At least it has pillars.
The prolonged negotiations with Southern Methodist University have had no public result, and a man needs a place for his junk.
The National Archives has rented this handsome warehouse outside Dallas for the interim Bush papers dumping ground, a holding action until the finished library opens, somewhere.
The warehouse lacks even the limited romance lent by Bush Senior and Bill Clinton’s initial locations, a bowling alley and a former car dealership.
Nearby neighbors include a 
Spirit Halloween Superstore, whose national sales for John Kerry 
masks outsell their Bush Mask.
That may not be a negative for Bush. The surprisingly life-like Cheney outsells him too. 
The long heralded demolition of Richard Nixon’s Saddle River New Jersey home has finally commenced. Nixon lived in the home from 1981 to 91 following his resignation.
The Rot Within 
Michigan is going ahead with pulling the plug, removing their Capitol Hill statue of a consequential historic figure in favor of the nation’s highest placeholder.
They would yank Senator Zachary Chandler, a Radical Republican who pressed President Lincoln to arm freed slaves against the South in the Civil War, and who led the fight against slavery in Washington DC.
In order to put up “Everybody Loves†Gerry Ford.
Chandler
An aroused citizenry could stop this travesty. Statue flipping began only in 2003 with Eisenhower. California is dumping one of it’s existing statues to make way for the beloved Ronald Reagan, but they’ve spared us Nixon so far. [Notice a pattern here?]
The Joint Committee on the Library of Congress has to sign off on dumping Chandler for Ford, so let them know you want Gerry in his place.
That would be over on the Senate side, in the Veep bust collection.
Wrap It Up
The Ford Library in Grand Rapids is now commemorating, um, commemorations.
They’ve unveiled a painting of long time Museum board fixture Marty Allen carrying the flag after it flew at half staff for 30 days after Ford’s death.
Not to be confused with 70s comedian Marty Allen. 
Dr. K’s 100-page Super Spectacular comic blog is digging deep, recalling 1976’s “Challengers of the Unknown” encounter with an as yet to be beloved Gerald Ford and the unaccountably still visible Henry Kissinger.
Dr.K sums up The Amazing Adventures of Kissinger & Ford:
“President Gerald Ford calls on the Challengers of the Unknown to rescue Secretary of State, Nobel Prize winner, and war criminal Dr. Henry Kissinger from an island in the Bermuda Triangle inhabited by dinosaurs, cavemen, and samurai. I’m just going to stop writing now, forever, because I don’t think I’ll ever write a sentence as awesome as that.”

masks outsell their Bush Mask.
