| Powell Undergoing Surgery for Prostate Cancer |
| 2003-12-15 |
| Secretary of State Colin Powell was undergoing surgery for prostate cancer Monday morning, the State Department announced. Powell, 66, was expected to remain at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington for several days after the surgery, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said in a written statement. "He will be on a reduced schedule while he recovers from the operation, " Boucher said. Get well soon. Another reason to have Baker doing the heavy lifting on the negotiating scene |

| #3 Lair posted this at Amish Tech Support...think about it; it makes a lot of sense: What? No Roadmap To Being Cancer-Free? No Genital Accords coming from the cancer-appeasing members of his family, worked out in secret with the insurance company without Colin's approval and then announced publicly? No parlay and negotiations between Colin and the cancerous tumors in his "disputed genital area?" (It's the holiest site of all of orgasm, you know) No continuous six-month waivers for acting upon the deadly tissue, re-upping the lease that the rapidly-spreading malignancy uses to gain a foothold upon the rest of Colin Powell's body? No blaming his own body's white blood cells and T-cells for fighting the cancerous insurgency while killing off the occasional "normal" cell? It's funny how when it comes life and death for Colin the surgeons move quickly in to extract the malady. |

| #1 Was just thinking we hadn't heard much from ol' Colin lately. Now we know why. |
