Which One Is Not Like The Others? 
John McCain likes to present himself as a “foot soldier in the Reagan revolution,” but at times it’s more like the Nixon restoration. 
Smiles all around, or what passes for them, as John McCain marked his nomination victory in Texas. And who did he choose to spend this special moment with? Freddie “The Jew Counter” Malek!
Malek’s infamous Nixon mission to sniff out the hidden Jews of the Bureau of Labor Statistics is a fading memory, disappeared by the straight talkers flocking to the McCain banner.

President George W. Bush has chosen his Presidential Library site, if it holds, and architect, but you can still pick an alternative on the Chronicle of Higher Education website.
Our personal favorite is this handsome bunker. 
The sub-sections named after various Bush Administration scandals are kind of obvious, but the overall James Bond villain lair look is fab. 
The “Back-Of-The-Envelope Design contest” is open until March 20th.
It Was A Simpler Time…

An interactive kids exhibit at the Reagan Library will allow the youngsters to reenact the Grenada invasion, only in this Urgent Fury we don’t have to pretend to care about the stranded medical students!
“The year is 1983. The United States is in the middle of the Cold War, and the communist Cuban military is building an airport on the small Caribbean island of Grenada. How should the U.S. respond?”
Whoo! The Air Force One Discovery Center at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum features it’s very own a pocket oval office 
[not to be confused with the full sized one for the whole family]
and an air force one simulator [apparently real presidents issue their terse commands exclusively while airborne.]
Lost Leaders

Your Washington Times continues to perform magnificently as the daily diary of the Confederate Dream. Their latest is an esquisitly detailed roundup on all the festivities unfolding in this, the Jefferson Davis Bicentennial Year.
The creepy efforts to ape real President’s commemorations will be at full force in 2008. There appear to be at least two reenactments of Davis’s swearing in as secessionist President, and strained efforts to tie Davis to Black History Month have been presented with a straight face. The festive schedule will climax with the the reopening of the Davis Beauvoir home in Gulfport Mississippi, the “Mount Vernon of the Confederacy.”
Beauvoir was largely destroyed by Hurricane Katrina,
The neighboring Davis “Presidential Library” was flattened. 
Its all being rebuilt at a cost of $20 million, provided in part by serial bankrupt Donald Trump and the federal government, over the objections of the NAACP.
But for all this, the first Davis oath reenactment attracted a few hundred. The post-Katrina relaunch of Beauvoir was so sparsely attended they used odd cropping to hide the size of the crowd. 
The Lost Cause appears to be getting loster.
