Photo-Shopping Abe

Very funny: Lincoln’s prettified head was attached to John C. Calhoun’s body so the Union would have a “heroic” photo of the dictator. The current fiat $5 bill’s portrait of the Abester shows this iconicizing process continuing to an even more absurd and totalitarian degree. (Thanks to Tom DiLorenzo)
