A Bridge Too Far Gone?

You Complete Me clinton-library-gap-bridge.jpg

The Clinton Library opened in 2004 with incessant bridge imagery physical and rhetorical, but some disgruntled locals claim something is missing: a bridge.

Build Our Bridge claims the Library agreed to renovate a nearby railroad bridge as a condition of acquiring city property. References to the bridge’s glossy future do litter the landscape, it even got a mention in the failed Baylor University bid for the George W. Bush Presidential Library.

The Clinton Library still says bridge repair is in the works, and they continue to sell clinton-stones.JPG l stone markers to finance the project.

By happy coincidence the public face of the bridge builders is Gene Pfeifer, whose land was seized by Little Rock while assembling the Clinton project property.

Fish Story

There it will join the shrines to tiny foes created rumsfeld-saddam.jpg

and destroyed noriega-manuel.jpg and the salutes to Patriot Missiles, which may or may not have helped.

The Nixon family has long enjoyed a special relationship with African Americans.

And now a Nixon daughter endorses Obama!

reagan-conect-your-name-to-rr-forever.jpg Saying the unspeakable to the unsavory, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels has dared remind the Republican faithful that Ronald Reagan has not been with us for some time, and isn’t likely to return

Daniels addressed a Washington DC conservative gathering, boldly saying “we need to look towards the future rather than staying in the past.”

Don’t Answer

“Never Happened. Got It?” bush-bongo.jpg

A federal judge has ordered the Bush White House to produce Secret Service records of White House visitors, but the Administration argued in Federal Appeals Court Monday that the President’s advice seeking cloak of invisibility covers all entering the White House grounds.

The Bushies introduced a novel scheme to avoid disclosure: the Secret Service checks you in, passes the record to the White House staff, then destroys it’s own record. Presto, nothing to see here!

The AP says a hearing judge summed up the White House defense of Groundskeeper Willie:
