Today is the bicentennial of the birth of both Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin. I reported on the Congressional Tribute to the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth at the Capitol Rotunda today and it was amazing, even though I couldn't really hear or see much of the program. President Obama spoke along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and others.
Yesterday Ford's Theatre reopened after 18 months of renovations. The mayor of D.C. and other local and Ford's Theatre officials came together for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The theater had a day-long open house today for Lincoln's bicentennial.
