It was 200 years ago today that Abraham Lincoln was born (Charles Darwin too). Having grown up in Illinois and having lived in the southern part of the state for awhile, I've had a special closeness to whom many consider our greatest president.
Anyway, amidst all the celebration and news today, my favorite story was this one - kids in Lincoln's birthplace reciting the Gettysburg address (that boy in the tie is so adorably dedicated!).
...and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
