  • Ruminations – 31mar2009 (updated)

    George Rebane A correspondent brought my attention to an excellent article (‘On the Urgency of Restructuring Bank and Mortgage Debt, and of Abandoning Toxic Asset Purchases’) by John Hussman of Hussman Funds about what’s not going on in Washington but should be.  Hussman’s bottom line is that “(t)here is far too little debate about alternative…

  • Tea Party Time

    George Rebane   Well, April Fools Day is fast approaching, and on that appropriately named day many Americans will join the national tea party tax revolt by sending our electeds a simple yet elegant message that they are now spending us all into an egalitarian poverty.  To join the party, just drop a tea bag…

  • Ruminations – 29mar2009

    George Rebane A bit of financial crisis history from a 24sep08 Fox News broadcast – this link is from an RR reader in Oregon.  It was originally posted on YouTube but then removed.  I guess we’re not supposed to see it, but now it has been reprised here as a repost on YouTube from a…

  • General Chuck Fixes a Kitchen

    George Rebane The Sportsmens Club of Nevada County has a kitchen that’s a mite rickety and long of tooth.  The club’s board appealed to General Chuck Yeager, its most celebrated member, to lend a hand in raising some funds to upgrade the kitchen, and ‘A Night with General Chuck Yeager’ was put on everyone’s calendar…

  • Nevada County Economic Forecast – 2009 (9apr09 update)

    George Rebane Nevada County’s economic prospects were the subject of a 200 person gathering this morning at the GV Holiday Inn Express.  Always interested in things economic and financial, Jo Ann and I were there munching breakfast with the movers and shakers of our community – I think we were allowed in on a forged…

  • TechTest2009

    George Rebane The third annual merit scholarship examination for Nevada County’s high school seniors pursuing technology careers is scheduled for 4 April 2009 at the Nevada Union High School.  The merit part of this scholarship is somewhat unique today since the measure of merit is given by the students themselves instead of a committee looking…

  • Socialists in Denial

    George Rebane The intellectual Left seem to be the only holdouts on the now obvious direction of Hope and Change.  Their mantra, when confronted with a serious discussion about the country’s left turn, is ‘There’re no socialists here, oh no no nooooh!’  Meanwhile the socialists over the remainder of this planet are celebrating ‘America’s first…

  • Ruminations – 18mar2009 (21mar09 update)

    George Rebane The Clinton Reset Button show sure had an impact.  A week later the Russians escalated their standoff with the US by announcing a new military build up and signaling a harder line with Washington, in the process making our new Sec State look like a clown (more here). The Russians have now shoved that little device…

  • Ruminations – 17mar2009

    George Rebane Happy Saint Paddy’s Day to all!  Kinda wish folks from Estonia also had enough of a presence in America to have an annual celebration of our ethnicity and contribution to the country.  But we are such a minority that if we were to be recognized, so would the folks from East Timor - and…
