Historical Image of the Day

Abraham Lincoln.

This is my favorite picture of Lincoln. You can really see what the war had done to him.

Perhaps more interestingly, I happened to link to this famous photo on a Christian site where the guy was connecting beards with preaching the Word. Hilarious. I am actually wondering if large beards might be making a serious comeback in American society. I know they have become big among hipsters, but it seems to be spreading some.

Trivia question: Who was the major party last presidential candidate with facial hair? And who was the last major party presidential candidate with a beard? No cheating either!
