Colin Powell Resigns
Anarcho-Goth writes "It is all over the media now. Secretary of State Colin Powell has resigned 'effective at your pleasure.' He says that he only planned to hold the position for one term anyway, but I'm sure the rumor mill has other ideas. This makes 6 resignations since the election. My local TV news described it as the most important position to resign so far. Isn't Secretary of State the most important cabinet position, period? Articles from CNN, The UK Guardian, The Associated Press, and Fox News."
When well those darn editors ever get it right? It's Fox "News".

Bush plans to reorganize the various Departents so that instead of each Department being overseen by a single Secretary, now all the various deparments will be directed by a unified Cabinet Board of Directors. This is being done to facilitate cross-departmental communications and to better defend our country against the terrorists.
The Board will consist of Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condaliza Rice, Paul Wolfowitz and Carl Rove. They will serve on the Board until we win the War On Terror.
I, for one, welcome our new Secretary Overlords. Heil Bush! Please make sure you have your papers ready.

Well you don't think a fucking moron like Bush can actually run a country do you?
As of this last election, he can run about 51% of the country. (That is apparently how many morons we have.)

I agree. The man who serves as our representative abroad will send a strong message to the rest of the world. So who will Bush pick? Well, I think that to tell the rest of the world just exactly how much the current Administration respects other countries, will carefully consider their suggestions, and cares about the people of all nations, President Bush will have the United States' diplomacy conducted by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
I can't possibly form any intelligent opinions without spin! But for some reason it is missing. I just need two things explained about all these resignations:
1. The left needs to explain why this is proof that Bush's second term will result in the destruction of life on this and several nearby planets.
2. The right needs to explain why this is proof that Bush's second term is the second coming of Jesus and a new era of enlightenment.
All I'm seeing is reasoning and sensible conjectures! That's no fun! I want assinine extreme examples! Please help!
...the fact that perhaps these people are so disgusted with a corrupt president that they resign, or the fact that all these (quite frankly dangerous) positions will now be being filled with hand picked people by the people who run that president?
