As you know, I normally stay out of politics in these posts. Folks of all political stripes can agree on the endlessly fascinating aspects of the construction industry. So that’s what I try to showcase.

Yet, sometimes, in the course of human affairs, a wrong presents itself that simply must be righted. So please forgive my delving into politics today to right such a wrong.

I’m a big Abraham Lincoln fan. He’s a brilliant, yet folksy, self-made man who consistently took the hard road to do the right thing.  In short, to me, he’s just the bee’s knees. So when I saw the following political attack ad, I knew I had to respond. Please view it yourself and see if you agree that this ad presents a new low in distortion and meanness.

Happy Presidents Day, Mr Lincoln, and all the rest of you.
