Four Score........another way of looking at it?

An older man walks into a bar wearing a stovepipe hat, a waistcoat and a phony beard. He sits down at a bar and orders a drink. As the bartender sets it down, he asks, "Going to a party?" "Yeah, a costume party," the man answers, "I'm supposed to come dressed as my love life." "But you look like Abe Lincoln," protests the bartender. "That's right. My last four scores were seven years ago."  ya...ya..I just couldn't resist :-)   By the way, THIS LINK I found while googling for my image shows who they think is Lincoln at Gettysburg in 1863...it's a photo only discovered in 2007 and maybe you hadn't yet seen it, either;  what a fascinating glimpse of the past... you can see a man in the distance with the stovepipe hat on and experts think that is Abraham Lincoln...very cool.

Robert Todd Lincoln, Abe, and JFK......lots of "coincidences"?

Our friend and commenter at GeeeeeZ, Waylon from Canada, found an amazing bit of information I hadn't heard and I wonder if you had? Robert Todd Lincoln was a witness to the assassinations of THREE presidents. Take a look at THIS ARTICLE for the details...it's really fascinating. (by the way, he sure does look like his mother, doesn't he? So much so, I had to include her picture here)

Also, you've all heard of THESE similarities between Lincoln and JFK (this list is newer and bigger than the information you've probably seen, and it's astonishing)....Then you read, in the linked article above, that Abraham Lincoln had dreams of being assassinated, and the whole thing's kind of bizarre, isn't it?

How could the son of one president be witness to the deaths of THREE?
Memo to self: NEVER invite anybody named Robert Todd Lincoln anywhere you're going to be!

After his seeing three assassinations, you'd have thought the FBI would have taken HIM in for questioning! (heh!)

Just try to keep a poker face when you see this.............

So I said to him, "Barack, I know Abe Lincoln, and you ain't him."

Lincoln said a mouthful.........?

Abraham Lincoln's handwriting....The beginning of his second Inaugural Speech, November 8, 1864. The first paragraph fascinated me:

"It has long been a grave question whether any government not too strong for the liberties of its people can be strong enough to maintain its own existence in great emergencies."

How do you interpret that and apply it to today?
