Goodnight Moon" / "Goodnight Bush"
Hey Folks -
If you know the children's book, "Goodnight Moon," you must check this out. Below is a short text intro followed by the NPR story on "Goodnight Bush."

All Things Considered, July 8, 2008 · Open Goodnight Bush: An Unauthorized Parody, and you might recognize the cozy green room with striped curtains, a fire glowing in the fireplace, a full moon outside in the starry sky.
But look closer and you'll see that the painting over the fireplace shows an oil derrick with stealth bombers flying around it. In the fireplace, there's a ballot box burning that says, "Florida 2000." And snaking around the side of the fireplace is a tiny microphone.
Goodnight Bush riffs off Margaret Wise Brown's classic children's book Goodnight Moon to satirize the Bush administration, co-authors Erich Origen and Gan Golan tell Melissa Block.

PRESIDENTIAL THEME PARK: THE GEORGE W. BUSH PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARIUM
Forget the Presidential Library!
First, why make a library to honor a guy who does not even read books? Second, libraries are an attempt to preserve facts and history - and we know that the Bush administration cannot be trusted with either. So, in order to further the effort to bring historical clarity to the last 8 years, and support the ongoing demand for accountability that must accompany it, we are offering the public an alternative to the official Presidential Library planned for Dallas, Texas.
We present to you the George W. Bush presidential Librarium!

Reading about Bush's remarkable achievements might not exactly be family fare, so we've done away with all those pesky little books, and have replaced them with themed attractions that bring administrations remarkable legacy to life. So, leave your foreclosed home behind, pack the family into your most fuel-inefficient vehicle, and come on down to the place "where wings take dream"!
History starts here. The only question: Are you with us or against us?
