From Google News' headlines this morning (in succeeding order)Powell rejects Islamophobia
Powell's endorsement of Obama shows his political transformation
Taliban says they killed aid worker for spreading Christianity

Oh, how times have changed, and thank God for Powell's transformation. Now that he's seen the light and endorsed the Messiah, he's a wise, valued statesman. Twas not always thus: (from The Daily Kos)
Self interest the one and only
things that guides Powell.
Powell has no principles he says
and does what he thinks will
help him and that is all that matters
to him.
He is Republican because Republicans
raised him up to Power and because
Republicans were willing to give
him more since he would a rare black
Republican instead of one of money black democrats.
Even as for those stated political
beliefs he is only saying what
he thinks will gain him favor in the
press. So don't think much of him
because he says something you agree
with, let the political winds
and the media change their tune
and he will too.
Powell really is a low-life.
Powell is a true Wormtongue.

I’m confused; I thought this was a Greenwich real estate blog…

Posts like this are the reason that so many independents and moderate Republicans are voting for Sen. Obama this November. Citing a random DailyKos poster's disparaging remarks about Colin Powell, a retired US Army General/former Secretary of State, as if his comments are somehow credible is most disappointing. For a more insightful source, here's a link to Time's piece on the endorsement: http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1851832,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topics

You must be a new reader and, probably, soon to be a former reader. Sorry about that.

Oh, anonymous independent/moderate Republican, please don't go away!

Maybe we can join together and convince Chris of the error of his ways. He's a smart fellow in many ways...I'm sure that he's worth the effort.
