Birth of the Legend 
A retired Ghanaian Army man is making an outsider run for President, and one of the barriers he must overcome is his name: Richard Nixon Tetteh.
Nixon had a history in West Africa.
Ghana’s independence celebration attracted political personalities from throughout Africa and the world as the first country freed from colonial rule. Eisenhower dispatched the Vice President to carry the flag amidst the Marxists and Pan-Africanists. At the celebratory ball Nixon legendarily slapped a man on the back, asking “How does it feel to be free?” The man replied “I wouldn’t know, I’m from Alabama.â€
In one version, Nixon’s encounter was with Martin Luther King, who was in Ghana for the celebration.
Hillary Walks! 
The Associated Press says Hillary Clinton has narrowly escaped testifying about hundreds of FBI files the White House amassed during her husband’s administration.
“Had Clinton been forced to testify, it would have rekindled a controversy in the midst of her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.”
“Controversy” implies items in dispute, and the AP let the clowns suing Clinton refer to her as “the defendant.” But according to the Associated Press:
“An Independent Counsel report in 2000 found no evidence of wrongdoing by White House aides or Clinton.”
Whatever might have happened?
Clinton patsy Ken Starr deposed Hillary Clinton on this in 1998. And in the end, the Independent Counsel Final Report In Re: Anthony Marceca said Hillary didn’t do it, and it didn’t exist.
“…there was no substantial and credible evidence that any senior White House official, or First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, was involved in seeking confidential Federal Bureau of Investigation background reports of former White House staff from the administrations of President Bush and President Reagan.”
“The Independent Counsel has, however, concluded that the allegations giving rise to this Office’s investigation of the matter were not substantiated by the evidence.”
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. 
Make of It What You Will! 
The long awaited, eagerly anticipated, epic event of our time has arrived.
Some of the endlessly gassed about Hillary Clinton papers will be unveiled at last before the eyes of an eager and expectant world, yielding up such secrets as they contain.
I have no idea whats there, and neither do most of us, but i predict two lines of easy blather:
– angry huffing that this is not enough [I’m looking at you, Judicial Watch]
– content free “analysis” seizing upon the odd fact to demonstrate ready-made theories [see above]
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.
