Magic Never To Be Repeated nixon-tricia-nixon-and-the-turtles.png

The Jenna Bush Crawford wedding buildup sheds light on a puzzling past White House wedding.

nixon-tricia-paper-doll.jpgThe Associated Press consults Katherine Jellison, history prof and author of “It’s Our Day,” who points out how Iraq keeps the Bush family from going all out:

“This is going to be such a different kind of situation from Tricia Nixon’s wedding …The frivolity of a big White House wedding in the middle of an unpopular war would have used up what little political capital he has.”

Touching De Void

Just Because judicial-watch-graphic.jpg

The already Clinton-crazed kids at Judicial Watch face further proof that the world is against them. Their endless litigation to force someone, anyone, to disclose, admit, or just fess up to Hillary Clinton’s dark deeds has stalled.

latest.jpg A major hangup is the vastness of their National Archives requests colliding with practical limits to how fast Archives can shuffle Clinton, or any, papers.

“At an estimated three million pages, the size and scope of Judicial Watch’s present FOIA request makes it the largest FOIA request that the Clinton presidential library has received to date…Further, the request is greater than any FOIA request ever received to date at any of the presidential record act libraries.“

Archives handles requests first come, first serve, and in line ahead of The Watchers are a different species of crank. Grant Cameron trolls the Clinton and other Presidential Library files for proof of UFOs. ufo-pols.jpg

And “The Mainstream Media’s Lonely UFU Blog” reports Cameron is poised to further annoy The Watchers. He’s endorsing Hillary Clinton as best on the little green men question.

“She … would be the most fearless individual to find and take on the secret UFO cabal”

From East Africa comes word of an unexpected memento of the Bush era.

And to show off his son, George Bush.

Name Project

Start Fresh? reagan-ucla-medical-center.jpg

A billion dollars later they haven’t managed to open the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, and now sassy petitioners want to yank his name from the hulking hospital to be.

“Why was the UCLA Medical Center named for Ronald Reagan? Who was consulted? Did the decision-makers forget his shameful abdication of leadership in the fight against AIDS, some of the earliest cases of which were reported at UCLA?”
