OUR TO DO LIST

We are all familiar with to do lists – those things which have been identified as needing to be done but, as yet, may have not been addressed at all. The reason this posting calls it “our” list is because there are some things Linden will be unable to do.

It was probably Thursday when Linden heard a smattering of the Greg Garrison radio show that had to do with media bias. Linden can not be absolutely sure of what all was covered or when it was broadcast because he was so heavily involved in household tasks that he enjoys so much.

It seems to Linden that he heard that the main stream media, particularly the network “news,” were, on a continuing basis, devoting from 9 to 20 times the amount of coverage to Obama than they were to McCain. Linden suspects that is true.

Since Linden refuses to watch or listen to network “news,” it falls to you to address this matter. If it appears to be true, you do not need to report back to Linden and thereby run the risk of his questioning your judgment. You do need to complain to the advertisers who are supporting this reporting bias.

Perhaps Linden may be of some assistance in these three other items that are on the current to do list: (1.) Call attention to those Congressional Districts that do not field a Republican candidate; (2.) Attempt to place blame for this shameful situation; and, (3.) By means of email, blog postings and holding signs call attention to the fact that Congressional democrats support high gas prices. We will address who supports higher taxes later. Thank you in advance for all your to do list efforts.

LINDEN'S LIFE
Monday was uneventful. Tuesday, had early coffee with friends, played 9 holes of golf, received a call from a man I had hired before I retired over 12 years ago: Hadn’t talked to him since. He reminded me that he had bought one of Julie’s cars and was pleased with it.
Had an early breakfast Wednesday with the lady who was President of our credit union during the time I was on the Board of Directors. Thursday was the usual breakfast with Bill, Chuck, Jack and Paul. Later in the day, re-hung a Venetian blind that had fallen: This may be the first thing I’ve ever actually successfully repaired. By falling, it made me aware of what a mess was on the table it crashed into. Worked on that a bit and spent quite a bit of time looking for some papers that have seemingly disappeared.
