Good Times Won’t Be Forgotten 
Frost/Nixon lumbers onto more of the nation’s screens this weekend, but America’s infotainment complex apparently believes in putting a little touch of Nixon in everything they do.
Up next: HBO thrills once more to Washington Post Publisher Katherine Graham as all that stood between us and fascism.
Her storied Pentagon Papers and Watergate confrontations with the Nixon administration are tales we tell children in Washington, while passing swiftly over her heroic union busting immediately afterwards.
Nixon stories are well on their way to being the thoughtful person’s Woodstock anniversary, events endlessly replicated in news and pop culture until the issues are reduced to “iconic” personalities, anyone alive at the time dies or rioting spoils the party.  
 Classy   
From the latest Nixon document dump, the Los Angeles Times has further evidence of Richard Nixon’s bottomless boorishness.
The President’s first year in office was marked by a memo from Presidential aide Alexander Butterfield, giving Nixon a progress report on efforts to purge the White House of past president’s photographs.
Particular focus was given to the office of Edna Rosenberg, a civil servant since the Hoover administration. Nixon had spotted two photos of John F.Kennedy in her office, one inscribed to her by Kennedy.
Butterfield reported triumphantly that she had been forced to remove the photos, and the White House was now predecessor-free.
“On January 14th,” Butterfield reported to Nixon, “the project was completed and all 35 offices displayed only your photograph.”
Oh Yes, There’s More! 
After Black Friday, the nation looks ahead to Tapin’ Tuesday.
 The Nixon Library releases still more Nixon tapes December 2nd!
White House Short-Timers Can’t Be Bothered For Jews 
The New York Post points to George W. Bush’s Hanukkah reception invite as evidence of a certain drift in the departing administration.
Jewish community leaders, likely of a minority persuasion, have received their invitation complete with obvious Christmas tree arrival scene.
Past Republican Presidential efforts to court the chosen people have ended badly, with the Nixon Library no longer even attempting i’s Christmas Around The World Special Jewish Edition this year.
Or does Michael Medved count?
Damp But Determined  
The New Nixon reports on efforts to protect the Nixon birthplace from fire, with continuous hosing down by Nixon Foundation staff.
