Seven score and a sawbuck ago, our president brought forth on this continent the Gettysburg Address, conceived in tragedy and dedicated to the proposition that men shall not have died in vain for the cause of the American republic.
We did this. All of us.
Although "leaders" is more of a formal term than anything else.
Tuesday, November 19 marked the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, when Abraham Lincoln reminded Americans that a way of life worth fighting and dying for must also be worth living for. But what have you done with that mandate, America? You've been given the greatest opportunity in history, but you fill your days with reality TV, racism, and -- worse than those two put together -- autotune.

But it was well worth the time investment. I was taken by surprise about midway through when MSNBC hosts were referenced and I laughed until tears rolled down my cheeks, when the article said if Ed was a body part he was the goiter. It struck me so funny I could hardly keep reading. And dammit I like ol' Ed.
Everyone ought to read this. I'm pretty partisan so I took it to heart.
