A little humor for your Sunday: Lincoln1864.com, a website devoted to re-electing President Lincoln and electing Senator Andrew Johnson as Vice-President, discovered via blogger Matt Yglesias.
It’s unclear who’s behind it; the only live links go to pages devoted to campaign finance reform. But the site contains quite a bit of detail, and is clearly offered with malice toward none (save perhaps George McClellan) and with charity to all (of us).

I’m having “Wag the Dog” flashbacks. Now if only I had a real Dustin Hoffman to curse at that slogan…

I missed this when it was relevant, but it’s still funny now. Check back for a Lincoln-esque closing message. I don’t think we write nearly enough parodies of early American prose and poetry!
