Norman Rockwell's The Spirit of Lincoln features a massive rendition of the Lincoln Monument in the sky, watercolored against a pastoral scene of, probably Illinois. A farmhouse, a barn, a church, and the hintss of an emerging industrial industry.

In the age of *everything is disappearing from the internet*, I couldn't find a hi-res of this work by Norman Rockwell, "The Spirit of Abraham Lincoln". I happened to find a nice print of it on the street and couldn't decide if I should keep it or not. So I scanned it and sent it back on its way.

“In our democracy, the president does not have the kingly power to plunge the nation into war without democratic debate and sanction.”

i don't know what's BOLD about this joyless and square solution.
