RE: Extra Credit Questions
Then I have a genetic problem because my family (all Southerners as you may have guessed) call it stuffing also. We stuff roasting chickens and our holiday turkeys - and we literally stuff it up in those birds and have long-handled stuffing spoons to dig it out with when it's brought to the table. I'm like you, Craig; dressing is something you put on salads (ranch, bleu cheese, Italian, Russian, etc.). Maybe they've changed the rules since I grew up?

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Lincoln once told Lamon that he was worried something won't scour. What was Lincoln referring to?

Gettysburg address?
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Same as Gene's answer: Gettysburg Address. Somehow, I doubt Lincoln actually said.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Good point, Bill. Lamon can be unreliable, and I am assuming the only source for this is the recollection of Lamon.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
I think so Roger. I remember hearing Gore Vidal mentioning it as if it had been true, but we both know that Lamon was his source.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
John Hay wrote that "hostile journals" described this person as a "shallow, vainglorious, woolly-horse, mule-eating, free-love, "n"-embracing Black Republican; an extravagant, insubordinate, reckless adventurer; a financial spend-thrift and political mountebank." Who were the journals referring too?
