RECOVERY (ALMOST)

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.

Now, some 24 hours older and much wiser, Linden returns to his normal condition after posting "DESPAIR" yesterday. Linden had no control over this passage of time and most of the improvement in his mental condition came from outside sources. Men's Prayer Breakfast (scrambled eggs and pork chops) early this morning provided, through the study of Moses in Exodus chapter 2, an appreciation for "in God's time."
One reader said "be of good cheer" and provided a convincing argument for doing just that. Another, who came to our shores some years ago, said "America is a great country." How can you argue with that?
I, of couse, have devoted some thought to the candidate selection problems the democrats are in the process of developing. Sharon Herbitter's posting "The Last Thing I Should Be Doing" at http://sherbitter.livejournal.com/ expanded on my thoughts. What a great writer she is!
Michelle Malkin's "Quo vadis, conservatives" at www.townhall.com/columnists/ outlines the path the Republican conservatives should now follow: Linden, as an evangelical Christian Republican conservative was much impressed with her thoughts.
Some months ago both parties were presented with a list of 8 or 9 candidates for the highest office in our land. Each of the remaining candidates were at or near the bottom of Linden's preference listing at that time. This fact does not change the responsibility each of us has to attempt to select the best leader for our country.
Never forget, we are engaged in a long term war which must be won. Some among our enemies would enjoy killing you.

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.
