Finding Their Voice 
A belated salute to the good people of Butler County Ohio, who have resisted, and reversed, the endless wave of Reagan-naming Republicans who aim to stick the Teflon President’s name on every hill and dale.
Butler County is the proud home of “Voice of America Park,” located on the site of
the former VOA Bethany Relay Station ,which some hope to develop into a museum of cold war broadcasting. The park is a merger of Butler County’s “Reagan Voice of Freedom Park,” with paddle boat rentals on a fake pond, and West Chester Township’s “Voice of America Park,” which holds the former VOA facility. 
Reagan’s name didn’t make the cut in the conjoined park, despite the mad dreams of some Butler County Republicans.
Watch It! 
From the first, the stakes could not have been higher:
“Because Mrs. Clinton seeks our nation’s highest office and may well be the next President of the United States, the public interest weighs heavily in favor of enjoining the Library from continuing to withhold the records at issue.â€
And so the judicial activists of Judicial Watch launched their quest, only the latest chapter in their decades long quest to prove something somehow on the Clintons.
But they were late to the party.
Judicial Watch’s document request to the National Archives’ Clinton Presidential Library came after many others, and 
dwarfed any request for presidential papers, ever.
The Watchers sought to focus on the UFO requester in line before them, but now a federal judge has ruled that rushing Judicial Watch’s request out of the archives would hurt the people in front of them.
“Judicial Watch must abide by the kindergarten commandment to wait one’s turn,” U.S. District Judge James Robertson said.”
THRILLING NEWS! 
Somehow Presidential Libraries have joined Nigerian Princesses as a spam generative-worthy category. One blogger reports a Mrs. Oswald soliciting funds in her capacity as “Presidential Library & Museum Former Director International Online Lottery Co-coordinator.”
We have arrived!
Would That It Were So 
George W. Bush’s pet National Archivist Allen Weinstein brought a message of hope to the dreamed of future home of Bush’s Presidential Library , and offered proof of just how differential to power he is.
Weinstein assured the Southern Methodist University commencement crowd that the Bush Library will gussy up SMU’s image, 
even the Fantastic Freedom Institute., once that darn popularity gets turned around.
“Even most opponents of the proposed independent Bush Policy Institute acknowledge that a popular, well-run presidential library center will redound to the benefit of SMU.“
The man who has watched the Bush administration lose millions of presidential documents with no apparent response is unsurprisingly calm about the prospect that Bush will bury his past in the vaults.
The secret is showing your sensitive side.
Weinstein claims that Lyndon Johnson’s image is on the upswing because the Johnson Library released tapes of him agonizing over Vietnam.
“This is the kind of gamble other presidential families will be more likely to try now, and perhaps be less fearful about.”
But thanks to Richard Nixon this isn’t supposed to a decision by “presidential families.” The documents belong to the public, and the families would have no role if the courts or Congress overturned George W. Bush’s executive order letting ex presidents and their children after them hide papers.
Kings of Comedy 
From the video wizards of Guba comes an oddity in the Reagan canon: his appearance in a TV “roast” staged as part of the desperately unfunny Dean Martin Show. 
All the greats are there – Don Rickles, Philis Diller, Dom DeLuise, and Jack Benny as the Ghost of Comedy Past. The jokes are lame, even allowing for the era , but Reagan laughs like he’s present at the birth of comedy.
