What A Great Debate

Look what came in the mailbox today!


What a cover story! I'm really looking forward to reading this debate on Lincoln versus Darwin. If I had to pick, I don't know... I'm leaning towards Lincoln as having been more influential, but I may just not be as attuned to the long-term impact of Darwin.

But... regardless of who comes out ahead in the Newsweek article, they're both winners in my book. Because, you see, Abraham Lincoln, Charles Darwin and I have something in common. We have the same birthday! Yeah, February 12 is a pretty darn good day. And while both Abe and Chuck will be celebrating their 200th birthdays this coming year - I guess 1809 was a pretty good year - I'll toast them both!
