Deep Thought

I think the George W. Bush presidential library at Southern Methodist University is going to be kind of like a Holocaust Museum that is run and funded by unreconstructed Nazis. Not too educational.

Wow - Godwin'd before the thread even begins!

(I really have no idea how Nazis:Holocaust Museum as Southern Methodists:Bush Presidential Library works as an analogy either. A lot of folks at SMU are peeved that they're putting the library there IIRC.)

yeah...

the George W. Bush Sewage Plant, on the other hand, has a nice ring to it.

What would they have to put in the Library?? I thought all White House documents had been lost or deleted!

Re: Deep Thought (none / 0)

i don't think you're giving the library enough credit. it should be very educational. after all, as they say:

no one is completely worthless. they can always be used as a bad example.

i'm glad you asked

Who would want to visit this library?
