   Happy birthday to two of the greats. Both changed the world in so many ways.

   Through this little coincidence of history… It is a very special day to be sure. Check out Judson’s Op-Ed in NYT today… pretty neat little homage to CD.

   I often wonder what Lincoln would think of today’s incarnation of the GOP.

   Sure.. Stink-coln ended the white man’s dominance of America and Fraud-win ended man’s dominance of creation WHAT A HAPPY DAY!!!!! I’m gonna go cry and take oxy with Rush, Glenn, and Sean. Those are some REAL men!!!!
   But seriously happy birthday to the second best
   Illinois Senator Turned President Ever.

   If I may suggest a good read for the occasion .. Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell it’s a scream and I think it’s perfect for the fine minds here at DL 🙂

   I can second that sentiment. Vowell’s book is quite good. I’d save it for summer reading though I think.

   In honor of Charles Darwin, check out the brilliant Chris Smither and his take on the ‘Origin of Species’:

   El Somnambulo says, “You’re welcome.”

   That was actually pretty cool.

   Dorian Gray says, “Grazie mille.”
