Executive branch announces that they intend to stop minting the Lincoln effigies. Interesting. Coinage is the quintessential act of the sovereign; practically the only interesting aspect of the UK privy council minutes.  Haven't looked at it, but I can't imagine that the president would have that authority.  So perhaps the interesting thing is that it's a logical point, like not printing the period on the end of the NYT motto, but one that would clearly contravene basic constitutional principles.

Also a bit off that the news is being dominated by these half-baked notions.  Half-baked bread can be unhealthy. If they actually did the time-and-motion studies and thought about them for a bit, some interesting change might be possible.
