...and it's book!

Imagine, 3 universities are vying for the privilege of hosting! I wonder what this amazing structure will look like? And what book it will have in it's collection?




More intrigue has surfaced in the race to land the George W. Bush presidential library after it was disclosed that Southern Methodist University (SMU), Dallas, long considered a front-runner, had received a $35 million gift from Dallas businessman Ray Hunt. The gift, according to the Dallas Morning News, was used to purchase a shopping center that could become the library site. The extraordinary gift was made last fall but curiously remains unannounced by university officials, who told reporters details have not been finalized.

The news, however, became public in court records from a case brought by Gary Vodicka, who filed suit last year alleging that SMU forced residents out of a condominium complex to make way for the library. Meanwhile, First Lady Laura Bush said that a decision on the library was unlikely before 2007. SMU, the First Lady’s alma mater, is one of three finalists for the Bush library, along with Baylor University in Waco and the University of Dallas.

2. The whole concept is an oxymoron.

3. All that space for "My Pet Goat"

Maybe there will be a coffee bar?

[northofdenali]

4. No way there'll be a coffee bar, Nikki.

A full-serve bar is more like it for our pResident!

7. Actually, don't compare Vlad to the idiot son!

Vlad did great things for Romania. He actually saved his people. And there are people there now who, if you compare him to the Horror Movie version get really insulted. Yes, Vlad ruled with an iron fist, but his people were safe and they loved him for it. Prior to him taking the throne, the country was crime ridden and people were killing each other. Vlad took over, impaled publicly those that would hurt his people, and he became a hero. Vlad loved his people, his country and did not use his country to make profit. He even died for his belief that his people should be free. Dim son will never do the fighting himself.

11. It'll be in an undisclosed location. All documents will be classified.

[Sapphocrat]

12. It's already been built. I found a picture.

They're just waiting to be told where to move it to.

[spillthebeans]

14. I think Vlad's picture is probably in the family album cause they are related

All family trees take surprising twists and turns. But for sheer irony, nothing can match the paradox linking Dracula to Bush and Kerry. As illustrated above, the common link is the Royal House of Windsor – an ancient line that descends from princes and spawned generations of American elite.
