And a sad day for the District of Columbia

Michelle Rhee, who held out hope that the thousands of children mired in the nation's worst school district might actually get an education, has resigned her post. Congratulations to the district's inept teachers, who held onto jobs they can't perform. And to President Obama, who sat by and did nothing while his own children were  limo-delivered to Sidwell Friends. And to the voters of Washington, who failed to reelect the mayor who appointed Rhee, and who actually believed in hope and change. Instead we get more of the same. It's a sad day for the kids, for the District, and indeed for the nation. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
