The SMU Daily Campus reports that the University finally announces the Bush Library Friday.

Watch the skies!

Stuffed

Opponents of the proposed Oyster Bay Long Island Theodore Roosevelt museum call the trim, new look museum proposal a mess still. TheSaveFiremansFieldians look at the numbers, and say cutting the Roosevelt’s size a non-response to the real questions.

“The fact of the new “scaled back” version of the TR Museum does nothing to change the fact that the Firemen’s Field site in Oyster Bay is approached by only two lane roads from a perimeter area of 5 miles. How will the little Hamlet of Oyster Bay be able to handle all that traffic. After first indicating the museum would attract 500,000 visitors a year, the Theodore Roosevelt Association has now scaled back that projection to just 100,000 visitors a year, in a vein attempt to make the proposal more attractive to the hamlet. Even 100,000 visitors would swamp our little community, but the fact is that the original figure of 500,000 – at LEAST that – is far more accurate.”

And the Field Savers aren’t standing still. They’ve invaded the myspace, with the stirring cry,

“ Groups and individuals with parking concerns should join with us to defend the field.”

Looking Elsewhere

As the Bush Legacy tour makes the rounds in Africa, the President has sunk to new lows with the American public at home.

George Bush is marking President’s Day Week by falling below 20%, a record new low.

Circling the Wagons?

As a great man once said, “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are,“i.e., try and settle for what you can get.

In that spirit, the proposed Theodore Roosevelt now proposes to scale back, trying to disarm critics focused on it’s size and location. A proposed Oyster Bay Long Island site has attracted opponents, and in the new scheme as much as 30% of the proposed 100,000 square foot structure would be hived off to put elsewhere.

Crimes of State

From RateMySpace comes the outcome of aiming low: replicating the august magic magic of the White House – Home-style!

The Reagan bust on the shelf shows the path of destiny, and the Presidential Seal on the wall says, yes, I am trying for that look.
