IT'S A GREAT LIFE
Linden has not been relaxing enough lately so today, after a short coffee meeting, he played nine holes of golf: Rather badly. Friend, Madonna, called to say that her daughter-in-law, Tricia, had just delivered twins: A boy and a girl and all are doing well. Julie called for a nice long visit: Since she is quite uncomfortable, it is a safe bet that she is jealous of Tricia. Brian also called while Ali was playing soccer. Since Linden had the pleasure of hearing from both of his children on the same day, we will talk about their consideration now.

Shortly after Christmas, New Year's and Linden's birthday, Julie and Kenneth and Brian, Ali and Jake came for a too short holiday visit: Knowing their Dad, presents centered largely on snack food. Brian also produced a DVD of the first year of "24" - which just happens to be Linden's all time favorite TV show. He, within the last few days completed watching the most enjoyable series. The only problem is that they said that presidential candidate Palmer is a Democrat. Doesn't fit. Based on the current sample, he is far too nice. Brian also brought a huge bag of pistachios - they lasted a couple of months.

Julie brought a great supply of various snacks - as of this writing, there are still six unopened bags of various goodies. Following is consumption end date report:
1-7 Lentil soup and vegetables
1-23 Sesame sticks
2-2 Terriyaki noodle bowl
2-3 Fresh hot salsa
2-5 Cheddar and horseradish cheese spread
2-16 Wasabi peas
2-16 Corn chowder soup
3-5 Large cashews
3-6 Assorted hard candies
3-10 Banana chips
3-27 Honey sesame cashews
4-1 Cracked wheat crackers
4-22 Trail mix.

Yep, it was a pretty good holiday celebration and it continues. Linden is blest.

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.
