ROVE: Well, at least in the White House I was in, policy won out, but you had to be aware of the political fallout of what you were going to do in order to contain it and deal with it. You bet. But to — but first and foremost if — the president I worked for, George W. Bush said, you know what, let’s do right, and the politics will take care of itself. It didn’t mean you were blind to it, but it didn’t mean that you needed to focus first and foremost on what you thought was in the right interest of the country.

, the nation's first transgender mayor. Rasmussen was elected by the people of Silverton, Oregon on November 4th:
"Rasmussen, longtime manager of the local cinema, was also elected mayor in 1988 and 1990, and served four years -- but that was when he was wearing slacks and sport shirts to council meetings. The new Rasmussen -- who got breast implants a few years ago and began calling himself Carla Fong -- wears skirts, lipstick and high heels. The thing is, Rasmussen's been a fixture in this small former lumber mill town so long, people tend not to pay much attention to what he's wearing."
Rasmussen notices when they do though: "Guys come up to me in the bar and say, 'Hate to tell you this, but I saw this woman on the street the other day, and I'm thinking, great legs, nice tan, and she turns around and I go, 'Oh, my God, it's Stu!''...If I could have a face transplant, it'd be perfect. A face like this, only a mother could love. But people overlook the face now, because there's all this other real estate."
Rasmussen's gender identity has earned him notice nationally, and you could have bet on this:
"The Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., known for its protests across the country targeting gays, plans to picket Monday in downtown Silverton 'to speak some words of truth to this 60-year-old pervert,' according to the church's website.

Overheard in Detroitheads up for those men who may be regular Home Depot customers.
Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Dont be naive enough to think it couldnt happen to you or your friends.
Heres how the scam works:
Two seriously good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look.
When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say and instead ask you for a ride to another Home Depot. You agree and they get in the backseat. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet. I had my wallet stolen November 4th, 9th,10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th 29th. Also December 1st, 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th, 30th, three times last Saturday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.
So tell your friends to be careful.
P.S. Walmart has wallets on sale 2.

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the Managed Print Services: 2008 Market Report report to their offering. This report provides the definitive analysis of the Managed Print Services (MPS) market including key market trends, volumes, key competitor profiles, and MPS decision maker dynamics. The report covers North America and Western Europe.
Market Dynamics
How hard can it be to define managed print services? Interestingly, the term has evolved over the years in the printing and imaging industry, and it means different things to different people. This is due mainly to the continued convergence of technology, particularly digital and analog technologies. In past years, the copier model was a ‘labor-intensive’ support model, copiers were not on the network, and the financial arrangements were managed on a cost per page arrangement. In those days, copier services were managed by the facilities departments and management of the fleet was mainly done as an overseeing of a contract.
Digital printers were invented in the ‘70s and were eventually connected to the networks. IT departments were able to manage the fleets by remote management tools like Xerox CentreWare or HP’s Jetadmin (now called HP Web Jetadmin). From an IT perspective, “managing the fleet” had to do with tools to install and manage the drivers, configuring the printers, IP addresses, etc.
By the early ‘90s most companies had developed printing, fax, and copy (collectively called hardcopy) environments that were highly fragmented with multiple decision makers for different hardcopy devices, a widely distributed printer environment with some purchasing even taking place at the individual or department level, spiraling printing costs with the total cost of hardcopy often exceeding 3% of a company’s total revenues, and a lack of software and management tools to bring the fleets and hardcopy costs under control. At the same time, a few firms were finding ways to improve basic business processes by implementing streamlined document workflows, which leveraged new Multifunction Printer (MFP) technology. It was at this time that hardcopy vendors began selling the concept of Managed Print Services (MPS) to their largest enterprise customers.
Now we have ‘evolved’ to 2008 where there are a myriad of MPS offerings and services. The question now becomes what is meant when someone says MPS. The Photizo Group defines MPS as ‘outsourcing’ the hard and/or softcopy document management functions.
The key market dynamics have come together to help create the need for managed print services.
The key dynamics are:
Adoption of MFP technology – MFP’s have become ubiquitous in corporate America by bridging the gap between copier and printer technology. In addition, MPS-based products have become the on/off ramp enabler for new workflow applications which are the foundation of many potential business process optimization efforts.
Changing customers – Decision-making is being consolidated into a single organization, either IT or Facilities/Purchasing.
Shifting channels – IT and copier dealers are competing for the same customers and the result is declining margins. It is no longer feasible to be a ‘box pusher’ any longer, and as a result firms see offering MPS programs as a way to improve profitability and to capture market share. Customers now have a wide variety of options for implementing MPS programs, including utilizing local or national dealers or by utilizing a hardcopy vendors direct MPS program.
