Human beings are chimpanzees who get crazy drunk on power. By saying that our leaders are power-drunk chimpanzees, am I in danger of wrecking the morale of our soldiers fighting and dying in the Middle East?

When I was a kid, I really wanted a metal detector for Christmas, convinced I was going to find buried treasure and could retire at 12.
