George Walker Bush's portrait of George Herbert 
Walker Bush.

Bush Library Raises $300 Million from Anonymous Donors
Who Prefer Not to Be Seen in Public with Former President

Wednesday, November 17, 2010

"Of course, the George W. Bush Presidential Center isn’t much
to look at just yet, but the workers are ready, construction will
move fast after today’s groundbreaking. Like me, it is one of 
the few shovel-ready projects in America today.”

In 1999, James Glassman published a book which
forecast that the Dow was headed toward 36,000.
Instead, the Dow bottomed out at 7,286 in 2002 and
now, ten years later, stands at 9,441. As a reward for
his financial acuity, Mr. Glassman has been named
Director of the George W. Bush Institute, a think tank
which will eventually be headquartered in the Bush
presidential library at SMU.

Despite a deep recession, Fearguth's Hall of Wackos has
been growing at a much faster pace than the computer
model of the George W. Bush Presidential Library at
Southern Methodist University. The Hall's director says
that the addition of yet another right wing to the existing
structure will be required in the not-too-distant future,
making it look more and more like the Ninth Circle of Hell.

"The lousy economy is now hurting George W. Bush in a pretty
direct way: panhandling has slowed down for his presidential
library at SMU, making it difficult for him to meet the $500
million goal."

"Where do you go to school?"
"SMU."
"Where?"
"Southern Methodist University. You know, the
school with a library built in honor of the most
unpopular President in American history."
"Oh, that SMU."

"President Turner, Stephen Payne has just informed me

Bumfuck, Egypt. I understand the donor is a great
admirer of President Bush and a devout Methodist."

Texas Monthly's Paul Burka doesn't approve of the way the
administration and faculty of SMU's Perkins School of Theology
have expressed their opposition to locating the George Walker
Bush Presidential Library on their campus. He writes:
"The folks at the Perkins School should render unto Caesar:
in this case, the trustees. The decision to accept or reject a
presidential library is not a moral one--and even if it were,
it is not theirs to make." In other words, (1) trustee might
makes right, (2) trustee decisions are nonmoral, like deciding
between an 8 oz. and 6 oz. filet mignon, and (3) you theological
types should stick to your knitting and leave the 
decision-making to senior exective types, like me.

construction of the George Walker Bush Presidential
Library is reportedly under budget and moving right along.
