Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Goldilocks and the bears

What’s the real meaning of the fairy tale about Goldilocks? To be frank (although Frank is not my name), “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” is more confusing than a stop sign on a roller coaster track. First, you gotta accept that a bear family owns a fancy two-story deep in the woods. These beasts wake one morning, choose porridge instead of raw animal parts, then go for a walk while it cools. Obviously, rich bears buy quality products like silver […]

KNAPP: Happy 20th anniversary. Guess what your gift is?

Twenty years after the 9/11 attacks, the US government is finally — well, probably, kinda sorta — ending its lost war with Afghanistan, drawing down its presence in Iraq, and reducing the heat of its “global war on terror” from a rolling boil to hot-tub temperature. That's good news, right? After two decades of getting groped at airports, searched and surveilled without a warrant or even probable cause, and paying through the nose to finance the murders of hundreds of […]

RIX QUINN’S MINUTE STORY: Modern history?

My friend Jim talks to middle school students about history. He starts off by asking what each of them knows about the past. “There are two types of history: ancient and modern,” one kid told him. “Modern is what happened in the last few years. Ancient was a long time ago…about 1970 or before.” When Jim told the guy he remembered 1970, the boy stared at him like he was a fossil. “Wow,” he marveled, “I can’t believe you’re still […]

KNAPP: Don’t expand draft registration – end it

In a rare moment of moral clarity, US Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) points out that “America’s daughters shouldn’t be drafted against their will.” As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, the usually bellicose Cotton voted against advancing the upcoming National Defense Authorization Act after committee chair Jack Reed (D-Rhode Island) added an amendment requiring women between the ages of 18 and 25 to register with the Selective Service System. It’s good to see Cotton on the right side […]

STEVES: A romantic breeze in Rome

A statue of Giordano Bruno marks the center of Campo de' Fiori — my favorite square in Rome. Five centuries ago, Bruno challenged the Roman Church and was burned at the stake right here. With each visit, I make a quiet little pilgrimage, staring into the eyes of brooding Bruno, pondering the courage of those early heretics. When in Rome, I use Bruno as a meeting point. (I like to say, "I'll be sitting under Bruno.") Tonight, I'm waiting for […]

KNAPP: It’s time to take away government’s social media privileges

“Modern technology companies have enabled misinformation to poison our information environment with little accountability to their users, US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said at a White House press briefing on July 15. “They’ve allowed people who intentionally spread misinformation — what we call ‘disinformation’ — to have extraordinary reach.” In follow-up questions, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki revealed that the Biden administration is “flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation. … Facebook needs to move more quickly to […]

QUINN: A glowing report on fireflies

What, exactly, makes fireflies so appealing? A guy once told me he figured fireflies and mosquitoes work together. When folks are trying to chase elusive fireflies, the mosquitoes take advantage of this to suck their blood. I agree that fireflies and mosquitoes probably cooperate. I don’t know what the firefly gets, but the mosquito wins a meal with mood lighting. Fireflies – also called “lightning bugs” – are actually beetles. Their flickering glow comes from luciferin, a chemical their bodies […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Three pigs

With time on my hands and no summer trips planned, I’ve been reading a book of fairy tales. I’ve found many versions of the Three Pigs classic. Here’s a condensed story. An old sow supports three grown sons. She tires of feeding them, and tells the boys to go “seek your fortune.” This means, “Get a job, you slovenly swine.” So, Pig # 1 quickly builds a straw home and straw bed. The lazy hog promptly falls asleep on it, […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Dating

I often eat lunch with a group of downtown buddies. Last meeting, we discussed our dating years. Some of these guys are currently unmarried, but not by choice. A few of them have something to offer a lady, but others might be disqualified from reputable dating sites. An uncle told me I should compliment each person who went out with me, but that wasn’t always easy. One girl had really bad halitosis, so I told her I always admired people […]
