SAXBY AND SARAH

In his postings last week, Linden mentioned both Thanksgiving and being thankful. December 2 brought another day of thanksgiving due to the election of Senator Saxby Chambliss in Georgia.

His election lessens the chances of the democrats having a filibuster proof Senate and thereby increases the probability of the Republicans being able to block the worst of what is sure to be a flood of undesirable liberal legislation. The election in Minnesota remains important but is less so than before the Chambliss win.

The democrats poured money and personnel into the campaign against Chambliss, but is was to no avail. He had several Republican heavy hitters campaign on his behalf but the real game changer was Governor Sarah Palin. He was effusive in his praise of her and admiration of her abilities. John McCain has found us a rare jewel!

LINDEN'S LIFE:
The door to Linden’s car was frozen shut (cursed global warming) as he attempted to drive to the regular Thursday breakfast meeting. Pouring water on it allowed the driver side door to be opened and, in reaching across to sit the teakettle on the passenger side floor, Linden spilled water in the driver’s side seat. Of course, he didn’t notice and sat in it as he drove off – had a freezing posterior for a while. Luckily, the rest of the day was uneventful.

GIFT GIVING:
Any of Linden’s six books or his first CD could be what you are looking for: They are inexpensive and not everybody has one.

The CD “Songs A Poor Old Police Department Retiree Might Write While Waiting For His Meager Pension Check” features Linden’s original compositions. The book subject matter ranges from political through poetry, baseball, prayer, cryptograms and Linden’s pilgrimage in Spain at age 75.
