Farewell Bucky and Abe

This post is somewhat late, but I would like to mourn the departure of Bucky Covington, my favorite contestant on "American Idol." Bucky defnitely didn't deserve to go; his performance, in my opinion, was one of the best. I like Bucky because of his country singing and because he has kept his own unique style each week. Now that Bucky is gone, my favorite contestants are Kellie, Taylor, and Chris.

On an entirely different topic, today is the 140th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's death. President Lincoln died early on the morning of April 15, 1865 after being shot in the head by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theater. Hopefully today all Americans will think for a moment about the glorious 16th president.
