Honest Abe, the 16th US President freed the slaves, won the Civil War and was from right here in Illinois.
We're proud of our state's favorite son. But we ran into a harried mom whose kids were driving her crazy on their day off from school. She said she wished she lived in another state where the kids only got Presidents Day off.
To paraphrase President Lincoln, you can please all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.
Happy Birthday, Abe!
