3. Somehow, you can't get a firm date for the opening.

It ranges anywhere from 2003 to November of 2005. Here's the latest from the CounterClinton webshite, dated 1.5.05:

A group pledging to build the Counter Clinton Library in Little Rock is moving forward with its plans this year for a rebuttal to the Clinton Presidential Center despite fund-raising delays.

More than 40,000 letters will be sent out this month soliciting donations for a private museum criticizing Bill Clinton and his time in office.

Last year the organization behind the Counter Clinton Library, Counterlibe Corp. of Washington D. C., was granted status as a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, but the group didn't build its museum in time for the Nov. 18 dedication of the $165 million presidential center in Little Rock. "I think we jumped the gun," Richard Erickson, a Houston businessman and the founder of the group trying to build the Counter Clinton Library. "We haven't really been doing any fund-raising work yet."

In April, the group received word that the IRS had granted it tax-exempt status. To keep the exemption, the library must fulfill its plans of building museums about the Clinton presidency in Little Rock and Washington, D. C.

Article also says that the group will have to make its tax returns public, beginning this year.

I will believe this shit when I see the groundbreaking.

4. On the Counter Bush Library
I don't know--seems a ilttle too much like Tit for Tat - while we don't want to forget the evil that President Bush has done, I don't know if we need to wallow in how much we hate him, the way the Conservatives see Clinton.
