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.
Close Study 
The Methodist Church General Conference has voted to refer the fight over the Bush Library at Southern Methodist University to it’s regional body.
Initial reports had this as the Library’s end. Then the Dallas News Trailblazers blog rushed to assure:
The Bush lives!
“The Dallas blog Pegasus News is reporting that the “governing body of the United Methodist Church has come out against the George Bush Library being constructed on the campus of Southern Methodist University.”…Only problem is it isn’t true. Instead of approving a petition against the library, the UMC General Conference on Wednesday voted 844-20 to refer the matter to the South Central Jurisdiction’s conference scheduled for July in Dallas.”
Or maybe it’s another step closer to the grave. The Chicago Tribune‘s Swamp says Library opponents call the General Conference a victory that will force a real decision at the South Central meeting.
No Hope for Bush? 
The General Conference of the Methodist Church has come out against Southern Methodist University hosting the
George W. Bush Library. The Conference vote was 844 to 20.
SMU’s nominal landlord is the regional South Central Jurisdictional Conference, which meets in July, and may consider the matter.
Strenuous Denials! 
The Theodore Roosevelt Association accused past director Edward Renehan of stealing Association documents and he’s criminally charged.
Renehan’s publicist responds saying he is bipolar, and claiming that in past internal thefts the Association has quietly done deals, letting a office manager who allegedly embezzled $100,000 walk with a promise of future restitution.
Thick With Thieves? 
Enraging the TRA president, who told Newsday “…Mr. Renehan misappropriated Theodore Roosevelt Association property and now has inappropriately disclosed confidential information.”
Leading Renehan’s attorney to tell Newsday the leak was “unauthorized by myself or by Ed Renehan.”
Which is true – Renehan’s publicist did it. And none to fastidiously. Newsday says some 20 people received an email detailing the allegations, and your humble correspondent was among those blessed. But Renehan has removed the reference to the publicist from his web site, so everyone should be happy now! He’s also demoted his Roosevelt book “The Lion’s Pride” to a mention of it’s audio-book, although it is still in print.
