Very nice. I think "but monkeys" is a term that is appropriate in the current context.

Found it to be a good read with good laughs all around.

My favorite was: "The Army of the Potomac had been soundly thrashed at all but a few battles — Antietam a significant exception — and commanders were being changed faster than Sandy Berger could shove documents down his pants."

Speaking of "but monkeys", Laura Ingraham's radio show is good listening -- Informative and hilarious. Check it out if you're interested at http://www.lauraingraham.com/

Great article. I've seen the book at the bookstore; I'll have to take a closer look at it.

there's a really bad "Little House on the Prairie" joke just lurking here, isn't there?

thoroughly enjoyed the article, was laughing all the way through.
