COMMENTARY: Trump impeachment set to be another waste of taxpayer dollars

I will be the first to admit that I'm no fan of President Donald J. Trump. I was so disgusted with the duopoly's candidate-throat-shoving via the GOP's Trump and the Democrats' Hillary Clinton. I voted for Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson without hesitation because I'm beyond disgusted with both major parties. The current attempts in the House to impeach Trump with a full vote expected before the end of the 2019 session can be somewhat equated to the 1998 impeachment of […]

OP-ED: How will universal healthcare change human behavior?

Co-pays are gone, premiums are gone, all out of pocket prices are gone! - Bernie Sanders at the DNC presidential debate on Oct. 15th, concerning his universal health care program. The healthcare industry is very complex. There are numerous jobs that require accreditation; all the producers of hospital equipment and medicine; the construction contractors that have to be hired to build the facilities and there are probably a hundred or more other factors that are involved in providing health care. […]

COMMENTARY: Consolidation is inevitable, so quit whining

A local news outlet wrote an editorial Tuesday, citing they were not convinced on the issue of consolidation. I guess none of the editorial staff at Hillsboro's The Journal-News understand the whole idea of consolidation, more or less the definition of it. The word gets tossed around a lot, from science and technology to economics, but the definition of consolidation is simply put: the merging or integration of many items into one Consolidations have taken place many times in the business […]

Open doors to the past by visiting Europe’s time-warp homes

Many of Europe's time-warp houses — sights that bring you back to a bygone era — get only a few thoughtful travelers, overshadowed by big-name museums. Some of the ones I highly recommend may make people say "Huh!?" But they're the sights that might just make your day. For example, Glasgow's Tenement House offers a chance to drop into a perfectly preserved, 1930s-era, middle-class residence. The National Trust for Scotland bought this otherwise ordinary row home, located in a residential neighborhood, because […]

Explore port wine in Portugal’s Douro Valley

One of Portugal's most endearing slices is the Douro River Valley, the winding, terraced region that produces the country's beloved port wine. This is Portugal's answer to Germany's romantic Rhine River Valley. But unlike the Rhine, the Douro was never a strategic military location. So, rather than castles and stony ramparts, visitors encounter farms and sleepy villages. The only thing fortified here…is the wine. The Douro region, where port is produced, stretches along the river of the same name, about […]

Europe’s crazy rich royals and their lavish retreats

The royal families of the past — like those of the present — were fond of their countryside getaways. These lavish retreats provided an escape from the city and the summer heat, a place for diversions like hunting and horseback riding, and enough land to build grand showpiece palaces and gardens. While Europe has many royal summer palaces, a few are remarkable for their sheer size, over-the-top opulence, and the larger-than-life personalities who built them. The granddaddy of European palaces […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Baby boomers

In the U.S. alone, there are about 78 million Baby Boomers. These are people born between 1946 and 1964. Every fourth person you see at the dentist, carwash, or leg waxing salon is a Boomer. This means that (1) we still have some of our own teeth, (2) we may drive around aimlessly, and (3) some of us grow hair where we don’t want it. Boomers lived through both good times (man on the moon) and bad (mooning cars). We […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Cheap weddings

My cheap friend Buddy -- who’s tighter than last year’s thong—got married last year. Below is his advice. But my guess is, most brides would veto all these ideas: Location? Ask a friend with a big den to borrow his house. If you remove the furniture, and guests stand up, you can squeeze more in. (And maybe if you invite the neighbors, they’ll let you park cars in their driveways.) Invitations? Handwritten invitations add a personal touch, especially if scribbled […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: School lunches

It’s been a long time since elementary school, but I still remember those cafeteria lunches. Back then they cost 27 cents each…a great bargain for a hungry ten-year-old. First choice on the cafeteria menu was meat. Most likely it came from the chicken or cow family. If not, it had been an animal at some point in its past. That meat was burger-sized, covered with batter, fried to a golden tan and drowned in grayish-white gravy. It looked like a […]
