A lighthearted look at the news of the day:
The Iowa General Assembly is in session, but apparently lawmakers there forgot to repeal Murphy’s law. Or, as they now say in election management circles, who needs Russian hackers when you’ve got the new Iowa caucus app?
---
Actually, the Iowa model may be the nation’s best defense against election interference. Make things so confusing the bad guys will never figure it out. The only downside is we may never know who wins.
---
If Donald Trump and Mitt Romney have anything in common, it is that both of them hope to be remembered as having unimpeachable character.
---
What’s the difference between the impeachment trial and an NBA game between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Cleveland Cavaliers? Both have predictable outcomes, but only one will invite witnesses.
---
Meanwhile, it may safely be said that, contrary to what she may have said, it’s not true House Speaker Nancy Pelosi didn’t give a rip about the president’s state of the union address.
---
Utah’s David Neeleman wants to start another new airline. This one, called Breeze, promises to be more customer-friendly than airlines currently operating. I think most travelers today would settle for attendants who at least smile when they drag you kicking and screaming from a flight because they need to make room for airline employees.
---
Neeleman wants to follow the pattern set by rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft. Passengers would use an app to buy tickets, rent cars and reserve hotel rooms. Wake me when I can summon a plane to my front door.
---
If it really was like ridesharing, I’d be able to sit in the cockpit and rate the pilot on how chatty he or she was.
---
Utah lawmakers are considering a bill that would do away with straight-ticket voting in elections. Wait, is there more than one party in Utah?
---
Has anyone checked how the new worldwide epidemic out of China is affecting sales of the Toyota Corona? Would it be ironic if ads for the car went viral?
