STORY SELECTION
As a five day a week blogger, Linden would never say that settling on the subject of the day is always an easy task. That is because what he produces is, generally speaking, an opinion piece.
Reporting on the news of the day should be much easier: an event occurs, it has some significance on some aspect of the life of some person, the reporter develops his/her version of the facts, the editor makes a decision as to whether to run with it or not. The cycle continues.
Recently the major “news” disseminators decided that their readers or listeners should be exposed to a story about how some black members of Congress were treated terribly in a mostly verbal fashion. Although no proof accompanied this story and it was largely thought to be fictional in nature, it received wide and continuing coverage.
More recently an incident of a provable physical assault occurred in New Orleans. It is receiving wide and continuing coverage by those who disseminate their message via the Internet but virtually no coverage at all by those MSM sources that so many count on to fulfill the function of responsible journalism. Since both of the incidents mentioned above have political implications, it becomes obvious that the MSM places true reporting below political considerations. This probably will not be the last piece that Linden writes on this general subject.

LINDEN'S LIFE
Friday brought Men’s Prayer Breakfast at 6:00 and household related activities later. My computer was difficult to work with.
Saturday went for the Kingsway meeting at 7:30 but Lindsay, our leader, wasn’t there so the meeting was shortened and there was no breakfast. Later, Lindsay advised that he became sick as he was on his way to the meeting. Had a nice note from Dimi in Austria, a long conversation with Joyce who had just returned from a poetry meeting in Vermont, and a note from Gayle saying that Mike O’Brien had passed away.
Sunday brought church, Sunday school, and brunch in the morning. Madonna, who used to be part of our four member “back row bunch”, is back for a visit and it was good to see her. Inactivity in the afternoon and church again in the evening.

SOME OTHER INVOLVEMENTS
READING. The daily paper, books when moved to do so, Internet commentaries and probably check on the following postings on a daily basis:
http://www.doerbitter.com/
http://sherbitter.livejournal.com/
http://www.hendrickscountygop.com/
WRITING AND PUBLISHING. Contact me at lswift8@aol.com to request information relative to ordering any of my eight books and one CD.
REACHING OUT. I normally contribute modestly in a number of areas. Now I also contribute a portion of book sales income to new or enhanced areas of support. I also accept contributions for this effort. I was so pleased with the 2009 results that I’m expanding the effort in 2010. New or expanded recipients in 2010 include:
January, TCM, Austria, ministry scholarship. http://www.tcmi.org/
February, Hillsdale College. www.hillsdale.edu
March, African ministry. http://www.kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com/
April, TCM, second scholarship payment
The Book Nook, 33 E. Main, Mooresville is a local source of Linden’s books and CD.
