how might i serve you?

"...Rove will no longer focus on policy but will be involved in long-term strategic planning as a deputy chief of staff and a senior adviser."

Or one could say that Rove will continue to do exactly what he's always done, but he's going to have a different job title and will start focusing more attention on the fact that the Republicans are going to be fucked in the mid-terms unless he starts working campaigns now.

That's my interpretation anyway.

I'm sad about McClellen though. I kind of liked him. He was no Mike McCurry--God, that man was good--but at least he managed to be the mouthpiece for one of the biggest PR coups in American political history. That'll look good on his resume.

It's another gorgeous day here in western Michigan. And, as usual, I am trapped inside sitting in a windowless corner. High points of my day included finding a Modern Library hardcover copy of Winesburg, Ohio at the Friends of the Library booksale for $2.00 and being called beautiful by a few library regulars who were loitering in the park during my all too brief break.
I should probably get out more.

This is clearly indicative of the current baroque American canon.
