This Thursday, Colin Powell took to Facebook to brag about being way ahead of his time. "I was doing selfies 60 years before you Facebook folks," he wrote. "Eat your heart out Ellen!"

He cut the Iraqi army off and killed it. Then he killed it again. He's such a friend of Israel, he speaks Yiddish. Too bad Colin Powell—American general, war hawk, moderate Republican hero—is a bolshevik Euro-loving universal health care-wanting pinko.

As if these photos of Colin Powell cutting a rug—pursed lips conveying his boogie-woogie seriousness in one; hands-on-hips stance indicating he may be contemplating a hernia-inducing squat dance in another—weren't uncomfortable enough, now we have approximately 20 digital-video seconds of the former secretary of state grooving out to a Daft Punk song about staying up all night for the nookie. Also, included: Pharrell's croon, Katie Holmes Doing the Shoulders, and a full-club karaoke singalong. The Hamptons will embarrass you every time.

Former secretaries of state: They're just like us, right down to the emotional affairs with Romanian diplomats and the looking like dorks while dancing with your friends.

The hacker who obtained and released private email correspondence between President George Bush and his family and friends is on a new tear. "Guccifer," who earlier this week took over former Secretary of State Colin Powell's Facebook page, also broke into the ex-general's email account, and the email account of Clinton aide and confidant Sidney Blumenthal.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell is the latest powerful brand to be hacked. Powell's official Facebook page has been taken over and is being peppered with insults to his old boss George W. Bush as moderators fight to take back control. (The page seems to be down at the moment.)

The GOP is pretty racist. I could list examples, but we'd be here for the rest of eternity. This week's particular "widely believed racist conspiracy that some old, white Republican was dumb enough to say in public" comes from Mitt Romney co-chair and ex-George H.W. Bush chief of staff John Sununu, who said that Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama because Powell disagrees with Romney's foreign policy. Wait, no, it's because they're both black.

Did you hear? Colin Powell is racist. Maybe you heard that back in 2008, when it was a trope on right-wing blogs. But this week, Powell endorsed Barack Obama for president, even though logically there could be no reason to. So, if unreason it was, then it must've been race madness.

Drama in the Piers Morgan playpen! In an interview this evening, John Sununu, former New Hampshire Republican governor and Romney campaign co-chair, told Morgan the real reason why General Colin Powell endorsed Obama this morning: their skin colors match. Duh.

Now this is crazy: Colin Powell and CBS This Morning co-anchor Gayle King take advantage of a commercial break to bust out the chorus of Carly Rae Jepsen's insufferably infectious "Call Me Maybe" while Charlie Rose watches on.

Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi, an Iraqi defector under Saddam Hussein whose claims about the former dictator's mobile biological weapons programs were used heavily in the Bush Administration's public case for war, has an interesting story to tell everyone. The source, who, under the alias "Curveball" in intelligence reports, provided a foundation for Secretary of State Colin Powell's famous speech to the United Nations a month before the Iraq invasion, admits that he just made it up to get Hussein out of power.

Joy Behar smoothed things over with her Fox News nemesis; Ashton Kutcher fixed his drinking problem; and Facebook indulged in drinking and rehab at the same time. The Twitterati patched things up.

From President Barack Obama to Donald Trump and General Colin Powell, the History Channel's, America the Story of Us, offered an A-list perspective on the formation of the United States.

Ex-Secretary of State Colin Powell has gone "Apple crazy" and is now "considering joining Twitter."

The Daily Beast asks: what drug is President Obama on? According to his recent medical report, the President's doctors have prescribed "occasional medication use" for "Jet lag/time zone management." Is the President on Provigil?

Colin Powell is in favor of repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

Colin Powell was the guest on Larry King Live last night and the old lizard asked him about the Henry Louis Gates controversy, which provoked Powell to offer some interesting thoughts about the incident.

Brad Graham has a book out Tuesday on Donald Rumsfeld titled, By His Own Rules: The Story of Donald Rumsfeld. In an excerpt from the book in this week's Time, Rumsfeld blames the liberal media for cultivating his poor image.
