Honestly Not Abe’s Stuff

This is incredible even for Illinois.

The curators at the Lincoln Museum spent over $22 million for a collection of Lincoln artifacts to lure more drones obeisant to the Lincoln Myth to Springfield. Not only did these dunces not authenticate the pieces before the purchase, but the most prized artifact (second-class relic for most Americans, sadly)–a stove-pipe top hat–has been proven to be not Lincoln’s at all. OH, that’s a shame…

It’s as if James Comey’s new job has been to head the Lincoln Library in Springfield. After all, the ONLY possible explanations for this are gross incompetence or purposeful malfeasance.
