What difference will it make?
The obsession the Left has with Karl Rove is starting to look silly. Yes, he's an evil bastard and responsible for many of the dirtier tactics practiced by the Republicans over the past few elections and yes he's right smack-dab in the middle of the Plame leak investigation and yes, he cut his teeth way back in the 70's stealing the Young Republican election, but believe me, you don't want him fired.
That's why it's embarassing that Moveon is still calling for Bush to fire Rove and Air America is still selling "Fire Rove" gear. What if he does get fired?
George the Elder fired him 15 years ago and it didn't make one bit of difference. He came back. If he goes away now, not only is that one more albatross gone from around Bush's neck, but the only difference will be that Karl will have to move his office out of the White House.
If you believe for a second that he won't continue in the same role, only even more behind the scenes, you're crazy. Keep asking questions about him to keep him in the public eye, but enough with the "Fire Rove" silliness. You'd rather have him in the White House as a liability than out of the White House free to scuttle around in the shadows of backwater precincts in swing states like a plague-carrying rat.

Thomas, are you going to come back to the Big L before school starts.

Nope. Can't afford it until my loan money comes through, which at Case isn't until mid-September. Kinda sucks.
I might be back during fall break in October.
On the bright side, I will have fulfilled one of my life goals: missing an entire Nebraska summer. I, like you, hate the heat.

Nice. I made the same point a few weeks back at my blog and in comments elsewhere. Keep that cockroach out on the kitchen floor where I can see him.
Found you via a google search on ANWR. Think I'll wander around a bit...
