The media is rosy-glowing with stories heralding the opening of George W. Bush's presidential library at SMU later this month, basking in the "presidents' club" angle: namely, how it is that four long-lived former presidents plus Obama will gather to open Bush 43's library, and isn't that cute.

Not so cute -- especially not when the donors who have ponied up in excess of $400 million to build the Bush complex at SMU are allowed to remain anonymous, including the individual or entity that donated $25 million.

The Sunlight Foundation reports that the House last month green-lighted a bill to make public the names of donors who contribute more than $200 to presidential libraries. Amen.

I hope it's retroactive.
