Sad In Springfield 
Another Presidential Library head has been arrested for thievery, and now fired.
If convicted, the Abraham Lincoln Library’s Richard E. Beard may join former Theodore Roosevelt Association director Edward Renehan in prison.
What might Beard go up the river for? Shoplifting DVDs of House and Seinfeld .
A Theft About Nothing? 
Presidential Libraries seem to attract their own criminal class, so lets get busy.
Another bust and we have a trend!
Craggy! 
South Dakota’s favorite sons look down on an aspirant.
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.
Honor Roll 
Brussels journall takes the time to go where the streets have no name, or at least not ones it approves of. Thanks to the ceaseless proliferation of web-based tools they offer what can only be hoped is the definitive survey of

Why-ever they might feel this way is unaddressed, although Donald Rumsfeld‘s thoughtful intervention overturning Belgium’s war crimes law recently can’t have helped.

Is Nixon selling him stamps?
They may not answer that question, but the Los Angeles Autry National Center is opening a what appears to be a thorough survey of Presidential Cowboy mythology. 
It’s all fun, although while providing a role model for John McCain, 
Theodore Roosevelt seems 
to carry the dress-up further than seems healthy.
