Isn't It Rich (Free subscription) | 11/10/2009
President Abraham Lincoln said this and Mark Levin recorded it on page 93 of his book, Liberty and Tyranny : Property is the fruit of labor...property is desirable...is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor...

I still like the concept of Retro Campaigns, creating shirts based on old political campaigns from America’s past. Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and William Henry Harrison receive the treatment this time around. I think that I prefer the more modern poliical characters simply because we all know that Abe and Teddy didn’t use t-shirts to [...]

The Lincoln Memorial I finally managed to tear myself away from the cool fountains of the National World War II Memorial and I walked towards the Lincoln Memorial. It is quite an impressive old structure and was built to honour Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States. Like everyone else, I had seen the memorial and the sculpture of Abe Lincoln several times...

... but Bart Sher only hired Daniels two years ago and she's had a successful run. She just directed Abe Lincoln in Illinois , which was extremely popular (on KUOW even!), and extended for a few days. She seemed poised to achieve more greatness. So... what gives? An email she's sent to friends, colleagues, and other people moored in her address book (time-stamped early this morning): Dear Friends...

The dead don't just get up and walk off. No. They need felonious help for that. Mental_floss has a fun piece on five great grave robberies (some more successful than others)--with guest corpses ranging from Charlie Chaplin to Abe Lincoln....

... Clocky's and MikeMac's skills! (I understand the portraits visible above the proscenium are not of Abe Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, as I first thought, but of Clocky and MikeMac.) And there is some kind of theatrical reference with regards to the trolley label? I'm too ignorant to get it.... Amy Jacques-Jones (left) played Rose Smith. There was something extraordinarily familiar about the...

The Democratic candidate, Bill Owens, was the beneficiary of the battle between the conservative (Doug Hoffman) and liberal (Dede Scozzafava) wings of the GOP. The insurgency campaign of third party...

As George Will noted , Presidents often come to be characterized by particular adjectives: "honest" Abe Lincoln, "Grover the Good" Cleveland, "energetic" Theodore Roosevelt, "idealistic" Woodrow Wilson, "Silent Cal" Coolidge, "confident" FDR, "likable" Ike Eisenhower. Less happily, there were "Tricky Dick" Nixon...

Bodily injury that may result in death . Who hasn’t tried that move to get out of work! Am I right! A 29-year-old man who claimed he was attacked and stabbed by three people - skinheads or Hispanic males - confessed Monday night that he stabbed himself because he didn’t want to go to work, Edgewater Police said today. Ummmm skinheads or Hispanic males. Either penguins or dinosaurs. Abe...
