Mixed Silver Lining

According to The Only Paper We've Got (TM),

The George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum will close next week if Congress doesn’t reach a budget deal before Tuesday to avert a government shutdown.

In addition, said a notice posted late Friday to the library’s website, "if the federal government is shut down, we will not be able to sell tickets, update this website, blog, post to Facebook, or tweet during this closure."

But it's not total good news:

In late April, the foundation handed over the library and museum to the federal government.

Much of the Bush Center is still operated by the foundation, however. So the center’s main eatery, Cafe 43, and its gift shop would remain open.

I am so relieved.
