Future Unknown! 
Rev. Andrew J. Weaver is a leader in the opposition to the Bush Library at Southern Methodist University. He is responding to claims that the Methodist General Conference vote referring the question to local Methodist leaders is meaningless.
“ If this vote has no moral or legal force and is, “merely proceduralâ€, why did General Conference bother bringing it to a vote in the first place? …The petition against the Bush project could have been killed in committee, dozens were, but it passed the important Ministry and Higher Education Committee by a vote of 51 to 5. It could have easily been killed on the floor, but it was not. Instead it was formally referred by a vote of 844-20 to the owners of the SMU property.“

A fugitive from American fraud and bribery charges since the 1970s, Robert Vesco may have died in Cuba, which jailed him for a more than a decade.
The Associated Press reports that a Robert Vesco died and was buried last year in Havana, but quotes an American writer who interviewed Vesco as having doubts.
Nixon Man 
A $200,000 bribe to Nixon’s Committee to Re-Elect the President over a Securities & Exchange Commission investigation was among the charges that led Vesco to flee the US.
Before the fall Vesco collected the bad seeds of several First Families.
Vesco knew failed restaurateur and Nixon brother Donald Nixon, who testified at the bribe trial, and employed Donald Nixon Jr. One of Franklin Roosevelt’s sons was also charged by the SEC.
Vesco ended up in Cuba after hiding out in several Caribbean nations. Among other dubious schemes he worked with Donald Junior on aids cures before the Cubans jailed him for 13 years. Nixon got off with a month’s house arrest.
Seat Of Power 
Having once born the assess of greatness, a wooden bench returns to it’s humble place of origin, the Milwaukee Journal.
John and Jackie Kennedy brought the Kennedy Magic to Milwaukee in the 1960 campaign, and a now storied piece of furniture had it’s brush with greatness. After a wandering career as retirement gift to a newspaper executive, the bench on which history’s fun couple sat is going back to the Journal courtesy of current owners The Nature Conservancy.
The furniture’s fate when the paper goes to that great recycling bin in the sky is unknown.
Never Be Empty Headed 
Ronald Reagan earrings, $10.
Former Mexican President Vicente “Even Blacks” Fox threatens to open the first ever Mexican Presidential Library Monday.
It’ll be great.
Es Muy, Muy Autentico! 
His web page is already filled with endless caption-less photographs the nature of which we can only speculate about. This appears to be the bottom of an alien transport vacuum device. 
Who’s coming to the opening?
Probably not Gorge Bush. President Bush started out all buddy-buddy, but despite their shared love of endangered species cowboy boots, Bush’s interest in close-in neighborhoods faded when a middle east tear-down became available. And more recently Fox called out Bush’s cowboy schtick, recalling that he was afraid of horses.
There’s always fellow after office investigatee Brian Mulroney.
Mulroney appears to have time on his hands, and he ought to done flogging his eleven hundred page memoirs by now.
