Wow, a leaked memo from the White House. I guess if you live by the leak you die by the leak.
"President Bush is trying to raise $500 million for the Bush Presidential library, not just a library, it will also contain a think tank, because when you think George W. Bush you think thinking." --David Letterman

Visas
The Bush administration will ask Congress to change and expand a program that allows citizens of some countries to enter the U.S. without visas, but in exchange would require visitors to provide more data about themselves before they board planes.

Subject: George Bush Library
$500 million for a George W.
library?
He must have a helluva lot of comic books....

Lisa,
Why would this cost so much?
What would this library actually house....his personal copy of "The Pet Goat?"
We can't get any of his actual records from his college years, court documents
(revealing his talent for driving while drinking,) nor complete records of his
years in "the service" and many of his records of his governorship (being
spirited away and sealed.) Let's not forget the number of records that we won't
see regarding the meetings that were to shape public energy policy. I suspect
that we wouldn't see any books regarding evolution, global warming, or birth
control there....let alone any real science books.
I suspect the library will feature his summer reading list of books he allegedly
read...just the list, not any actual books. Also included would be the George W
Bush inaction figure with his little pilot outfit and a number of photos of him
holding hands with various unsavory corporate execs and Saudis. Come to think of
it, with such Orwellian terms to come out of his office such as the "Clear
Skies" policies that fouled the skies, and "No Child Left Behind" that left
children behind, the "Healthy Forests Restoration Act" that removed trees,
missions accomplished that weren't accomplished, a Patriot Act that removed
personal constitutional freedoms...(which was amazing in light of the fact that
one of W's favorite mantras is that "The terrorists HATE our freedoms.") It only
stands to reason that a library dedicated to this regime would be bereft books
or for that matter, any legitimate information. (I would also suggest that there
would be a Bible in there, but since it advocates that “The truth shall set you
free.” ~ John 8:32, it seems to fly in the face of all the secrecy in this
government.)
I love your site, Lisa. Keep fighting the good fight.
~Mark
