Colin Powell Resigns

Posted by timothy on from the complications-abound dept.

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."

  3. Help! Where's the spin? by spitzak · · Score: 4, Funny

    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!
