Bush Library would be too darned close to Deep Eddy Cabaret, by John Kelso

by John Kelso

I'm having a little trouble with the concept of putting George W. Bush's presidential library in hippie dippie Austin.

For one thing, will this library have actual books in it? And if so, why? Why in God's name would a George W. Bush library contain reading material? This is too much irony even for me. Who's going to read to him? He doesn't like reading, so you know he's not going to read this stuff himself.
...
Instead, why not put the money into the George W. Bush Presidential Game Room and Big Screen TV? I think he'd be much happier there. And you could probably do the whole remodel for under $30,000.


Or, since it's Bush, instead of a library, how about the George W. Bush Frat House Museum? An interactive establishment, every time you go in the door, somebody throws a beer mug against the wall. I'd visit a presidential museum like that. Heck, I might even make a donation to help build the thing.

The UT System is offering three locations for the Bush library -- two in Dallas, and the third one in Austin on Lake Austin Boulevard next to Deep Eddy Cabaret.

This is really bad feng shui. You just don't put a presidential library next to a beer joint. It ends up giving the beer joint a bad name. ...
