There was an exciting bit of news for history buffs in Boston yesterday where a time capsule believed to have been buried by Paul Revere and Samuel Adams in 1795 was retrieved from underneath the Massachusetts State House:

And here is Jonah Goldberg with a funny, and probably prescient prediction of what happens next:
Nicholas Cage call your agent. I smell National Treasure III in the air…http://t.co/A2puUTjvEi

That’s a horrible thought, but deep down we know he’s right.
@JonahNRO Get M.Night Schmamalamdingdong to direct it, and you have the worst movie ever made. Soundtrack by Cher.

Even without Cher it would be a pretty bad movie.
Actually, the next step for the capsule is a trip to Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts where it will be X-rayed on Sunday in an attempt to determine its contents.
So, what is inside? Some predictions and hopes:
@FoxNews found the plans for the new world order. What? luminaries not illuminati? Never mind.

@JonahNRO A parchment inside says: "Beware the Progressives."

The 1795 time capsule unearthed in Massachusetts has a newspaper in it with the wedding announcement of Larry King's very first marriage.

I hope that Paul Revere's time capsule has a note in it that says, "Whatever you do, don't write any pedantic poems about me!!!!!"

And Michelle Malkin has a wish of her own:
Too bad we can't pack the D.C. corruptocrats from both parties into a time machine & send 'em all back to 1795. http://t.co/HYtctIQ0dn

That’s a really great idea … but only if Nicolas Cage isn’t in the movie adaptation.
