More on Steve Nass

Paul Soglin of Waxing America nails Rep. Nass, this time for his skepticism towards research at UW about the positive effects of playing fantasy baseball online. The trick to understanding Nass is realizing there is no explanation. His political goal is undermining UW-Madison, and his strategy is to level a dull pastiche of criticisms -- a few potentially relevant, most ass-backwards -- at campus life to make people scared of what goes on here. To fix a university, you need to respect how intellectual life operates and know when it's not working. Nass thinks he can eke out a philosophy of education with random jabs and accusations.
