RETIREMENT

FAITH without works is dead. James 2:26
CHANGE unidentified may hold danger. L. Swift 2008
HOPE without definition is meaningless. L. Swift 2008

RETIREMENT...
is not supposed to work like this! The retiree is supposed to sleep late, go to bed early and spend the intervening hours watching mindless TV shows. Preferably shows where there is much laughing or listening to tales of woe or absolute depravity while learning to laugh when gouged by the laugh track. Linden's TV will probably not be turned on today.
Tuesday for Linden started with posting the blog. Then, there was the instant oatmeal and coffee, trip to a grocery for candy supplies, coffee with friends, another grocery for staples, to the post office and back home. Then, there was a call from the CD duplicator, a trip to the printer and on to see his mechanic. All will require further action on Wednesday. By then, it was after lunch time.
Much of the afternoon was spent in trying to forward a bio to the newspaper for their Election Guide issue. The bio was supposed to contain a picture but Linden simply could not make that work. So, later, after two or three efforts, he managed to forward a picture by email that will, hopefully, suffice.
After consuming one of Linden's delicious home-cooked meals, Linden was off for a long meeting in the evening. It was late when he returned home and to say he was tired is an understatement indeed. There was no time to think of any election matters other than a thought or two regarding his own campaign. Maybe tomorrow, he thought.

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.
