RANDOM THOUGHTS

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.

RANDOM THOUGHTS

Hat Tip - Sharon Herbitter

"For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is making a comeback." Are the words attributed to Michelle Obama as she spoke in Wisconsin.
The word "ingrate" is what comes to Linden's mind as he considers the statement. His hope, in this regard, is that the Obama's never make it to the White House.

The congressional "investigation" of evil doings by baseball players may have been more worthwhile if the players had investigated Congress. California adds to its record of dumb choices as it continues to return the committee chair, Henry Waxman, to "serve". It has been said that the taxpayer cost per congressman is over one million dollars. WE WUZ ROBBED.

Approval ratings of this democrat controlled congress is consistently about ten points lower than that of President Bush. Linden believes that his record deserves a higher rating and that of congress is way too high.

Linden is certainly not rich and his income is not high. He expects his monthly tax bill to increase about $100.00 per month if this democrat controlled congress is successful in doing away with the Bush tax cuts. One has to wonder: Would our representation and news reporting be greatly improved if those who referred to these tax cuts as being only for the rich were lined up and shot?

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.
