Reagan’s Verdict On George W: Not Proven
03-Oct-08
Reagan worship takes many forms, most recently in the form of miraculous interventions from beyond. His all-knowingness takes multiple forms, most acutely when He foresees our present troubles.

George W. Bush: Fish Tales
01-Oct-08
Big Thinker Stanley Fish gives us the road-map to a George W. Bush recovery: return to splendor by being himself after leaving office.
“…the fact is that he’s likable. I don’t mean on the superficial level of being someone you’d want to have a beer with. It’s deeper than that. He comes across as a basically decent man who is at peace with himself.”
Fish runs down the very best of past comebacks [that Nixon: what a smarty!] and helps Bush by setting the bar kinda low:

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.”
