RACIAL BIGOTRY?
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.
-----
Faulty memory is only one of the problems one sometimes associates with growing older. Linden can not remember whether he read or heard a comment regarding the democrat primaries of February 12. The gist of the comment was that Obama was an overwhelming favorite to sweep the races in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. The reason given for this prediction was that they all have a large percentage of black population. The comment appeared to attract little, if any, media notice.
I note that Obama has been the winner in many states which have a population that is even more overwhelmingly white. I wonder what the reaction would have been if it had been predicted that Clinton would win these states because of their white majority. The person making the comment seemed to infer a condition of black racial bigotry. I hope this is not true.
Linden does not really care what the correct answer is to this question: He can not imagine being willing to bet his future, and the future of his country, on either Clinton or Obama.

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.
