IMPORTANT MATTERS
Before starting with today's subject matter, I would like to call your attention to our "title the photo" contest announced in the January 28 posting.

Linden had a few minutes to spare before driving to the elementary school where he was scheduled to serve as a "study buddy." Since it was freezing cold outside, he went out to start the car, using the keys that had an inoperative remote door lock/unlock jobby attached, he didn't need the keys at all: All four doors were frozen shut. He went back in, dropped the set of keys that had auto and other keys on it and it came apart on the floor. He filled the teakettle with water, went out and poured the water over the frozen doors until he was able to open one and not too long after started (late) to the school.
Later, Linden went to the jewelry department of Wal-Mart to have a battery put in the inoperative door opener and the nice lady there put what had been his good door unlock thingy back together and told him that the screw that held it together was missing. She put tape on it to hold it together and, after another stop or two, Linden was back home.
Picture an old man with creaking joints, very bad eyesight and one knee that can be somewhat painful in those rare instances when he is on the floor on his hands and knees. He, in pain, searches diligently but the missing screw refuses to be found. You think the retirement years are easy? Get real, sonny!!
Oh, yes - there was a matter of some importance that occurred in Florida yesterday. John McCain won the Republican primary election there. As you know, much to Linden's disappointment, Fred Thompson is no longer actively seeking the Presidency. Yet, his vote total surpassed that of democrats Dodd, Gravel and Kucinich combined.

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.
Illinois 12 East St. Louis – One Found?
Massachusetts 1 Berkshire, Hampden, Hampshire and other Counties
Massachusetts 2 Springfield area
Massachusetts 3 Bristol area – One Found?
Massachusetts 4 Bristol area – One Found?
Massachusetts 5 Essex, Middlesex and Worcester Counties
Massachusetts 7 Middlesex and Suffolk Counties
Massachusetts 8 Middlesex and Suffolk Counties
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.
