Lesson Plan 
An interactive kids exhibit at the Reagan Library will allow the youngsters to reenact the Grenada invasion, only in this Urgent Fury we don’t have to pretend to care about the stranded medical students!
Nominal Subjects 
“The year is 1983. The United States is in the middle of the Cold War, and the communist Cuban military is building an airport on the small Caribbean island of Grenada. How should the U.S. respond?”
Whoo! The Air Force One Discovery Center at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum features it’s very own a pocket oval office 
[not to be confused with the full sized one for the whole family] 
and an air force one simulator [apparently real presidents issue their terse commands exclusively while airborne.]
Loser 
Your Washington Times continues to perform magnificently as the daily diary of the Confederate Dream. Their latest is an esquisitly detailed roundup on all the festivities unfolding in this, the Jefferson Davis Bicentennial Year.
The creepy efforts to ape real President’s commemorations will be at full force in 2008. There appear to be at least two reenactments of Davis’s swearing in as secessionist President, and strained efforts to tie Davis to Black History Month have been presented with a straight face. The festive schedule will climax with the the reopening of the Davis Beauvoir home in Gulfport Mississippi, the “Mount Vernon of the Confederacy.”
Beauvoir was largely destroyed by Hurricane Katrina,
proving there is a God. 
The neighboring Davis “Presidential Library” was flattened. 
Its all being rebuilt at a cost of $20 million, provided in part by serial bankrupt Donald Trump and the federal government, over the objections of the NAACP.
But for all this, the first Davis oath reenactment attracted a few hundred. The post-Katrina relaunch of Beauvoir was so sparsely attended they used odd cropping to hide the size of the crowd. 
The Lost Cause appears to be getting loster.
BFF! 
In the tradition of his predecessors, George W. Bush has proudly affirmed he’ll take overseas money for his Presidential Library, and makes no promises he’ll disclose any of it. Bush spoke to a news conference last week.
Q Any restrictions on who can give? Will you take foreign money for this?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, I’ll probably take some foreign money, but don’t know yet, Ken. We just haven’t — we just announced the deal and I, frankly, have been focused elsewhere, like on gasoline prices and, you know, my trip to Africa, and haven’t seen the fundraising strategy yet. So the answer to your question, really, I can’t answer your question well.
Q Where does the people’s right to know this fit into all that?
THE PRESIDENT: We’re weighing, taking a look, taking consideration, giving it a serious consideration. Nice try, though.
Kennedyesque, Or Merely Kennedyish? 
The son Jack Kennedy never had now alleges conspiracies he can’t explain.
Jack Worthington has a problem. Having outed himself as a possible illegitimate child of John F. Kennedy, and with Vanity Fair casting doubt on his story, the Canadian resident has been reduced to throwing out crackpot theories about how other Kennedy stories are being circulated to distract attention from his fascinating self.
That’s his version of the Dallas District Attorney miscellaneous assassination file release.
Worthington told The Vancouver Sun:
“I think anyone would have to question the timing…It’s just my hunch that this DA decided to come clean partially because he [or the investigators] feared something would be exposed by the Vanity Fair story.”
Good luck on that Jack!
Worthington offered many delights before his story sank, not least of which was the triumphant return of ex George Bush sister-in-law Sharon Bush, former wife of Bush family Wastrel whore-hound Neil Bush. The former Worthington girlfriend played an auxiliary role in his negotiations with the magazine.
Blame Canada
