GWB Presidential Library?

Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

Delia was on American Morning today to talk about the drama over the proposed Presidential Library at Southern Methodist University - apparently, Methodist ministers and bishops are circulating a petition on-line to reject the proposal from the White House:

DELIA GALLAGHER, CNN FAITH & VALUES CORRESPONDENT, AMERICAN MORNING: Well, Miles, it turns out a group of Methodists, some bishops, clergy members, other people in the church have petition online to ask the university not to welcome this library on their campus.

In particular, this petition says, "We believe that the linking of his presidency with the university baring the Methodist name is utterly inappropriate."


And I spoke to these people, the man who wrote this, and he said that the problem with this is that the Bush administration, they are against some of their policies, particularly the war in Iraq, allegations of torture in Guantanamo, and Iraq. And that the linking of those policies and those accusations with the Methodist, name in particular, with the university, the Methodists have 123 schools -- Emery, Duke, for example.

But they say Southern Methodist University, where Methodist is actually in the name is problematic for them. They have put this petition online. They're asking people to sign it. They have 3,000 signatures so far, as of yesterday.

You can sign the petition here, even if you're a Wiccan or a Klingon or even a - gasp! - Catholic, for that matter. This library must be STOPPED!

But c'mon, seriously, how much space do you really need for a GWB Presidential Library? Really? As long as there's space for the giant teddy bear (pictured above) and My Pet Goat, it's good to go. Just give the guy what he wants already!
