By serious reformers’ rankings, Colorado and Louisiana lead the states in education reform, so how did they lose out in Race to the Top? Fredrick M. Hess of National Review argues after all the headlines and hullabaloo, the results were so dismal they threaten to bring the entire exercise into disrepute.

Conservative broadcaster Glenn Beck drew a huge crowd to the National Mall for a rally on Saturday. Attendees expressed alarm over the country’s direction and government spending, but politics wasn’t the only focus at the rally. Beck used the event as an opportunity to challenge President Obama’s religious beliefs, saying Obama “is a guy who understands the world through liberation theology, which is oppressor and victim.” NPR’s Robert Siegel talks to Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.

Russ Smith, Splice TodayGreat piece. Although sometimes I feel a little twang of sympathy for the President as his weaknesses are punished by right-wing media grotesques like Beck and Hannity, I cant help but recall the beatings that Republicans have endured for the past eight years. If you dish it you have to be able to take it and I think this is something that the left is having to come to terms with. "The dissolution of the nearly unanimous smugness that was ubiquitous from the moment it was obvious Barack Obama would win the 2008 election"-perfectI'm a little surprised Russ that you have so…

First, Attorney General Eric Holder wanted to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, mastermind of the 9/11 attack, in lower Manhattan — which nearly everyone, even Mayor Bloomberg (eventually), realized would be a standing insult to the memory of KSM's victims. Then came Obama's "I was for it before I was against it" stance on the Ground Zero…

For weeks now, the Obama administration has been leaking to reporters its intention to modify U.S. travel regulations to Cuba. Jose R. Cardenas of Foreign Policy argues the timing of this announcement is all wrong. Not only are any policy changes that could be construed as lessening the isolation of the Castro brothers’ barbaric and unrepentant regime counter-productive at this point, they muddy the real issues at hand.
