Priced [Not] To Move   
Gerald Ford property speculator Kevin Hayes appears to be one of the silent victims of America’s unfolding banking tragedy, as Wall Street’s giant sucking sound diminishes the supply of marks willing to pay $15 million so they may walk the pool tiles where Gerry trod. 
Hayes has been trying to unload Ford’s former Colorado ski property since June. It’s only been shown to four qualified buyers, and he is trying increasingly desperate efforts to recapture that Ford Era magic.
With the materials at hand, Hayes paints a portrait of the great man in retirement, at work on his memoirs:
“Ford had a habit of rocking back and forth while writing, and so Hayes had the construction workers preserve a portion of the floor where the chair left grooves.”
Sadly, Ford published his autobiography in 1979, four years before the house was built.

All The People, All The Time 
The US Mint clambers aboard the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial with an offering of four exciting new designs to replace that tired old Lincoln Memorial.
Most problematic is the salute to Lincoln’s Kentucky birthplace, whose centerpiece is a cabin sometimes billed as the place of Lincoln’s birth.  
    The National Park Service administers the site, but even they acknowledge the building is a fake.

 “Revenge of the Lawn” seems to have something to do with cars, cicadas, and helicopters, but I invite your interpretation. 
A Very Special Agent 
The Washington Post reports new material on Gerry Ford’s proud past as one of our FBI Informant/Presidents.
Ford’s leaking on the Warren Commission to troglodytious J.Edgar Hoover has surfaced before, but the Post FOIA’d Ford’s FBI file, and has new detail.
Friend To All
Ford’s fellow Friend of the Bureau was of course Ronald Reagan.
Never To Be Forgotten  
Odessa Texas’s Presidential Museum is getting out while they can, trying to unload one of their inventory of former Midland-Odessa Bush homes.
This slice of rustic splendor and site of early Bush political disappointment 
 can be yours for the low, low price of $239,900!

Further up the food chain is this fab Ford property for sale in Beaver Creek Colorado. Only $15 million separates you from skiing like Gerry Fancypants. 
Sadly, the Bush property has knocked out one of the Ford home’s unique selling propositions,
“…. the even rarer distinction of being the only former president’s home for sale in the country.”
