    Reagan Museum "Forgets"

    The elephant figurine? Gone. The Western-style embossed belt buckle? Gone. The crocheted version of the Stars and Stripes? Also gone. A government audit of the Ronald Reagan presidential library and museum has failed to account for thousands of items of White House memorabilia. The disappearance has raised doubts about the management of the facility dedicated to the preservation of Reagan’s legacy, as well as the entire system of presidential libraries. (Suzanne Goldenberg for the Guardian, November 9, 2007)

    "Woodie Goodie"

    Jacques Louis Vidal:  I’d like to start our little Q&A by thanking you Justin, for raising my child, as if it were your own.

    Justin Lieberman:  Don’t play like you don’t know how we roll Jacques. I always suspected something. After all, how could I possibly have fathered a child made entirely out of wood glue?


    JV:  I think that raises a larger question—how could wood glue result in anything except an ultimately flawed rendering? Even the most skilled of woodsmen couldn’t hope to create something that could be truly mistaken as human    .
