Bittersweet anniversary at Charles Lindbergh's boyhood home

It's a bittersweet anniversary for the folks who manage and run Charles Lindbergh's boyhood home in Little Falls.

[THE Radest Rethuglican]

I've been to Lindbergh's grave and it is unconscionable that the world's first media superstar is being neglected by his native state. Thanks Governor Pawlenty!

First off, I had the chance to go there as a kid, and really enjoyed it, fueled my love for aviation to the present. Secondly, Bush ran this country into the ground on the Federal level, now Pawlenty is doing it on the state level........ Wake up people! The Republican party is out for one thing ONLY......... The RICH!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah and Gov. Beady Eyes is really keeping your taxes down. Check out your property tax bill in about six months.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not but in any case Lindbergh is still a controversial figure.

Yes he was a hero who was the first to fly solo across the Atlantic ocean. But he was also a Nazi sympathizer who believed that an elite should rule countries.

William Shirer in his memoirs wrote that he just couldn't understand Lindberg because Lindeberg was an honest, modest, courageous man and yet he had the strangest political views for someone so personally modest and kind.

Can we agree that this is a "want" and not even close to a "need"? We need to remember that there is a difference!

[the humor]

He also fathered two extramarital families in Germany. Great guy.

Not to mention the illegitimate kids he fathered with his German mistress. A "Secular Saint," indeed.

In that case, the Bush family should pony up the bucks to keep this place open. Sounds just like grandpa Prescott Bush.

It's a cool place,but that's about all Small Falls has to offer.

How about Babe Ruth, Teddy Roosevelt, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harry Houdini, just to name a few who came before 1927.

Oh yeah, and lets blame it on Tpaw......
