I'm finding myself discomforted by the idea that Abraham "Intellectual" Lincoln's response to 'You will get shot at the theatre tomorrow' is 'Well, I'm still going, but I'll bring a General. That should do it.'
Especially as, according to legend, he had had not one but TWO disturbing premonitions of his death beforehand.
Whether or not Grant was the notorious drunk of legend, I still think that Lincoln would have done much better if he'd had someone a bit more on the ball than John Frederick Parker, who snuck out to a tavern at exactly the wrong time.
Lincoln this and Lincoln that. The next time-traveler who goes to the 19th century to stop a presidential assassination would probably have better luck with James Abram Garfield.

Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
