Like Hiring A Talk Host With No Radio Exper... Um... Forget I Said That

Well, whaddya know, you hire someone with zero experience and no idea what she's doing, and it doesn't work out: New York Mayor Bloomberg has "accepted the resignation" (that means he fired) schools Chancellor Cathleen Black after just three months, during which she lived up to consensus expectations, which is to say she botched the job. She mocked parents upset that a school was being closed, she made ill-considered jokes, and aides said she had to be taught practically everything from scratch. That's what happens when you decide to put a magazine publisher in charge of schools. (New York Times; subscription required)
