This is one of those stories in which I am of mixed feeling.
I don’t think he is the evil incarnate that the liberals claim, so there is no reason for him to resign.

Karl Rove, a political adviser to President George W. Bush and a lightning rod for anger among Democrats, will leave the White House on Aug. 31, Rove told the Wall Street Journal.
“I just think it’s time,” Rove said in an interview with the newspaper published on Monday.
“There’s always something that can keep you here, and as much as I’d like to be here, I’ve got to do this for the sake of my family.”
At the same time, he is obviously a distraction to the country and maybe if he leaves the libs will be forced to ignore him and start focusing on real issues.
The libs are still stinging from the disappointment of not being able to indict him for something. This will not be a salve to their wounds, they didn’t just want him gone, they wanted him vilified, jailed and shamed.
As it is he is leaving on his own. That’s gonna drive them mad, and I expect Kos to be filled with a joint chorus of cheers he is gone and boos that he is not heading to jail.

I was asked about my guitars, so here is a list of what I have and what I had. I have to admit I am an obsessed guitar player and collector. This is pure Guitar Acquisition Syndrome (GAS) at work.
Yes, I have bought and sold a lot. Yes I regret many of the sales. That’s how it is with musicians, I am told by many other who share my story (and likewise lament their losses).
I favor Dean Guitars. Heavily. They have the best products on the market in their class, in my opinion. Were I to join a band and tour, Dean is who I would seek an endorsement from.
Pity they don’t endorse blogs.
6 of my 11 guitars are Dean, 2 are Fenders and the others one offs.
Likewise I seem to be drawn back to Peavey amps. My first amp was a Peavey and now I have two with a third on the way.
First up is my baby, my favorite of all. This guitar was a limited edition that I saved and preordered. The neck plays like glass and the tone is astonishing, and yet it is actually not the most expensive of my guitars. While the sensible thing would be to pack it away and keep it in collectors condition, I cannot. The guitar begs to be played and it plays well. I took it with me to Guitar Center to sound test an amp, and I enjoyed the surprise on the door attendants face as he checked it in: “Serial Number?” he asked? “2″ I replied. It gets a lot of looks.
