairly recently, and while that is true, this idea has been on the Republican drawing board for a very long time. The concept is intriguing. Instead of the ‘boring old government’ giving me a ‘boring old rate of return’ [...]
One would think that a 365 to 173 butt kicking in the electoral college (which democrats have hated for a long time) would show republicans the big picture. One would think that an 18 seat deficit in the Senate would show republicans the big picture. One would think that a 78 seat deficit in the [...]
