The Evil One resigns

Posted by annette at 04:47 PM ET

Karl Rove's work is done, apparently.

The Economist has a thoughtful/ detailed blurb about Rove's resignation here. It cites Rove's ability to get Bush re-elected in 2004 as his biggest triumph, which, you have to admit, was quite the feat. Rove knows his market: the American people, unfortunately, wanted the big, dumb approachable "guy next door" to threaten bad guys and reassure them.

It's hard to deny that Rove is a brilliant strategist. Maybe he'll have a crisis of conscience and put his strategizing skills to work for some charities as he eases into his retirement. Any bets on what he might get behind? Al Gore's Save Our Selves? Valerie Plame's book tour?

I have never been much in favour of online shopping. The idea that the ancient physical delight of strolling the marketplace or bazaar and taking in its sights and smells might one day be replaced by clicking and dragging from a desktop is one I have always found more repugnant than convenient. But that was before I found out aboutWhat is Etsy? If you ask its founder, 27 year old Brooklyn based Rob Kalin, Etsy is "a childhood word from a Fellini movie" that he chose because "it embodies the curiosity of imagination" (the naughty Kalin has also playfully told the press that Etsy comes...

The Government's examinations watchdog used the hotels to host meetings in the course of a recent review it was carrying out into the secondary school curriculum. advertisement The full extent of the spending only emerged after a whistleblower within the organisation raised concerns. Matthew Elliott, the chief executive of the Taxpayers' Alliance, said: "The QCA's focus should be on improving the qualifications and exams for children in this country, not living the high life at taxpayers' expense. "If their offices are not large enough for a conference and they need outside accommodation, they should pick cheaper locations rather than frittering away other people's hard earned cash. "The QCA should show a bit more humility and respect for...
