According to his new memoir , a 9-year-old Rove affixed a Nixon sticker to his bicycle, prompting a leftist girl child to give him a bloody nose. We must find this girl and make her into a folk hero. The fable of Rove's beat down at the hands of a little girl also appeared in a 2002 article in Utah's Deseret News , where we learn that tyke was Catholic and "put me down on the pavement and whaled on me and gave me a bloody nose. I lost my first political battle." The year was 1960, when Rove would have lived in Sparks, Nevada. (I think.

"Ms. Mitler is offering a high-end service that hopes to find a thriving market in unemployed 20-somethings. For $400 an hour, she is coaching [them] to land their first job." As if being an unemployed 20-something weren't humiliating enough. [ NYT ] [ Pic via NoStarClothing ] Published by Original source : http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gawker/full/~3/4Atguq2D...
