Err, not that one.
This would be the Bush Legacy Library, part of the University of New England’s George and Barbara Bush Center. They broke ground today on a building which will commemorate the First Bush’s many Maine vacations while addressing student snacking needs.
The memorabilia displayed will be on loan from the real Bush Senior library in College Station
The entity appears to have begun life as a far grander George and Barbara Bush Cultural Center:
“‘SETTING THE STAGE’
for the George and Barbara Bush Cultural Center
Plato addressed his students from the Academy, the most famous school in the classical world. President Theodore Roosevelt built the West Wing of the White House especially for high-level cabinet meetings. The New York Philharmonic began performing in the Apollo Rooms of lower Manhattan, but moved to Carnegie Hall, then the Lincoln Center as its prominence and popularity grew.
Great ideas, powerful conversations and brilliant performances need inspiring spaces to nurture and showcase them.”
It was gonna be something!
Richard Nixon remains America’s richest source of news from beyond the grave. In two pieces working off new Nixon transcripts and papers we have far richer detail of the great man’s Jewphobia.
Nailing Fred “The Jew Counter” Malek one more time is especially satisfying, with the release of his thoughtful reference to “the other demographic criterion that was discussed.” Malek is currently straight shooting for the McCain campaign.
We learn elsewhere that Nixon supported the release of the Nazi Rudolf Hess, Hitler’s former deputy.
Damp but determined.
Any opportunity to mention Bill Clinton singer/donor Denise Rich is a great day. But before we get all excited about Hillary Clinton and Clinton Library donors, lets recall where we are on Presidential Library disclosure.
Bill Clinton has spoken, and correctly pointed out that his Arab money is entitled to the same secrecy under current law as that of the former and current Presidents Bush.
Nothing is happening in the Senate on the disclosure bill, and a companion bill to overturn President George Bush’s secrecy in perpetuity executive order has been stalled by an apparently random Republican Senator from Kentucky.
And since when has Washington been squeamish about dubious money and it’s holders? Wave upon wave of baby showers have been organized recently by Washington wives and women with real jobs for the wife of the Ambassador of Kuwait, proud representative of their Filipino maid-raping homeland.
SMU has gone all unitary executive on the Methodist Church.
Opponents of the Bush Library locating at SMU are pressing for Church’s regional body, the Jurisdictional Conference, to block the expected Library. But the student paper says the University feels it has “all the permission they need” to build.
The Church’s Mission Council has signed off on the Library, but by the Church web site makes the Council a subordinate body to the Conference, acting between Conference meetings:
“The Mission Council is the governing body of the South Central Jurisdiction between Jurisdictional Conference sessions. The Council meets annually to discuss and make decisions regarding the operations of the Jurisdiction. “
Clinton Library Takes A Stand
Lame-ass joke cards declined, new era of taste in offing?
The Clinton Presidential Library shop has declined to stock the 2008 edition of Politicards, playing cards with big headed caricatures. And jokes!
Oh how we’ll laugh at yet another portrayal of Hillary Clinton as a ball buster. 
Peter Green claims to be a formerly liberal libertarian conservative who engages in “gently roasting each character with a non-partisan blend of comedy and insight.”
It’s like the Capitol Steps in stiff paper form!
The artist tries to assure us he has no point of view. “I can’t take a position politically…My position is to draw attention to the issue and the candidates . . . and definitely not take it too seriously.”
Hats off to the Clinton Library for joining with the other Presidential Libraries by dumping this drek, for whatever motives.
Taste is not assured however. We will always be haunted by their ghastly taste in music.
