Abe Lincoln

Apparently Abraham Lincoln was diagnosed with a facial defect.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20250871/

The article states: "The left side of Lincoln’s face was much smaller than the right, an aberration called cranial facial microsomia. The defect joins a long list of ailments — including smallpox, heart illness and depression — that modern doctors have diagnosed in Lincoln."

And if you look at the "Land of Lincoln" (Illinois for you out of staters), you'll see that the state kinda looks like a face...Lincoln's perhaps?

For our greatest president, the poor guy sure had some things to deal with. He was a really interesting person.

I think if Lincoln were alive today, he'd probably be a Packers fan.

So southern Mississippi is Lincoln's Nutsack? Popular tourist attraction I'm sure!

I've been to that Disneyland style theme park museum of Mr Lincoln's in Springfield. I seem to recall them focusing on that famous frontal portrait of his.... and one of his eyes rolling up in his head. He's defective!

I've always said that it's a good thing Abe Lincoln lived when he did. In this modern, image-conscious world, he would have been considered a freak, and never elected. It would have been a loss, because he really was the right man for the job, no matter how he looked.

Yeah. It wasn't Katrina that flooded New Orleans. It was Abraham Lincoln's ball sweat runoff. Sure he freed the slaves, but he also drowned the Chocolate City.

Sorry... I'm all over the place today.

I noticed that. But it's classic meathorse. Just not something I was expecting as I was eating my lunch. I'll be fine.
