Lincoln would be so proud...

Somewhere along the way, professional cheerleaders' roles changed. Back in the day they just had to stand on the sidelines, look cute and shake their pom-poms. Then in the mid-90's teams decided those ladies really had to earn that $40 a game and be dancers. Now, they need to be full-on dance professionals. Also, if you could be related to someone famous, that would be great.

In honor of Presidents' Day, we're going to look at the case of one Bonnie Lincoln, a cheerleader for the New Jersey Nets, who also happens to be related to former President Abraham Lincoln. In addition she works in a law office and as you would imagine, is pretty hot. I think President Lincoln would be really proud. After all, he is credited with saying

"With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds... Now, who wants a tee-shirt?!?!?"
