The “our” has struck in Palm Springs.

Further emanations from the ghost of Gerald Ford. Or rather his publisher.

Hard to tell what exactly though. “FlatSigned Press“ re-published the Warren Commission report two years ago with some later ad-ons from Ford. BULLETIN: OSWALD DID IT! It came in several versions, including the leather bound with a ribbon marker edition. For extra swank and to keep one foot in the conspiracy camp, you could order the boxed $889 version, containing “artifacts from the Oak Tree and White Picket Fence from the “Grassy Knoll!” ” Classy!

Then in April this year they published still another edition, retitled “A Presidential Legacy and The Warren commission.” And lord only knows what’s in this one.

The breathless and way incoherent press release tries to hint at everything, then wanders off into dead ends.

“This week is the first ever anniversary since the passing of all members of the Warren Commission. The book, “A Presidential Legacy and The Warren Commission,” provides a new look into the mind of a former president in his final years and is the only source for Ford’s final written words in book format on the subject of the John F. Kennedy assassination, 9-11 and other major events of American history leading up to his death just months ago in December of 2006…A major retailer had negotiated for an exclusive offering of the hand- signed version of this book but later backed out fearing negative ramifications. So the American people heard this news because they heard it here.”

And more:

.” President Ford specifically and by name, debunked Oliver Stone’s theories and his movie and for the first time anywhere, gave us great information about how his brief administration and key figures he appointed then, still determine policy for the American people.”

How exactly did good old Gerry Ford fall in with these shysters?

The Berlin Wall has been down 18 years today, but America never tires of the old concrete chunks left over. Pieces grace all your finer Presidential Libraries, no matter how strained their relationship is to the Wall.

And we usually display them West side out with all the pretty graffiti.

Roosevelt: only link is this hideous sculpture made by a Churchill Granddaughter from Wall.

Truman: see where she got the semi-human shapes above? Still more Churchill relative art at Westminster College where Truman invited Churchill to let rip.

Eisenhower: none – Wall but a gleam in Walter Ulbrecht’s eye then.

Kennedy: because it was built on his watch?

Johnson: sadly, no.

Nixon: because it existed simultaneously with his Presidency?

Ford: same as above, and US established diplomatic relations with DDR.

Carter: none.

Reagan: leapt into the future and tore down his own-self.

Plus one inside:

Plus at the Ronald Reagan Building in DC:

Plus one at the “Reagan Ranch” [downhill from it in Santa Barbara]:

Bush: fell while in office.

Another, indoors:

Other Americans have different ways of displaying the Wall:

Oh, How We Laughed

It was a simpler era. America was at peace, thanks to Congress tying the President’s hands.

Then the passage of time dimmed memories, and somehow allowed a bland two year interregnum to become America’s lost years of innocence.

Now an exciting new coffee table book of Ford Era photos is offered up for your page turning pleasure.

Richard Norton Smith, Presente!

[and what’s the deal with him being on the White House web site?]

The Los Angeles Times provides a Chief Executive map of the stars in the wake of Dennis Kucinich’s claim to have seen UFOs.

And a link for what one hopes is the definitive site on the topic: www.presidentialufo.com .

Kucinich joins the chain of greats from Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan

Even salt-of-the-earth Gerry Ford would bow to the Alien Interest on occasion:
