You know, I've often wondered about Abraham Lincoln.

I'm not sure what kind of team he was on or what they were playing, but only four score in seven years? That can't be good.

Maybe it has something to do with nepotism or incest or something. I mean, the whole team apparantly only had four fathers.

And then there's that whole thing with his seperate residence. I can understand not wanting to mix team stuff with presidential duties, but there are better ways to keep things straight than keeping an extra household at your "Gettysburg address." Especially when, as far as most people know, you've never lived in Virginia. Something screwy going on there.

And yet, despite all that, he still managed to be one of the greatest presidents in our history. Hmm. Maybe that's something all those "family values" voters out there could learn from.

See? It pays to know your history.
