Surf over to one of the Ed Week blogs, such as Campaign K12 or NCLB: Act II, and see if Joel Packer's face pops up at the top of your screen, too.
Joel is a very nice guy with an unfortunate job (flacking all manner of dubious ideas for the National Education Association's federal policy shop). This advertising buy should remind us all that in the education "war of ideas," the NEA still has the big guns--i.e., the big money. But guess what? Our podcast can take his podcast any day.
