Remedial Math and Reading for Chuck Norris?

In his WorldNetDaily column (HT: Dispatches), Chuck Norris is recommending a reduction in the size of congress. He likes the word “proportional” but doesn’t seem to be able to comprehend it.

He quotes the part of the constitution from article I section 2:

The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; . . .

But he apparently fails to read the entire thing, which (as amended) notes that:

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. . . . (Quoted from the 14th amendment which amends the text of the first sentence of the third paragraph of section 2)

He says:

If you’ve ever heard the saying, “Too many cooks in the kitchen,” then you know how I feel about Congress.

But then later he says:

I don’t only think there are too many cooks in Congress’ kitchen nowadays, but the numbers are stacked in discriminatory ways.

Perhaps instead of pushing for Bible teaching in public schools, he should go for better math and reading, and undertake some remediation himself.
