I've disagreed with Neal McCluskey before--about the federal role in education, the effectiveness of vouchers, the correct spelling of the name "Neal"--but I had a mostly positive reaction to his take, posted today on National Review Online, about ED in '08, the platform of which McCluskey finds as "inspiring as bologna on Wonderbread...without mustard." I suspect Mike won't like McCluskey's disparagement of national standards, though.
