OUR VIEW: Let’s move on from the midterm election

The 2022 election has been considered "the most important election of all time." The end result last week proved once again that it most certainly was not. There was no red wave, and there really wasn't the dominance that Democrats purported to have. We're one week past the election, and the Democrats and Republicans are continuing their incessant bickering. It, unfortunately, will not be any better with the gridlock of a Republican-majority House and a Democrat-majority Senate. The toxicity has […]

KNAPP: Time for the spoiler whining

Chase Oliver earned 2.1% of the vote in Georgia's U.S. Senate race. Supporters of Herschel Walker and Sen. Raphael Warnock call Oliver a spoiler because he forced the election to a December 6 runoff election. Here we go again. Yet another “third party” candidate has “spoiled” “major party” candidates’ victory party plans by “stealing” votes that rightfully belong to … well, someone else. Libertarian Chase Oliver garnered a little more than 2% of the vote in Georgia’s U.S. Senate race. […]

EDITORIAL: America loses on Election Day

The looming darkness this weekend has nothing to do with us reverting back to standard time. That's a short-term problem of little importance. The looming darkness rather comes from the upcoming midterm elections on Tuesday. A looming storm that has been plagued with factually incorrect political ads, a cavalcade of clowns as candidates, and mudslinging. As usual. We're told in our elections that there are only two choices to select: Democrat and Republican. In most cases, that's wrong. In 35 […]

KNAPP: Things always change with Election Day

"Election Day" has become a fuzzy concept lately. Officially it falls on “the Tuesday next after the first Monday in the month of November.” However, most states offer early voting in person or by mail these days. Millions of Americans have already cast their votes. The probability that we won’t know all the winners and losers on "election night" is in the neighborhood of 100%. The U.S. Senate race in Georgia may well go to a runoff. Some Congressional races […]

QUINN: Really ancient food

Sometimes I wonder how our ancient ancestors survived without food like breakfast cereal and ice cream. But maybe they didn’t realize what they were missing, because pre-historic television commercials got such poor reception. Seriously, consider the paleolithic period, which covers about 2.5 million years. Up until 12,000 years ago, these folks were hunters and gatherers. They just kind of wandered around, searching for fruit, vegetables, and slow animals that looked tasty. Their housing was basic. They lived in huts, teepees, […]

KNAPP: Look for the Libertarian label Nov. 8

In Illinois, the Libertarian Party statewide candidates have no ties to the Republican-aligned Mises Caucus. In other states, you might not be so lucky, so research your ballot well on November 8. During election years, attention tends to turn to “swing state” races that might affect which “major” party ends up with majorities in the US House or US Senate. Earlier this year, Arizona was widely considered one of those “swing states.” Incumbent US Senator Mark Kelly (D) is looking […]

KNAPP: Should you even vote?

As I write this, we’re 47 days away from the November 8 general election. Voters will elect candidates to all 435 U.S. House seats, 35 U.S. Senate seats, and other offices that vary from state to state. As close as that sounds, in some places, it’s even closer. “Early voting” begins 46 days before Election Day in Minnesota and South Dakota, 45 days early in Vermont, Virginia, and Wyoming, and 40 days early in Illinois and Michigan. There are shorter […]

FACTS FOR FAMILIES: Monarch butterflies, milkweed, and mowing

Most people that know me know that I am very passionate about protecting monarch butterflies.  Their numbers have been rapidly declining each year, primarily due to loss of habitat. So recently when I turned onto the country road leading to my house and saw that the ditches that had been full of milkweed were completely mowed down, I thought it would be appropriate to republish this article from 2018. I do my best to encourage people to plant milkweed seeds, […]

QUINN: My favorite meal – pizza

Here’s a great question from a Texas reader: “Why is the pizza round, the box square, and the slices cut into triangles?” This is a complicated question for me. In school, I had so much trouble with geometry they put me in a simpler class called “Meet Mr. Number Guy.” So, I asked several people about this, and here’s what they told me. (What they didn’t tell me, I made up.) First is the square box. These are easier and […]
