Need I point out, Republicans all
The ever-changing rankings of George Bush by historians and in popular opinion can fill hours of fun, but Warren Harding stands like a rock in the ranks of bad presidents.
And Canada remembers!
From the Dominion comes a stirring YouTube salute to the little mourned Ohioan, who became the first President to visit Canada on his ill-fated Western journey towards death in San Francisco’s Palace Hotel.

Who knew Vancouver had a Harding Memorial? 
Let’s harken back to that bygone era through Harding’s words:
“No grim-faced fortifications mark our frontiers, no huge battleships patrol our dividing waters, no stealthy spies lurk in our tranquil border hamlets. Only a scrap of paper, recording hardly more than a simple understanding, safe-guards lives and properties on the Great Lakes, and only humble mile posts mark the inviolable boundary line for thousands of miles through farm and forest.”
“I would love to see a President Huckabee because if our president were named ‘Huckabee,” how bad could anything really seem?… It’d be as if the entire country was animated by Hanna Barbera. Can you imagine the Huckabee Monument?” 
– Stephen Colbert
Presentation is key
Excitement builds around the Bush Library reopening after renovation, and KBTX [“Your exclusive home for coverage of the remodeling“] has caught the fever. They are retailing the Bush Library’s claims of exclusive seating in it’s new Oval Office recreation:
“The Bush Museum will also present the only Oval Office exhibit that allows visitors to sit in the “seat of power†and have their photo taken behind the President’s desk. “
But the private sector has already answered this need.
You can have your picture taken sitting in a fake oval office and sign a fake Executive Order at the American Presidents Museum, nestled amidst the full family fun of Branson Missouri. Just try to ignore the presidential seal the size of a snow tire.
The “Show Me State” es muy, muy authentico!
Another round in the apparently never-to-be-exhausted trove of Kennedy assassination legends and lore.
A fight with the Central Intelligence Agency over withholding documents possibly touching on presumed assassin Lee Harvey Oswald has attracted support from the full spectrum, from Oswalddiditists like Vincent Bugliosi 
to whatever in hell Oliver Stone‘s position is. 
The documents involve the CIA handler of Cuban exiles Oswald encountered in New Orleans 
and their murky relations.
It was like old times for Representative Duncan Hunter at the Orlando Republican Presidential debate.
Specifically 1961. 
While most of the GOP candidates are content to bask in the warm glow of Ronald Reagan single-handedly toppling the Berlin Wall, Hunter has other roll back campaigns in mind. He’s going after Fidel! 
Or at least making the claim that Kennedy sold out the Bay of Pigs []Playa Giron] invasion, launching the lily-livered “Democrat” party of today.
A bold statement considering who held office 
when Castro came to power, and which administration cooked up the invasion. [The hearty endorsement of our death-squad allies in El Salvador is also refreshing]
“This is a historic venue.(APPLAUSE)
You know, 300 miles off this coast is a place where another party, once a great party, the Democrat Party, lost its identity. And that’s when, in 1961, the Cuban freedom fighters were struggling with a toehold on the beach, trying to take back Cuba from Castro and a Democrat president with an aircraft carrier sitting a few miles offshore said we will not help the freedom fighters.
And a thousand miles away from there is El Salvador, where a Republican president, Ronald Reagan, hung tough, brought freedom to El Salvador.
HUNTER: And you know something? Today, they are fighting side by side with our guys in Iraq.
(APPLAUSE)
We’re the party of freedom.”
