The Karl Rove Ascension

Karl Rove is now, officially, in charge of pretty much everything at the White House.
But it’s mostly just a title change.
President Bush’s long-time chief political strategist is now assistant to the president, deputy chief of staff and senior adviser.
That’s a lot of titles. But of course Rove has even more nicknames. He’s been called “Bush’s guru,” “Bush’s brain,” “the man behind the curtain” and “the wizard of the West Wing.” Rove himself cracked that his reputation is “evil Rasputin.” And Bush alternately calls Rove “the architect,” “boy genius,” or “turd blossom” — the last a reference to a West Texas flower that grows in cow manure.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
