Politicians and generals
As the Peninsula Campaign enters its 145th year, President George W. Bush said he doesn't intend to encourage the direct descendant of Gen. George McClellan, who is still in charge of the Army of the Potomac, to make a change in policy, saying politicians in Washington shouldn't tell generals what to do.
Confederate forces abondoned the fight in 1907 and the area is now largely home to Cracker Barrel restaurants and filling stations, but Bush told reporters today that the campaign is improving conditions. Gasoline prices in that part of Virginia are below the national average, and pecan logs are in plentiful supply.
New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman says Bush could have another six months to show progress, at which point, "The American people will demand to know why we've been funding an Army in Southeast Virginia for nearly 150 years."
The Associated Press reports that presidential candidate John Edwards got another haircut, this time at FastCuts, but he left a big tip and his house is really, really big.
