It is true.
I remember this old SNL sketch where Ronald Reagan would be bumbling his way thru photo-ops with children and kittens until everyone left. Then, he would press a secret button and everything would flip around like in “Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends” and, suddenly, Reagan would be speaking five languages and ultra-competently solving every problem while insulting the smart people on his staff.
Oh, here it is. Well, some of it at any rate.

Geoff and I have a mutual love of deeply competent characters who purposefully appear utterly hopeless. So, it only made sense to have Drunk Uncle Ulysses be just a front for Sherlock Grant, the man who sees into the hearts of men and nations with a single laser-like glance.

Douglass has some plan up his sleeve, but to bring it about, he’s going to need to find himself an army. Unfortunately, the closest one about is being led by a man who is perhaps not entirely ready for grand strategy at the moment. Great generals of the 18th and 19th century meet and exchange, well, not precisely pleasantries, but at least words… mostly… and it’s all in Episode 120: The Man Who Can’t be Spared!
