we went to the lincoln museum in springfield, ill on our jaunt thru mid-america. it was very good, i highly recommend it.
they had an area dedicated to political cartoons on abe. it was amazing, and somewhat sickening, to see how he had been portrayed--told tony that maybe bush isn't treated so bad after all! but there were many similarities to what was said about him then...
of course, we all know how that turned out. i wonder how many were thinking the u.s. was going to hell in a handbasket back then?
