SMU "landing" the Bush Library is like anyone else going fishing and landing an old tire or boot!

Southern Methodist University will be home to George W. Bush's presidential library, officials formally announced Friday after a yearlong approval process that some faculty and religious opponents failed to derail.
Because exclusive negotiations dragged on for more than a year between SMU and Bush library officials, the only surprise was when — not if — the deal would be announced.
It finally happened after SMU's board of trustees on Friday unanimously approved the official agreement with the Bush Foundation, which will manage construction and raise money for the project, expected to cost more than $200 million.

since everything Dimson wrote was in crayon or magic markers.

state secrets. How thrilling.

8. $200 million for what? All that's needed is a 6'x8' tool tool shed

because everything going in it will be shredded by then.
