CONTEST RESULTS & NEW FOCUS

Our title the photo contest, of Linden packed to move, sitting outside the nursing home, is now over. Judging was so difficult that it was decided to award two prizes. They go to Katia in Wisconsin and Sharon in Alabama. Because the photographer, Jack Burlison, is so sensitive and will accept no title less impressive than "Mona Lisa II," we will not share the winning titles with you. Or Jack.

Our new competition, for which there is no set completion date and certainly no prizes, also requires a little thought on your part. Simply send your thought about why you (or they) are a Republican or a Democrat. Send to: LWDcomment@aol.com include your first name and state of residence. An example of an entry is as follows: I am a Republican because only Republicans are handsome. Linden IN.
Submissions may be rejected because of unacceptable language or on a whim. A listing of submissions may be posted at a future date.

LINDEN’S BOOKS

“MIND OVER FATTER” written in 1983 as a contrast to a Jane Fonda book. She had a better publisher so sales languished. It, written in calligraphy, was the first to present the concept of vicarious exercise. “An approach to weight control and physical conditioning which provides solace for the sedentary – includes recipes and statistical political commentary.”

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.

Pennsylvania 1 Philadelphia area
Pennsylvania 14 Pittsburgh area

Rhode Island 2 Warwick area

Texas 9 Houston area – One Found?
Texas 16 El Paso
Texas 20 San Antonio
Texas 28 Laredo

Virginia 3 Newport News 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.
