Speaking of that *thing* -- I'm watching a crime/trial segment on Dateline, and there's a line one of the lawyers has now said twice .. and it SO concisely says SO much.

CHARACTER DICTATES BEHAVIOR.

One surprise in the local station news video ... COLIN POWELL WAS THERE. It doesn't get a mention on the Northrup site video, though.

Hmmmmmmmmm. "Former Secretary of State Colin Powell -- who was also chairman of the joint chiefs of staff under George H.W. Bush -- was in attendance, though he was not on the platform."

And wow .. all of a sudden Powell's hair has turned white.

It's here in the rundown of dignitaries in attendance on the left side ..

Yahoo had a few photos of Powell and his wife at the ceremony, but I decided not to post them.
