CURRENT EVENTS
Linden would prefer to post something reflecting deep thought regarding the Michigan primary. But, since he regards it as possibly even more of a sham than the Iowa and New Hampshire shows, it would be difficult to apply "deep thought" to anything that may be said. As a Republican, Linden resents the allowance of non party members to have any influence in the selection of his Presidential candidate.
So, with politics being off the table for today, Linden settled on writing about the Golden Globe awards: A subject he could hardly have less interest in. Of the 14 winners in the motion pictures category, Linden had heard of the name of the animated film and had possibly heard of Julie Christie. So much for the movies.
Of the 11 television categories, Linden had heard of Glenn Close (he believed she was a man) and, just today in the cardiologists office, became aware of Tina Fey: She was featured in an advertisement in a magazine he was leafing through while a television program in the background was recounting some tale of woe. Daytime television! Does any person capable of reading watch it? It is possible that the same question could be asked of nightime television as well. Happily, the report from the cardiologist was somewhat encouraging.

HELP WANTED
It appears that in the last general election there were no Republican candidates in 39 districts scattered across 15 states. These positions offer much more than just good pay. Some of these districts are listed below in State, District and general location sequence. Please help find a Republican candidate in these districts. Even if these districts can reasonably be considered “lost causes,” the effected taxpayers need to have a choice.
California 20 Fresno general area
California 31 Part of Los Angeles County
California 33 Part of Los Angeles County
Georgia 5 Atlanta area
Maryland 5 Calvert, Charles & St. Mary’s Counties
Maryland 7 Baltimore & adjacent Counties
Michigan 13 Wayne County area
Michigan 15 Detroit area
In recent ratings, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste considered 32 of the present officeholders (democrats) to be hostile, 6 unfriendly, and 1 lukewarm to taxpayers. The National Taxpayers Union granted a grade of “F” to 36 of this group while 3 of them rose to a “D”.

WHAT IF?
Surely you believe that the liberal dominated news media is very, very selective in what “news” they will print or report. Have you noticed the absence of reporting about the improved situation in Iraq? There are, of course, other examples but Linden will assume that you can think. WHAT IF, you complained to the lackluster “news” provider and, if satisfaction is not obtained you then call those who advertise in that medium? Your message could be something like: “ I am disappointed that you choose to advertise in or on …. Who will not report…. Perhaps this approach would pay dividends in the form of less biased news coverage.
