IF

IF your are a regular reader of Linden’s postings, you know that he tends to be slightly politically conservative and also tends to believe the democrats are the source of most of the problems which have, and do, face society. In this regard, he has, on more than one occasion, mentioned disagreement with some of the editorial page writers whose works appears in the Indianapolis Star.

IF you have no imagination, you will be unable to grasp the following.

IF Linden were really, really rich and, IF newspapers were to mirror baseball teams, then, Linden would buy the Star. Recent issues of this paper have contained the works of at least 26 different editorial page writers. Linden will consider these 26 to be the pitching corps of his purchased team.

To this 26, Linden will immediately add Kyle-Anne Shiver: Her work has appeared in American Thinker and Pajamas Media; Cassandra Kane: Her work has appeared in Human Events; and, Sharon Herbitter a brainy blogger who is developing her first book: Having been exposed to some of it, Linden looks forward to it being published.

Personnel changes are common in baseball. So, Linden will immediately release Ken Bode, Connie Schultz, Dan Carpenter, Lee Hamilton and Sheila Kennedy.

Linden will trade Froma Harrop, Eugene Robinson, Ruben Navarette, Leonard Pitts, Marie Cocco, E.J. Dionne and cash to American Thinker and Pajamas Media for Shiver. He will then trade Roland Martin, Ellen Goodman and cash to Human Events for Kane. Sherbitter will come aboard as a free agent.
Now, with the pitching staff trimmed down to 16, the initial starting rotation will be Shiver, Charles Krauthammer, Jonah Goldberg, Cal Thomas and Kathryn Lopez.

Kane, Herbitter, George Will, Kathleen Parker, Michael Barone, Debra Saunders, Gary Varvel, Andrea Neal, Deroy Murdock, David Ignatius and David Broder will initially be assigned to the bullpen.

Naturally, there will be further changes if any of the above become ineffective or if Thomas Sowell, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Walter E. Williams or Mona Charen become available.

Linden will name this entire effort, ”Return To The Glory Days.”
