Many addresses that could be a match for facility are already taken

By KAREN BROOKS / The Dallas Morning NewsAUSTIN – While President Bush’s advisers were taking offers on an ideal spot for his library and museum, they probably should have paid more attention to the virtual real-estate market.
Officials finally settled on Southern Methodist University in Dallas to house the $250 million complex.
But online, some of the best addresses are gone – snapped up for mere dollars by squatters with no connection to the library, hoping to make fun of the president, protect him or simply cash in on his name.
At one time, the Bush Library Foundation owned the easiest Web site to remember: www.GeorgeWBushLibrary.com.
But whether on purpose or because of an oversight – foundation spokesman Taylor Griffin wasn’t sure – it lost that domain name last year. Illuminati Karate, a Web company in Raleigh, N.C., picked it up for less than $10.
