AN APOLOGY

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

AN APOLOGY

I suppose that I owe an apology to many of those who inhabit the Northeastern states. For years, I have mentally compared their prevalent liberalism to a flock of bleating sheep being led to the slaughterhouse. With the mind poisoning teaching of the Ivy League type institutions of "higher learning" coupled with the pervasive liberalism of the area main stream media it is no wonder that many have been brainwashed. For just as long, Linden has considered that to be the least enlightened area of our country. I'M SORRY!

This week, with three consecutive postings addressing some of the shortcomings of the Berkeley area, Nancy Pelosi and Henry Waxman, perhaps I should reconsider where the least enlightenment exists. Surely when I consider and add the two California Senators to the mix my apology to the Northeastern states will become even more heartfelt.

LINDEN’S BOOKS

“BOUT FIRTEEN COUNTRY CHILDERN RIMES” is a group of 20 poems written in a style reminiscent of James Whitcomb Riley and 20 accompanying illustrations. This book is little more expensive than a greeting card. Since both the author and the illustrator are now deceased, use Linden Swift as the author name when inquiring online.

“OUTSTANDING NATIONAL LEAGUE BASEBALL PITCHERS OF THE LAST 42 YEARS” Published in 1987, this book could be of interest to older baseball fans. Author: Linden Swift. Available locally at Uncommon Corner in downtown Plainfield, IN or Secondhand Stories on Raceway road. Also online:

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.

New Jersey 1 Camden and Gloucester Counties
New Jersey 10 Essex, Hudson and Orion Counties

New York 5 Queens and Nassau Counties
New York 6 Queens
New York 9 Brooklyn and Queens
New York 22 Delaware County area – 2 Found

North Carolina 1 Roanoke Rapids, Rocky Mount and other areas

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.
