Land That Time Forgot  
We’re often told the mighty Information Wurlitzer that is the Internet will seek out and destroy untruth.

In Erie, Pennsylvania’s’s Danzig Corridor, the winters last longer, and the chill seems to prolong shelf life. The Erie Times News letters column has recently enjoyed a spirited debate based on a long exploded Bush fraud.
The Obama Era of Good Feeling was off to its spirited start, when former George W. Bush Chief of Staff Andy Card took powerful exception to the youngsters besmirching America’s Oval Office by appearing sans jackets. Card’s more in sadness had been barely emitted when photos of Bush’s own jacketlessness surfaced, and the world laughed.
But the Reverand John Detisch still felt the call, sallying forth in the local letters page on the strength of the legend, heedless of its death the week before.
“Please, Mr. President, don’t give in to so many other American men who are constantly lowering their standards. Lead us by example.“
Two weeks later, it fell to J. Spinelli to Speak for the Nation:
“Rev. Detisch, as you said in your letter, lead us by example. Get your facts straight.”
But clowning continues, in proud ignorance.
Roosevelt Gone Aground  
The dream of a Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library on an Oyster Bay, Long Island appears dead. Plans fluctuated between building on a flood plain, or above a tidal pool, and they never had any “Papers” for the “Library,” but they blame the economy’s collapse.
Or maybe it was all just a mad dream.
For My Next Trick, I Disappear! 
More than a year ago, a local resident tried to pin down the Theodore Roosevelt Association’s James Bruns on how it planned to pay for the estimated $120 million library. co
“Mike Giardina asked, “How much money does the TRA have in the bank?â€Mr. Bruns said they have pledges of $1 million.
Mr. Giardina: “And in the bank?â€
Mr. Bruns, “I’m not going to divulge that.“
Mr. Gardina: “You have zero. You have no website. Come on.â€
Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind

The recent Dallas Morning News warning of the George W. Bush Presidential Library‘s will to obscurity has been proven in life!
The Scourge of Baghdad, legendary Washington Post defense reporter Thomas Ricks was rightly appalled and amused at a New York Times report that the living monsters producing FOX’S “24”series are now touting their carbon-neutralness.
” This show should be relegated to an exhibit at the George W. Bush Presidential Library, perhaps in the discussion of whether you can win a war for your values by undermining them.“
The Foreign Policy Blog comment’s snap and verve are somewhat undermined by Ricks linking to one of the joke Bush Library sites which tower above the real one in Google searches.
Destiny In Trunks          
Harvard is restoring the swank apartment occupied by Franklin Roosevelt during his undistinguished Harvard years, as a tribute to our last beloved depression fighter. The university has his sink and pull toilet, but everything else will have to be guesswork guided by FDR’s letters home and contemporary material. In the spirit of the Roosevelt Era, a fabulous dinner will be served in hopes the downtrodden benefit eventually, by example, or something.
What role if any his Harvard years played in Roosevelt’s political evolution is unclear, but at some point he developed enough self-awareness that he could laugh at his own class, and “welcome their hatred.” Â The university seems to want to grab what it can of our exciting new era of the common man.
FDR, Fellow Scribes
Alien Encounters 
From Larry W. Bryant’s UFOview comes word of a snub to America’s Tinfoil-Hatted Community. The Eisenhower Presidential library has blown off a FOIA request based on an anonymous caller to a UFO radio show. The caller claimed to have seen film of Ike viewing alien bodies, sometime or another, someplace or another.
Rock solid!
