OIL

OIL

Linden was in complete agreement with the Wednesday monologue delivered by Rush Limbaugh. In it, he said that each presidential candidate, member of congress and journalist should be asked "why do we need more oil?" The logical answer should then be, "more oil will reduce prices." He also mentioned a House bill that was passed by a large majority on Tuesday. It would authorize the filing of suit against OPEC. No wonder these clowns have an approval rating lower than that of the President!

Apparently the bill passed by a 324 to 84 margin. Perhaps it is because Linden is not adept at finding information or because of his dial-up connection, but he was unable to find the voting breakdown on this bill. He also saw no mention of it in his daily paper. He would expect that practically every democrat voted for it and that they were joined by a large number of feckless republicans. Further, he would expect the 84 to be almost entirely Conservative Republicans.

While this large group of irresponsible, yet well paid, disgraces are pointing fingers at OPEC, the oil companies or the President, they themselves are the problem.

LINDEN'S LIFE

Little worthy of mention happened to Linden on Monday or Tuesday: Certainly the nine holes of golf he played should never be mentioned. Wednesday brought the last Study Buddy session of the year and Linden was sent home with a plate of delicious chocolate chip cookies and a very nice note from the teacher, Krissy Robbins. For lunch, he met a former credit union associate and had some really delicious cheese soup and a pot roast sandwich. The evening brought a good dinner at Church and a following interesting program. Within the day, Linden received several appreciated email messages. He can think of not one thing (other than congress and the presidential candidates) to complain about.
