there is a new presidential library to be built....

i can only imagine that this particular library will have no books and when you ask a librarian for help they'll just ask you "well... what does your gut tell you? go with your gut...."

libraries are for those fact-ionistas types... and we all know reality has a strong liberal bias

I figured it was the cost of converting them all to books on tape.

I feel a thread-lock coming on, especially if I post what I want to post.

Which is: the library will have at least one book - the Bible - but with all the parts about love, compassion and peace expurgated.

Nevertheless, I actually would encourage this library project, if only George would resign early (with Dick, of course), to work on it.

George/Dick: Resign. Please. We have had quite enough.

My post is about as funny as I feel about this subject right at the moment.

I think this project is a great idea. There are so many lessons that can be learned from this presidency, it'd be a shame not to properly chronicle them in an appropiate library.

$500 M is a bit steep, but I believe all the $$ is raised privately for these things, so if they really want to spend it on this, more power to them.

you can't properly chronicle them in a library since he's gotten rid of the law that allows the public access to documents from his presidency

You're assuming that a Bush library would offer an accurate assessment of the Bush presidency, which has about zero chance of happening.

The whole thing will probably be a subsidiary of Fox News, and Tony Snow will be in charge.

I would laugh every time I heard the name of it. George W. Bush Memorial Library. What a joke.

Hasn't he said on numerous occasions that he's not much of a reader? Laura has said it before too, I know that.

Kind of funny...
