Briefly,

En route to Pitchfork music festival in Chicago so blogging via blackberry and limited to short post:

1) David Brooks' column today about community colleges is quite good, much more so than yesterday's higher ed piece in the Post from E.J. Dionne.

2) The Post review of the Dead Weather concert @ 930 club misses the point spectacularly, the whole enterprise is clearly a controlled experiment to see if rock greatness can be achieved through sheer force of charisma, stage presence, and overwhelming cool. (Answer: Indeed it can!)

3) Neal McCluskey's arguments seem to deliberately ignore the actual history of higher education in America over the last 50 years, more on this next week.
