Plus there's no Brian Blessed in there
It's just what instantly comes to my mind.
This is almost **never** portrayed.
William Herndon (Lincoln's law partner) written in 1887
Abram Bergen (worked with Lincoln when he was a lawyer), wrote
Clearly, we have a perfect specimen to play him, with some hair dye:

this is fantastic
On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it, all sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war--seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came.
One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh." If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
I think this is a good time to link the Avalon Project

I had a pumpkin pie milkshake from Dairy Queen the other day and it was DELICIOUS.
That is good. Lincoln is American, goddammit.
uuuhhhhhhhhhh
should we
...
no, nobody tell him
Dang.
At least he sounds more American?
he left the picture because he felt he was getting too old for it or something
he originally agreed to it like five or six years ago
I think I had made plans to go get a pumpkin shake with a friend at the local frozen yogurt place in the near future
imagine my shock when I went last night and no such pumpkin flavors were available
I went again two days ago to get another and they said they were out of the pumpkin pie flavor. I was pretty sad about that, it was the best milkshake I've ever tasted in my life.
I read this post
Drove to a local DQ
They said they ran out yesterday
I left with a blizzard though!

Everyone should have pumpkin pie and eggnog available all year long. Those are my two favorite things about Thanksgiving and Christmas and I would become so fat if I could buy them at any time.
