    Jeff Pelline, Nevada County, Christina Dabis, Board of Supervisors, county finances, County Treasurer

  • We Miss You Harry

    George Rebane Old Harry got more than he bargained for in April 1945 when they handed him the schnitzel, told him FDR had died, and that he had the watch now.  The Allies in Europe were closing in on Berlin, and Okinawa – one of the greatest battles of the war – was starting in…

  • ‘No Representation Without Taxation’

    George Rebane In ‘A Fair and Just Tipping Point’ RR covered the issue of what happens when most of our citizens become wards of the state – i.e. wards of those who pay taxes.  Now the cry rising from the successfully employed part of the nation is that the tipping point has already been passed,…

  • Nate Beason on Board of Supervisors Raise

    [gjr – I asked Supervisor Beason to expand on the recent raise the BoS voted for itself so as to give some needed background and nip any rumors in the bud.  For additional questions, Nate can be reached at his BoS email nate.beason@co.nevada.ca.us.  Many thanks to Nate for the prompt reply.] George- 1. The BOS voted…

  • Communitywide Election Nite Celebration (updated 4nov08)

    Dixie (of KNCO fame) is announcing the first communitywide election nite party at the Miners Foundry.  Details on Dixie Fix (but careful not to trip over JeffP’s lower lip which seems to be sticking out a little in the comments).  This event, inviting citizens of all political stripe, sounds like a social experiment not to miss, especially…

  • How We Got Here

    George Rebane A current poll shows that 71% of Americans believe Obama’s economic policies will serve the country better than McCain’s policies.  Now I’m not even sure that 71% of Americans know what an economic policy is, let alone differentiate between those of the two senators.  But that really doesn’t matter does it?  The main…

  • Singularity Signposts – 27oct2008

    George Rebane Brainy Robots and Longer Unemployment Lines. This is one of the issues covered during the third annual Singularity Summit in San Jose last Saturday.  RR readers are familiar with this issue and the MSM and our government are blind to it.  Reading this report and its comment thread gives you an idea of…

  • Ruminations – 27oct2008

    George Rebane No matter how much they exaggerate, political cartoons do reveal values and perceptions of truth.  This morning our beloved Onion featured two revealing left-wing cartoons.  One showing Greenspan in the wreckage of “unregulated free markets” when any student of current events knows we have had no such thing.  The other showing McCain and…

  • Global Warming – GIGO

    On NC Media Watch our intrepid applied scientist Russ Steele has done a great piece of work showing how temperature data from automated surface observation stations (ASOSs) across the country are being misused for political purposes in the great global warming fiasco.  Russ does a detailed analysis of the ASOS data from the Reno airport…
