Fuck No, John Wilkes Booth.

For @fucknojohnwilkesbooth:

This historical marker commemorates a key waystation of J.W. Booth’s fail trail, designating the muddy Southern Maryland pine grove where Booth and fellow douchebag conspirator David Herold holed up for five days.

Herold, described in a contemporaneous account as a “weak, cowardly, foolish, miserable boy” who was “wax in the hands of a man like Booth,” assisted him through Southern Maryland. Here, the two shivering cowards waited to cross the Potomac, doubtless annoying the woodland creatures in their immediate vicinity with their ceaseless self-pitying wails.

While there, they were attended to by Thomas Austin Jones, a Maryland leader of the Confederate Secret Service. Jones waited on them hand and foot, bringing them food, whiskey, and newspapers so that Booth could revel in the accounts of his crimes.

Douchebags. Fuck all of them.

The marker, however, is cool.

I couldn’t have said it better myself!
