I spoke at the Monday Meeting here in New York about Lincoln Unbound last night. It’s a very libertarian crowd and one of the questions from the audience was, “What would Lincoln have thought of Bitcoin?” That gave me an opportunity to talk about the perverse pleasure as an editor of giving writers unwelcome assignments. My favorite since I got Jonah to live as a vegan for a week — producing a piece where all Jonah did was complain about the assignment — was getting Betsy to live on Bitcoin for a week. If you missed it, here is her piece, where she spends at least a little time complaining that you can’t use Bitcoin at bars.

In other Lincoln news, here is my piece over at Breitbart on Lincoln’s ethic of “work, work, work.”

And Matt Lewis has a nice post on the book today here.
