Remembering history the way they wished it had been
Now With Added Stature! 
In an intriguing political parallel universe, pollsters matched up the sitting president with his term-limited predecessor. And the out guy is a comer.
From his popularity depths in the 20s, George W. Bush has clawed his way back to a position where 44% of poll-ees want him in office over Barack Obama.
Laying low, raising library money and a thoughtful assist from the beloved Bill Clinton appear to have done the trick.

This Christmas, Give The Gift Of Possible Copyright Infringement! Â 
In time for the holidays, the Abraham Lincoln Library is flogging their “Civil War In Four Minutes” on DVD for the low, low price of $12.99, or less than $4 per minute!

Whack-A-Mole efforts to suppress online versions continue, so your only chances to celebrate the North’s triumph for free at home may be here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

Your Reagan Library [still Iran-Contra free!]Â can’t keep track of its holdings or recall our love affair with Pakistan’s 
    loathsome General Zia, but they are going for techno-bloat with an app bringing you all Reagan’s greatest hits – now you need never be without the wry asides and soft chuckles that killed communism.

Thoughtful readers of sprightly Internet phenom Talking Points Memo reacted in horror today to the display ad which popped up on some screens.
