Lincoln…

…the Spielberg movie:

It would be nice if the Grand Old Party could see this movie (adapted apparently from Goodwin’s book Team of Rivals) and remember that Lincoln not Reagan was the father of the Republican Party.

Although Thaddeus Stevens didn’t make much of an appearance in Goodwin’ book I see one of the principal actors portrays the old radical. I think the book I just bought on him will be the next book I read. Stevens was the principal character in the Reconstruction of the South to follow Lincoln’s assassination. Its still not quite over although all the Johnny Rebs became Republicans.

No on can tell me that history doesn’t have a sense of humor.
