Abraham Lincoln's Latest "Slap"
In the latest attempt to heap more dirt on Abraham Lincoln's grave the History Channel tonight is airing " MELANCHOLY B-ABE-Y". I'm not here to promote or even watch this latest guess at what Lincoln was really like. No, its just that while perusing the article I read the following line:
Joshua Wolf Shenk, a fine young author who has battled depression himself, views Lincoln as an inspiration — a man who fought his demons by convincing himself he was destined to change history.
This so reminded me of Bush, not that he'll even remotely accomplish near as great as Lincoln, just that he no doubt has convinced himself that he is destined to change history.
Unfortunatley its not looking as if its even going to be a positive change, a big one in many ways but a positive one in NONE. Oddly Lincoln helped end slavery and Bush is in the process of just giving it a new look in Iraq, and America with his Patriot Act and other fiascos.
