Lincoln Discussion Symposium

Illinois has been running an interesting tourism campaign on TV using Abraham Lincoln. Well, a little plastic Mr. Lincoln. As a former advertising art director, I found it funny and very good – memorable. And it has been successful, according to this report. Scroll down the page a bit and you will come to a video of one of the commercials.

Well, Kieran, the way this Abe can whiz around maybe the Bears can sign him to a short term contract to play quarterback. Jay Cutler was injured last week in the Redskins' game, and for the next few weeks maybe Abe could fill in for Cutler. Abe looks agile enough in that video to do the job.

I'd like to purchase a replica of him!
