Happy Birthday to Lanky Link!
By Jack Brummet, Presidents Editor
Happy Birthday to President Abraham Lincoln, a President most of us (above the Mason-Dixon line) think is one of the greats. Sadly, his birthday has been largely subsumed into "President's Day," which is officially, and actually, just George Washington's birthday.
Some of our favorite photos and drawings of Abe:

The most insane Sasquatch story ever--Dennis Daryl's "Living in the heart of bigfoot country"
The author of this story sent it to Bigfoot Encounters, another Blogspot blog. It is a rambling, shaggy and improbable tale. It would be great, even if only 10% of it happened. Dennis Daryl, naturally, claims it is "100% truth." It's hard to tell if he is pulling our collective leg with a pretty epic troll, or if actually believes all this happened to him. In any case, if you have a taste for this sort of thing (and I do), it is a fascinating train-wreck.
