100 LABORERS, 5 LOONIES
The 100 mentioned in the title of this posting refers to the estimated number of Republicans who have been active on the House floor, pleading for Nancy Pelosi to return from vacation and do something positive.
Linden does not have the words in his vocabulary to adequately express his appreciation for Mike Pence (R-IN) and those other Republicans who are valiantly trying to get the oil drilling question addressed. Nor is Linden able to express his low regard for Pelosi and the group of democrats she leads.
Has it occurred to the democrats that their long term inaction may very well be part of the reason that Russia invaded Georgia? Are they partially responsible for the loss of life there? Do they not know (or do they not care) that oil needs are the driving force in all international commerce?
Running a close second for the “Most Ineffective Group” award is the lackluster U.S. Senate under Harry Reid (D-NV.) It would take a certified optimist to expect positive results from the democrat majority that exercises control over the Senate.
Sadly, 5 Republican Senators (Loonies) have joined with 5 democrat members of this far from distinguished group mentioned above. This “bi-partisan” group has cobbled together a plan that will, in Linden’s estimation, do nothing other than further delay any desirable action in regard to the oil crisis.
Perhaps, except for the 100 or so Republicans, Congress is at its best when on vacation!

LINDEN'S LIFE
Monday: Walked about a mile at Church while I was waiting to have a short meeting. Worked outside a little. Took John & Ruth Chestnut, their children, Nathan, Lydia and Hannah plus a native Kosovar, Skender Zeqiri, to dinner at Goody’s. Dinner probably lasted a couple of hours and was really pleasant.
Tuesday: GOP Roundtable breakfast meeting at 7:00 followed by 9 holes of golf. Probably my best 9 of the year: Parred two holes. It looks like I may have a high speed internet connection soon: They started the preliminary work in the evening.
Wednesday: Took picture copies of our dinner meeting to Ruth Chestnut and we visited a while. Later, John and Nathan brought the key to me and they left for Ohio. Julie called for a long visit. I took my Vietnamese friend, Thuc, to Gray’s for his belated birthday dinner. We had a nice visit. Somebody made a mistake today and cut down my sickly looking butterfly bush: I hope I can save it.
