TRANSITION: 3rd Group To Focus On Personnel / Appointments

A knowledgeable source tells me that, in addition to the policy and administrative review teams that have already been discussed, there will be a 3rd group within the education transition effort focused specifically on personnel / appointments.  This makes sense, given how many resumes they're going to be getting.  No word on who will handle those duties or whether they'll be under Winston or separate from her.  Meanwhile, as of Sunday night there's still not been any official confirmation (or denial about Darling-Hammond's role as policy team leader (or Clinton's decision on the SOS job, for that matter). 

Oh, and Slate wants Joel Klein -- or Bill Gates -- for Education Secretary (Why Obama should fill his Cabinet with geniuses).

If Obama needs a cabinet secretary who is "a bit autistic," how about someone who is so single-minded that he/she would seek a "declaration of emergency" to implement their educational policy.

Maybe we should fire the person who taught Government to Rhee and Fenty.

I hope the writers of the Onion catch these stories.
