All Our Yesterdays 
The release of grand jury testimony in the prosecution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg has strengthened the case that she was convicted on perjured testimony by her brother and sister-in-law, and allowed everyone with a piece of the hot Red Spy action to step forward.
Richard Nixon speaks from the grave to offer his [sort of] condolences for the federal government lying in order to whack only the second woman in US history.
“ If I had known–if we had known that at the time–if President Eisenhower had known it, he might have taken a different view with regard to her. In other words, tainted evidence, even though a person is totally guilty, is a reason to get him off.“
The late red-hunter’s consoling belief in Ethel’s guilt might have been undermined by knowledge the prosecution invented Rosenberg typing documents passed the Soviets.
Nixon stayed strong.
“ I understand why it was done. And let us understand–Mrs. Rosenberg was guilty. This wasn’t a case of somebody not guilty going to the chair.“
Phew!

If Jokes Could Track? 
The Coltons Point Times is unafraid to link the Palin email breakin to the toxic legacy of the Nixon era, breathlessly inquiring if Obama did it. Â
The evidence:Â lack of original thought, and statements of the obvious:
“In watching the various liberal media outlets comment about the stolen emails they used almost the exact words as Obama campaign representatives dismissing the seriousness of the theft and turning attention to the fact Sarah Palin had a private email account. Then insinuating she must have had the account to hide things from the State of Alaska. How stupid is that? Nearly everyone in America has a private email account including most members of the media…Why did the liberal media and the campaign spokespersons have the exact same script? Why did they raise the exact same issue? Why weren’t they outraged by the invasion of privacy? And why did they keep looking at the emails in their possession? If the Obama campaign was involved in the theft or any of these following actions it is the most serious breach of faith possible to the American public and would only demonstrate that a secret agenda must be driving them, one called Big Brother, where the right to privacy will no longer exist.”
Faith in CPT’s iron logic is, shall we say, undercut by his nut-ball flair. His searing indictment starts out”Privacy in America is guaranteed by the Constitution… ”
…when of course all true sons of the soil know this “right” was invented by Supreme Court Marxists to allow the proliferation of filthy birth control devices.
“We shall await the results of the federal criminal investigation.”  Watch the skies!
Not On My Watch? Â Â 
A sunny side of the Sixties is on display in the film Virtual JFK, portraying a happy time when a wise and unassassinated President Kennedy manages to avoid the Vietnam War. 
How’d he do it? Â 
 In this happy world Kennedy apparently emerged sadder and wiser from early stumbling over Cuba, which you can do if you disappear Operation Mongoose.
Still, it would have been a blessing to be spared this.

A discredited president had sapped the Nation’s spirits, as a seemingly endless war ground on with no resolution in site.
A hero arose to lift the people’s spirits. Never-mind that he was dead, and that the stories which inspired us were a tissue of lies – America loves a happy ending.
Can Ronald Reagan do for the Oughts what Harry Truman did for the Seventies? One Hollywood dream-weaver is determined to find out.
Republican hack of legend Lionel Chetwynd is launching a one man Ronald Reagan play, touring the provinces before filming the stage show for wide screen fun.
Dodgy, Yet Beloved 
The Truman industry launched in the wake Richard Nixon’s demise on the strength of Merle Miller’s Plain Speaking, the source of a thousand Harry Tales that can’t quite be verified.
Feist never fails. New Truman material is constantly arising to meet the Nation’s insatiable demand, and such is the legend’s strength that even discoveries of his mutterings about the Jews can’t tarnish the legend.

Richard Nixon son-in-law and New York McCain campaign chair Ed Cox sees haunting parallels between Veep-To-Be Sarah Palin and Tricky Dick*. 
The secret of Nixon’s success? Near death experiences at the hands of foreign mobs!
“Eisenhower in 1952 was also old for a person to be elected president …He had this young senator from California named Richard Nixon. He sent him on an around-the-world trip. Because of his intellectual interest in it, and because of what he was, he was able to learn the way of the world very quickly.”
And it weren’t no book learnin.
