Boston’s John F. Kennedy Presidential Library is turning that frown upside down for Presidents Day, showing off a Kennedy error for the holiday.
Then Senator Kennedy acquired A. Lincoln by Ross F. Lockridge from the Library of Congress at some point during his time on the Hill, and never returned it.

From Ronald Reagan’s Favorite Newspaper comes word of posthumous woes for the real estate legacy of the man he almost beat in 1976, Gerry Ford.
 Human Events reports that Ford’s former Arlington Virginia home, dead in the market since at least 2006, has had it’s sale price chopped again, to $800,000.

Light-hearted jibes about torture were in the house Sunday at DC’s Alfalfa Club dinner.
The annual gathering of Washington’s great and good is of course a temple of good natured joshing amongst the elite, the very pinnacle of our treasured bipartisanship. Thus Barack Obama found himself making light of the founding purpose of this entirely white until the 1970s dinner, honoring Robert E. Lee.
The sparkling event was brightened even more by the podium styling of “Jumping” Joe Lieberman, who the Washington Post reports wow’d them with topical laughs.
Lieberman’s rib-tickler sprang from Dick Cheney’s mysterious back-injury-while-moving-offices. “I had no idea waterboards were so heavy,” quipped the Nutmeg State Senator.
