Doing homework where the Gettysburg Address was written.

[Condem]

Malia Obama plans on using Lincoln's desk for tough assignments. I don't know. I'd be inspired.

[Sanity Claws]

1. I'm sure Lincoln's desk will be inspirational

but didn't Lincoln write the Gettysburg Address on a train? Somehow I recall something like that.

2. Lincoln wrote the address on an envelope while riding a train..

3. That's actually a myth. He wrote several drafts in the White House

and finished it up once he arrived in Gettysburg while staying at a friend's house

4. However, it would have FIT on a envelope.

Perhaps a requirement for all political speeches is that the speech giver writes it out longhand on an envelope.
