You can get a good look at a school district by sticking your head up a hurricane's... No, wait. It's gotta be your bull.

I try to stay out of post-Katrina rebuilding posts. That's Pat's department. But I picked up this little gem from the Washington Post that was too good to pass up:

Education Secretary Arne Duncan called Hurricane Katrina "the best thing that happened to the education system in New Orleans" because it forced the community to take steps to improve low-performing public schools, according to excerpts from a television interview made public Friday.

Look, I get the point Arne Duncan is trying to make. But wow that was a bad way to put it. And given some of the problems the RSD is having, I'm not so sure it's even an accurate statement if delivered in a sane manner.
