WET WEDNESDAY
It is hard to be upbeat when the weather is so dreary and the rain keeps coming down long after you've seen enough of it to last a few days. This situation, coupled with another less than perfect night for sleeping ensured that Linden would have little of importance (even to him) to say today.

Sure, he had an enjoyable time with his first grade Study Buddy at the elementary school, enjoyed the biscuits and gravy at Chick-fil-A and the other things that are part of his every day life. But, he neither read anything or heard anything on talk radio that immediately stirred his writing juices.

From the political standpoint, Linden's focus was on his own campaign. He answered some mail and prepared to participate in two upcoming candidate presentation nights. Probably the most enjoyable item in this vein revolved around taking his bio to The Hendricks Flyer, having his picture taken there and really enjoying the interaction with the Flyer staff. My son, Brian, worked for The Flyer when he was in his high school years and I will always have good feelings for that paper.

Maybe tomorrow we will address a matter of more widespread significance.

LINDEN’S BOOKS

“BOUT FIRTEEN COUNTRY CHILDERN RIMES” is a group of 20 poems written in a style reminiscent of James Whitcomb Riley and 20 accompanying illustrations. This book is little more expensive than a greeting card. Since both the author and the illustrator are now deceased, use Linden Swift as the author name when inquiring online.

“OUTSTANDING NATIONAL LEAGUE BASEBALL PITCHERS OF THE LAST 42 YEARS” Published in 1987, this book could be of interest to older baseball fans. 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.

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.
