Powell's Conference

"Powell's Conference"

Sometime early in July while Secretary of State
Colin Powell was at the UN, an Iraqi television
reporter asked him a sarcastic question, and
Powell, without missing a beat gave the following
answer, and left him speechless.

"Mr. Secretary, isn't it true that only about 13%
of all Americans under the age of 25 know where
Iraq is on a map?"

"Yes, that's true - but unfortunately for you - they're
all Marines."

Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said
he would be willing to serve another term.

Greenspan went on to say,
"Where else would I get a job in this economy?"

"TV News"

A newscaster interrupted scheduled programming.
"More on candidates at 10 P.M.," he said.

The ten-year-old boy looked at his father in disbelief
and said,

"I didn't know they could call politicians 'morons' on
national television!"
