I've been reading Meacham's "And There Was Light." Man, the parallels between the early 1800's Democratic Part and today's are astonishing. Don't get me started on , which hasn't improved because people suck on such a basic level. No wonder we only hang around people who agree with us. jonmeacham.com/book/and-there-

was great on this program @ his book. An aside: “The Long 9” was mentioned (9 guys who were over 6 feet tall during Lincoln’s time in the Legislature, 1836-37). Never heard of this group. Via YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=yVtotxJJCt
