ITS LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY. IGNORE THE CALENDAR.  THE POLITICIANS HAVE LUMPED OLD ABE IN WITH WASHINGTON ON PRESIDENTS DAY.  LINCOLN REALLY DOESN'T GET A LOT OF ATTENTION THAT WAY.  I REMEMBER IN GRADE SCHOOL WHEN WE DECORATED THE ROOM WITH LINCOLN MEMORABILIA AND THE TEACHER WOULD HAVE US SING LINCOLN'S FAVORITE HYMN, "IF YOU CANNOT ON THE OCEAN, SAIL AMONG THE FASTEST SHIPS." LINCOLN ONCE SAID, "AS AN INDIVIDUAL WHO UNDERTAKES TO LIVE BY BORROWING, SOON FINDS HIS ORIGINAL MEANS DEVOURED BY INTEREST, AND NEXT NO ONE TO BORROW FROM--SO MUST IT BE WITH GOVERNMENT."  GOVERNMENT HASN'T LEARNED MUCH FROM ABE'S WISDOM, HAVE THEY?
