WE PROFESS TO LOVE OUR CHILDREN

I suppose Linden would be more completely honest if the title were “You Profess…” At a time in our history, particularly in the political arena we rarely go a week without hearing “We must do this or that for the children!”

Please recite for me the names of those sitting in the Congressional hall of shame who are concerned enough about “our children” to oppose the unconscionable waste of money (borrowed from these same children) that is being thrown to who knows where in the name of bailing out some entity that ignored the rules of capitalism.

Granted, in the instance of the ailing financial institutions, the fault was more with certain members of Congress that it is/was with the lenders themselves. Barney Frank spent years assuring questioners that Fannie and Freddie were solid, well funded and well managed. Now, those thousands of Massachusetts’s voters who participated in his re-election have demonstrated that they love him more than they do their own children who have been saddled with mountainous debt through his incompetence.

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.
