Great move by the Bush Administration!

James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, has been appointed the Secretary of Soul and Foreign Minister of Funk by Secretary of State Colin Powell. Good God!

Secretary Powell (full text of speech here ) did not miss an opportunity to criticize our long-time allies (Wow. Anti-administration spin is easy to do), however, saying ““I could use you on those diplomatic conferences that I have to go to, sitting there all day long (in) meetings that went on forever and ever.” There was no immediate reaction from the French or Russians. CAN WE HIT IT AND QUIT? I SAID, CAN WE HIT IT AND QUIT?

LL Cool J also had great things to say about the Hardest Working Man in Show Business: “He’s one of the cornerstones of Hip Hop. …In music law there are three Bs — there’s Bach. …There’s Beethoven. …And then there’s Brown — James Brown! … I couldn’t leave here without commenting on one thing. …I love that hair! I’m wearing this hat because I don’t have that hair!”
