Powell that Ends Well

I see that Colin Powell has announced that he will resign.

I look into my magical crystal ball and scry this: Everybody who is not a moderate in this country will verily vent forth a stream of bile after his retreating backside.

Powell was a moderate in the truest sense of the word. And everybody hates a moderate... except other moderates. Let's hope his famous likability will trump that particular law of human nature.
