Eisenhower: Soldiering On, & On
Ike-Like? 
As the nation struggles to comprehend the prospect of George W. Bush’s Wal-Mart Super Center sized “Presidential Library,” perhaps the last of its kind, a new front opens in America’s epic struggle to spend millions memorializing old pharaohs.
An Eisenhower memorial plaza in Washington DC is expected to cost $90 to $120 million!
It’s to be located across from the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum, commemorating the President the Russians beat into space. 
Bush’s father’s Library only cost $83 million, and it has walls and the beloved dancing palominos. 
The Ike plaza to be designed by quirky starchitect Frank Geary, whose famed misshapen blobs scar landscapes worldwide.
It’s not like Washington is starved for Eisenhower-named things. He already has the Eisenhower Theater at the Kennedy Center, and the vast Executive Office Building is named for him.
Insufficiently Ike-ish?
