Remembering history the way they wished it had been
Good news from the watery Philippines, where tragic flooding ends on a happy note. Renowned shoe fetishist and drag queen ideal Imelda Marcos’s shoe collection at the Marikina Shoe Museum was plucked from the rising waters by quick thinking museum staff.
Now the Marcos family can concentrate on the career of Strongman Scion Bong-Bong Marcos.

  Enduring!     
With the dedication of the Capitol’s Ronald Reagan statue, our nation’s capital now celebrates our most beloved deceased president at National Airport,
a trade center, Â 
and the “Ronald Reagan Republican Center,” command post for
present Senate clinging to power efforts.
The nation as a whole remains under threat. Mrs. Reagan was not just in town for shroud tugging.
In order to add to their already obscene piles ‘o cash:
Bye Bye For Now!  
President’s History Day Month has only furthered the obscurity and disrespect of “America’s Only Bachelor President,” James Buchanan. First, C-Span’s poll of presidential history guys ‘n gals on the go confirmed his spot at te bottom of the POTUS opinion sweepstakes. And now his Pennsylvania estate has had to collapse itself into the arms of a local historical society in order to stay afloat.
Buchanan’s Wheatland estate’s staff had dwindled to two, and its membership to 500, when the Lancaster County Historical Society beckoned. The deal is being presented as a marriage, but Wheatland is now just an option on the Society’s web-page.
Buchanan’s administration is recalled for his staying very still as the Civil War approached, and for the invention of the ghastly title “First Lady,” which in his case was his niece.
An exciting future of failed president reenactors lies ahead!

C-SPAN’s presidential historian survey holds many thrills: the inexorable rise of Bill Clinton, how far from bottom    
George W. Bush has settled, but the historians themselves hold their own excitement.
The mysteries of “presidential historian” credentialing are many, and among this crew are some rather odd characters.
In his writings Joseph Persico confused Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt, confused Teddy’s daughter’s name with his sister’s, and got the year Roosevelt was elected in his own right wrong.
Stanley Renshon is perhaps best known for utterly missing the point of Stephen Colbert’s legendary appearance at the White House Correspondents Dinner.  
Colbert’s jolly mockery of the media’s deference to President Bush was the evening’s theme, but in Renshon’s view it was all terrible les majesty aimed at Bush.
The utterly weird Paul Kengor tosses off articles with titles like “What Bush And Moses Have In Common,” and loses himself in reveries over Ronald Reagan’s life-guarding and the 77 lives he claims he saved:
Carl Sferrazza Anthony’s claim to fame is as Historian for the highly dubious National First Ladies Library, absorbing most of their salaries not paid to the wife of their former Congressional patron.
Who Is The Real Michelle Obama? 
Alarms are being sounded over First Lady Michelle Obama forays into the policy realm, as she made the first of what are promised to be more federal agency visits. Mrs. Obama has touted Obama Administration policies recently at both the Housing & Urban Development and Education Departments.
First Lady historian Myra Gutin told The New York Times she is disappointed:
A different view was expressed in November, when The President’s Partner: The First Lady in the Twentieth Century author Dr. Myra Gutin looked ahead:
But as First Lady historian Myra Gutin cautioned the Washington Times last June:
