If Fuckity McFuckwad Booth hadn’t of shot President Lincoln, today would have been the late president’s 209th birthday.
Yes I am certain he would still be alive—why do you ask?

“It’s Emancipatin’ Time!”
Uh…fucking duh, yes I bought it.
Abe was all like this and JWB had to go and be a big douche.
Also, glad to see Marvel has jumped on the Abe Lincoln chills with the superheros wagon.

Mary Surratt was also an asshole.
So much so that her historic downtown DC boarding house, at which JWB stayed while performing at Ford’s Theater, is now the Wok N Roll Restaurant. You can go here and think about how much she blew whilst consuming your $6 chicken with broccoli lunch special.

Yay! I love having supporters in cursing out John Wilkes Booth because he totally sucked nuts.
Thanks!

Tiny bow tie, tiny…
…well, you can figure it out.

Ghost Lab investigates areas reported to be haunted by John Wilkes Booth.
In my opinion, I think they just need to leave his ghost alone and let it be ignored and angsty.
¤
Lincoln occasionally liked to conceal his identity and stroll through the streets of Washington with ordinary citizens. Unfortunately, he was terrible at disguises.
sigh.

NOT THE MUPPETS TOO! Oh, hell.

He totally blew as a negotiator.
| "After some delay Booth said, 'For whom do you take me?' | |
| "I replied, 'It doesn't make any difference. Come out.' | |
| "He said, 'I am a cripple and alone.' | |
| "I said, 'I know who is with you, and you had better surrender.' | |
| "He replied, 'I may be taken by my friends, but not by my foes.' | |
| "I said, 'If you don't come out, I'll burn the building.' I directed a corporal to pile up some hay in a crack in the wall of the barn and set the building on fire. | |
| "As the corporal was picking up the hay and brush Booth said, 'If you come back here I will put a bullet through you.' | |
| "I then motioned to the corporal to desist, and decided to wait for daylight and then to enter the barn by both doors and over power the assassins. | |
| "Booth then said in a drawling voice. 'Oh Captain! There is a man here who wants to surrender awful bad.' | |
| "I replied, 'You had better follow his example and come out.' | |
| "His answer was, 'No, I have not made up my mind; but draw your men up fifty paces off and give me a chance for my life.' | |
| "I told him I had not come to fight; that I had fifty men, and could take him. | |
| "Then he said, 'Well, my brave boys, prepare me a stretcher, and place another stain on our glorious banner.' |

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This is one of the many reasons why I shake my head at DC comics…although Lincoln does kick some serious ass at the end of this issue of The Flash.

In which our heroine remembers she’s supposed to be at Ford’s Theater in an Hour
Oh damn. Dress rehearsal invite! Gotta jet NOW, lovelies.
Oh, and don’t worry, Old Sports. It won’t be the first time I’ve been to the theater “not exactly sober.”
(Please see The Great Kenneth Branagh “Hamlet” production of 1992 @ The Barbican in London and the great Kevin Spacey “Moon for the Misbegotten” production of 2005 at the Old Vic in London for reference.)
Whoa. London, what’s up?
:)
xoxoxoxoo
Ford’s Theater?
Just don’t drink the water there.
I still wouldn’t trust it.

“
The underlying motive that caused the Southern leadership and men like John Wilkes Booth to risk all in their effort to ‘get’ Lincoln was a common belief that slavery was an essential part of the cultural and economic success of the United States. Booth was a White supremacist. Those who joined with him in his plot to remove Lincoln were also White supremacists whose greatest fear was the emancipation of the Black man. Abraham Lincoln was the architect of those emancipation policies. ”
—Edward Steers, Blood on the Moon: The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln
