Guest Speaker

We had another guest speaker at work today, and it was another member of W’s administration – Colin Powell.  I kind of liked him – a military no-nonsense type, but proved to be an engaging and interesting story teller.  Of course, lots of questions I wish that were asked but were not – in particular, concerning the Iraq War and the phantom weapons of mass destruction.  And other than touching on immigration (being an immigrant himself) his current political views were not discussed, which is a shame because I think despite being a Republican he supports many liberal and centrist causes.  He endorsed Obama and Clinton, and does not like Trump (a “national disgrace”, “no sense of shame”, “not qualified”).  Interesting fact that I didn’t know – he came third in the 2016 presidential election.
