Abe Lincoln at 200!

Abraham Lincoln was born on this day 200 years ago.

I point this out to you from the Land of Lincoln, long-time home of Honest Abe, and of course, home to famous Lincoln poet, David Stern. Each year on Lincoln's birthday I post the audio of the poet himself, reading his most acclaimed poem from 1974: "Honest Abe He Was Called."*


*Yes, this is the same David Stern who once co-wrote the Half Empty column on this blog, and the same David Stern who sarcastically founded the Rick Kaempfer Fan Club on Facebook.
