Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Dog days

I've always wondered why they call this month "the Dog Days of August." Frankly, that puzzle hounded me. Finally, after barking up several wrong trees, I sniffed out an answer. Long, long ago (before “reality” television), ancient astronomers named a star “Sirius.” They called it the Dog Star because it was part of the constellation Canis Major (the greater dog). Sirius usually rose during July, and burned brightest during steamy late August days, when everyone sweats more than an ice […]

COMMENTARY: Questionable ethics of St. Jerome Parish’s Fancy Farm Picnic panders to political duopoly, excludes Libertarian candidates

An annual event hosted by a Kentucky Catholic parish may have their not-for-profit status at risk following a July 26 letter. St. Jerome Parish, which hosts the annual two-day picnic at Fancy Farm, an unincorporated community in the northwestern part of Kentucky, and the event's organizers drafted a letter July 26 denying Libertarians time to speak during the candidate speeches on Saturday, August 3. It referenced a letter from Libertarian gubernatorial candidate John Hicks and running mate Ann Cormican, written […]

COMMENTARY: Government, leave kids alone and let them make a buck selling lemonade

In the past several years, there has been a crackdown by government officials and law enforcement against young entrepreneurs, kids who sell lemonade and iced tea to people traveling around the neighborhood. These kids are perhaps wanting to make money to get that newest toy or if they're willing to work hard, raise money for charitable causes like Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation or Compassion International. Now, neighborhoods are under constant assault from police and politicians who feel kids should be […]

COMMENTARY: Yellow journalism from so-called libertarian outlets aren’t helping the cause of the Libertarian Party

A "news piece" by Ryan Lau from supposedly libertarian news outlet 71 Republic came out today bashing the Libertarian Party regarding its finances, but it appears Mr. Lau didn't do any research at all. This commentary is not to snap back at the content and headline that screams "hit piece". This is to feature the backlash received on social media following publication over the unsubstantiated and unverified information the publication chose to publish. From Libertarian National Committee at-large representative Joe […]

Bratislava: Slovakia’s capital makes a remarkable comeback

Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia and once a nearly desolate ghost town, is one of the big surprises of my recent travels. Its compact old town bursts with colorfully restored facades, lively outdoor cafés, and swanky boutiques. Its ramshackle industrial quarter, just east of the center, is rapidly being redeveloped into a forest of skyscrapers. The hilltop castle gleams from a recent facelift. And even the glum communist-era suburb of Petržalka, right across the Danube, has undergone a Technicolor makeover. […]

Iceland’s steamiest geothermal sights

Iceland, formed long ago by volcanoes, is known for its otherworldly landscape, with steaming fields and percolating mud. The volcanic activity produces naturally heated water, which Icelanders have cleverly harnessed not just as an energy source, but for thermal baths and pools. Geothermal experiences — both visual and immersive — are worth seeking out on a visit here. Wandering through the colorful terrain of a geothermal field is a classic Icelandic treat. The most visited geothermal sight is Geysir, home […]

COMMENTARY: OK, we’ll bite. Why doesn’t Bill Gates believe we should take vacations and weekends off?

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- I have been reading a MarketWatch article "Bill Gates doesn’t believe that everyone should take vacations and weekends off" and have read it several times over for the past hour. I have to admit I am a bit confused about the deceptive headline alone. Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates stated during a conference last weekend that "he didn't really believe in vacations" while building his tech giant from the foundation up. He was essentially stating before […]

COMMENTARY: Municipal governments have become equally fiscally irresponsible as the state of Illinois

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- It is no secret that Chicago has a century-long track record of fiscal irresponsibility. That ultimately trickled down to Chicago Public Schools, which has shown a four-decade track record of reckless spending with no reforms being taken. Our state government in Springfield is a contributing factor to municipal governments overspending or imposing fiscally irresponsible decisions, something that has occurred for over four decades. With a fiscally irresponsible billionaire socialist in the Governor's Mansion and an equally irresponsible […]

Tasty and convival tapas in Spain

When it comes to eating in Spain, I love gathering around the table or bar for tapas — a parade of small dishes served family-style. I never tire of them. The experience is like an edible scavenger hunt, where I collect small portions of seafood, salads, meat-filled pastries, and deep-fried tasties, and piece them together for a light evening meal. My tapas memories are vivid: In the heart of Spain's Andalucía region, on a warm summer evening, I elbow up […]
