INVESTING
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.

Most of Linden's friends are far too considerate to ever mention something like accumulation of wealth to him. They are familiar with his lack of ability in this area. Recently, one did make such an unfeeling comment in regard to another person who had met with some success. Apparently she is not aware of Linden's lack of money handling ability. His main concern is whether or not his children will be able to borrow the funds necessary to provide for his funeral. The comment regarding this other, more successful, person arrived just moments after Linden had inspected a recent holdings report which included reference to six old investments which now have a total value of $1.26.
Included in this report was reference to an investment Linden made in a sub-prime mortgage lending organization. It is now valued at about one third of what it was valued at only ten months ago. Should not the U.S. Government (you taxpayers) reimburse Linden for his careless, if not stupid, approach to investing? I am almost sorry I asked: They are liable to do it.
The correct answer to the question is NO! They should not force the taxpayers to rescue those like me, or organizations not following sound business principles, or any involved in any way with poor judgement in regard to the sub-prime lending caused financial mess. Individuals and organizations should be solely responsible for their own bad decisions.
It is probable that our spend happy Congress and President will make the wrong decision and you will pay. THANK YOU, in advance, for bailing me out.

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.
