a Code Pink member at Rove's speech Monday. (Daily Texan)
Karl Rove was a guest of the College Republicans at UT last night and, Code Pink and other protesters aside, it appears to have been a relatively civilized event. The Q & A session at the end was moderated both by members of College Republicans and University Democrats, which have an impressive record of playing well with others on campus.
The Daily Texan did a longer interview with Rove, though, and they asked him about the SBOE textbook revisions.
- The Daily Texan: What are your thoughts on the State Board of Education’s social studies revisions, which many people consider conservatively biased? How do you think this is reflected in the polarization of conservatives and liberals throughout the state and nation?
- Karl Rove: I’ve been out of the state for much of the last three months, but these things need to be done with care and accuracy because we buy so many textbooks, and we drive the coverage for the rest of the country. We want to have a fair and balanced book depiction of historical events. (emphasis added)

Dear Miss Julie,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Michelle Doellman and I am the assistant editor of a new lifestyle magazine. Last year, I was the associate publisher with The Printed Blog, the world's first print newspaper comprised of blogs and other online content. You can read about The Printed Blog at www.theprintedblog.com and at blog.theprintedblog.com. You can read additional coverage at the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/22/technology/start-ups/22blogpaper.html?_r=1) and at hundreds of other newspapers around the world.
We're using the principles we pioneered with The Printed Blog to start a new type of print magazine, and we are seeking high-quality, user- generated, online content for a mockup. During our initial quest for content, we came across How to Have Sex in Texas and think it would be a perfect fit for the mock issue.
This mock-up will not be distributed to the general public; it may only be seen by potential advertisers and investors. We would love to use your content, with your permission of course, for this mock issue. You can get a sense of how the mock up will look by reviewing The Printed Blog at www.theprintedblog.com.
If you are interested, please send us an e-mail to michelle@printedmag.com, granting us permission to use your content. We are asking permission for the mock up issue only - if we begin to produce the magazine for public consumption, we will ask your permission again. Also, if you have a blog badge or logo, please send it to us and we will publish it with your content, along with your name and URL, and any other information (such as a company name) that you would like included with your photography or blog entry. If submitting photography, please send the highest quality images available. In return (if we use your work) we will send you three copies of the mock-up for your records. Please join us in creating a new lifestyle magazine made entirely of your voice and opinions. We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Michelle A. Doellman
Assistant Editor, Printed Mag
