  • Debt and Deficit Deception

    George Rebane Debt or deficit, what’s the difference?  To the overwhelming majority of voters, not much.  Obama’s promise not to “add one dime to the deficit” snugly pulls the wool over the eyes of these people and almost all journalists.  RR readers know that deficits measure the annual increase in national debt in dollars per…

  • Ruminations – 8sep2009

    George Rebane Obama continues making “Depression mistakes”.  Even selected media in Great Britain are beginning to notice (here).  Part of the problem about this wool over the country’s eyes is the myth that FDR did anything other than draw out and deepen the misery of the country during his first two terms.  WW2 was the…

  • Hensleys Celebrate 30th Lakeside Labor Day

     George Rebane   John and Sandra Hensley, longtime residents of Nevada County, threw their 30th annual Labor Day lakeside bash on the grounds of their Scotts Flat Reservoir residence.  This pot luck, music, and boating feed has become an community tradition for the Hensley family and friends.  Usually there are a couple of local bands…

  • National Propaganda Radio

    George Rebane Like all politically correct people in the country, at our house every morning we wake up to NPR news and commentary (locally KXJZ 90.9FM).  We get our snoot full of the day’s leftwing litany right from the gitgo; don’t mess with us, we’re up to date in Kansas City.  Besides, it’s always good…

  • Ruminations – 5sep2009 (updated)

    George Rebane Van Jones is one of the more outspoken and now visible socialist radicals (a self-declared communist) in the Obama administration.  The record of his outrageous remarks and speeches has now come to light and given rise to several members of Congress to call for his resignation, and to bring under congressional review the…

  • Nevada County Does a Town Hall

    George Rebane Tonight Jo Ann and I joined a lot of neighbors from these parts in the Grass Valley Veterans Hall to meet with our Representative Tom McClintock in the town hall format that is now sweeping the country.  On this warm summer evening more than 1,500 people showed up, many with signs of all persuasions, and…

  • Nudging Toward the Public Option

    George Rebane Truthout.org is one of the left-wing sites that I regularly visit to catch the view from the other side.  They’ve been known now and again to heroically attempt a reasonable explanation for the odd socialist policy that may benefit from such treatment.  Their best shot at defending the ‘public option’ component of Obamacare…

  • Ruminations – 2sep2009 (updated)

    George Rebane Some national thought leaders argue that health insurance is a broad social problem since your neighbors’ health ultimately also impacts your own Quality of Life.  Then their logical short step is for government’s entry into the health insurance business.  Thomas Frank (2sep09 WSJ here) sees it as no biggie since “we already pay…
