Remembering history the way they wished it had been
Masked Man Meets Enigma 
Is Nixon selling him stamps?
They may not answer that question, but the Los Angeles Autry National Center is opening a what appears to be a thorough survey of Presidential Cowboy mythology. 
It’s all fun, although while providing a role model for John McCain, 
Theodore Roosevelt seems 
to carry the dress-up further than seems healthy.
Cox Up 
Fresh from his triumphant McCain delegate campaign in New York’s Republican primary, Nixon son-in-law and top chop Eddie Cox is wrestling with the big questions.
In an apparent debut as political pundit and prognosticator, Eddie says the Nixon method could resurrect fallen Governor Eliot Spitzer.
The prescription: “writing and doing things”
Brace yourself for a relentless parade of forgettable titles. 
One Man, Our Vote 
Greg Grandlin offers a roundup of one interested party’s role in the last twelve presidential elections, and perhaps on his last one.
“Fidel Castro, the First Superdelegate” clocks el Lider Maximo’s walk-ons and cameos over five decades.
Vote Early & Vote Often 
Churchillian? 
John McCain has launched a two minute mash note to Winston Churchill, Teddy Roosevelt, and himself.
With the subtlety for which the man from Arizona is known, it’s entitled “Man in the Arena,” a straight lift from Roosevelt’s salute to rule-over-the-lesser-races-and-no-fussy-backtalk. With Winnie’s greatest hits. Apparently, we’ll fight on the beaches.
Along with Churchill and Roosevelt, there’s at least a sidelong glance at another former leader. 
The ad begins with the camera floating forward through the clouds, not unlike the opening of Triumph of the Will before his plane lands.
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.
