KNAPP: Why not take Congressional proxy voting all the way?

The Hill reports that US House Republicans, who made a show earlier this year of opposing remote and proxy voting in Congress, are warming to the latter practice. US Representative Paul Mitchell (R-MI) gave his proxy to US Representative Abigail Spanberger (D-VA)  in early December, declaring by tweet that “I will not risk my family’s health in order to vote on key items.” Fast-food cooks and grocery store cashiers don’t get to assign their work to proxies. They show up […]

KNAPP: Biden wants welfare for the wealthy? What else is new?

In Joe Biden’s “Emergency Action Plan to Save the Economy,” the president-elect proposes to “[f]orgive a minimum of $10,000 per person of federal student loans.” Wait, some protest. That would be a subsidy for the more well-off, at the expense of the less well-off. They have a point. “[D]ebt relief overall, the New York Times notices, “would disproportionately benefit middle- to upper-class college graduates … especially those who attended elite and expensive institutions, and people with lucrative professional credentials like law […]

KNAPP: I’m so sick of superlatives in 2020

“2020: The Worst Year Ever,” reads the cover of Time magazine’s December 14 issue. “There have been worse years in U.S. history,” admits author Stephanie Zacharek, but not, to her way of thinking, since World War Two. Between a heavy hurricane and fire season, police violence and the accompanying protests, a circus of a presidential election, and a global pandemic, Zacharek opines, none but the oldest among us can remember a year nearly as bad. Just how bad a given year […]

KNAPP: There’s no such thing as a “must-pass” bill

“Congress,” The Hill reports, “is barreling toward a veto showdown with President Trump over the mammoth must-pass annual defense policy bill.” At issue: The annual National Defense Authorization Act, which as usual has little to do with actual defense. NDAA bill to fuel more corporate welfare into the military-industrial complex Trump says he’ll veto the NDAA if it requires military bases named after Confederate generals to be re-named, as Congress desires. He also says he’ll veto the bill if it doesn’t […]

MAC’S KORNER: Positive thinking for this Thanksgiving

Until further notice, the days of the week are now called Thisday, Thatday, Otherday, Someday, Yesterday, Today, and Nextday. What do you call a pig that does karate? Pork Chop. Breaking someone's trust is like crumpling up a piece of paper. You can smooth it over, but it's never going to be the same again. Someone just called me normal. I've never been so insulted in my life. If you want to be trusted, be honest. Hello Jesus. I'm ready […]

KNAPP: COVID-19 mask mandates and the Law of the Instrument

“One day after the state reported a record 92 COVID-19-related deaths,” the Wisconsin State Journal‘s Mitchell Schmidt reports, “Gov. Tony Evers announced Wednesday he plans to extend the state’s emergency declaration and accompanying mask mandate through mid-January. … The current mask mandate was issued in July and extended by Evers in September.” The first two mask mandates didn’t achieve the desired result! Something must be done! Hey, I’ve got an idea! How about another mask mandate? At first blush this sounds […]

KNAPP: Section 230 doesn’t need “reform”

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 is under attack — disguised as a cry for “reform” — from politicians on both sides of the “major party” aisle. To what purpose? Well, let’s look at Section 230’s key provision: “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” US Naval Academy law professor Jeff Kosseff calls those words “The Twenty-Six Words […]

MAC’S KORNER: Crossing tracks and crossing hearts

After a tiring day, a railroad commuter settled down in her seat and closed her eyes. As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cellphone and started talking in a loud voice. "Hi, sweetheart, it's Eric. I'm on the train. Yes, I know it's the 6:30 and not the 4:30, but I had a long meeting." "No, honey, not with that blonde from accounting. It was with the boss." "No, sweetheart, […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Football’s most important player

EDITOR NOTE: This column is making a return due to slow news cycles. What’s the most important position on a football team? I vote for the center. Some pay more attention to the quarterback or running backs, but without the center, they’d just be standing around. The center starts each play. Although his primary job is to snap the ball to the quarterback, his first mission is to watch how the defense lines up. And if he sees something he […]
