Home Alone 
A promised summer exhibit of entries is postponed, but White House Redux contestants will be battling it out for the favor of judges until Fall.
The goal is redesigning the two hundred year old presidential mansion to reflect it’s present lofty status. There are 831 contest entries, and the friskier of them are deployed on the youtube.
Some plumb the depths of public ignorance 
on where the White House is located, while others set the house free to wander the countryside. 
Our Gang 
The last member of one of the first bank robbery gangs to use Nixon masks has finally been caught.
Eighty-Four year old Carmine Jannece and colleagues robbed a Michigan bank 17 years ago, shortly after release of the film “Pointbreak” . The movie featured a gang wearing presidential masks, and spawned a wave of copycat First Robbers which has yet to stop.
Also Halloween costumes, and T-Shirts. 
You Don’t Say 
Just as they were getting all contemporary with a blog, comes word that the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Library & Museum’s hours will be cut back.
The Library is housed in the Northampton Massachusetts public library, which is making general cutbacks.
“We will take your concept, idol or mentor and create a mammoth statue out of it.”
The Dream 
…And The Ditch 
The vision is taking hold at the Venice of Houston.
Historic Real Estate Inc. – so steeped in, um, something, is building the weirdest incarnation yet of one man’s obsession with gigundus presidential heads.
David Adickes‘s gift to the nation is his obsession with immense busts of our revered former leaders. He already has theme parks centered on these First Oddities in South Dakota and Virginia, but it will be so much nicer with tour boats. And shopping. Somehow the mystery of Easter Island paired with the likes of Marvin Van Buren will draw swarms of Cinnabon munchers.
Adickes’s anything to draw a crowd spirit has already led to the heads use as backdrop to a
rap video. 
Think water ballet!
