The  Dallas Morning News reports that all is not lost for Southern Methodist University/Bush Library opponents. The opening comes next July, when SMU asks the United Methodist Church South Central Jurisdictional Conference to approve the library.

History is in these delegates hands!

President Bush may continue to sit on his pile of secrets, thanks to Kentucky Junior Senator Jim Bunning. A bill to overturn Bush’s executive order allowing Presidents and their families to block document releases into eternity has passed the House. Now Bunning has blocked a Senate vote.

Bush’s order essentially reversed a Reagan executive order, which had implemented years of Congressional efforts to open the books.

In other news, madcap antics to hide White House emails continue

Pen wraps paper.

The DC Madame Tussauds opens soon, and as part of the build up they are doing stunt arrivals. A sadly

And yes, America’s hunger for Oval Office replication will be satisfied!

There’s the conversation starter!

Local Semi Valley officials are contemplating the next step at the Ronald Reagan City-Upon-A-Hill, err, Presidential Library.

Alongside the popular grave and Air Force One concessions they envision a luxury hotel, hoping to capture tourist dollars now spent elsewhere. The Ronald Reagan Master Suite and tours from off site hotels [see “events & packages”] are apparently not enough.

With the possible additional benefit of doing Nixon down!
