  • Ruminations – 11nov2009 (updated 12nov09)

    George Rebane Veterans/Armistice Day.  This morning I rushed down to the Grass Valley Veterans Building to partake of the scheduled ceremonies that annually observe our debt to the armed forces of America.  Given the involvement of our armed forces and current events, the observance was not well attended – many seats on the floor were…

  • Ft Hood and Counting

    George Rebane Senator Lieberman will now start holding hearings on whether Major ‘Allahu Akbar!’ Hasan is a terrorist.  It is for me a great sadness, perhaps above all others, to watch western culture, my culture in its writhing death throes.  In our jaundiced teaching that all the world’s cultures are of equal worth, we daily…

  • HR 3962 from two universes

    George Rebane There is no middle ground anymore.  The House version of Obamacare passed last night on a party line vote while we were at a local charity event.  My faithful iPhone, with a realtime AP feed application, gave its familiar ‘hot off the press’ audio signal as we were preparing to eat, and I…

  • Obamacare – The Other Side

    George Rebane The White House, Congress, MSM, and the foreign press are touting the long awaited arrival of socialized healthcare in the United States.  The Pelosi bill is now on the floor of the House ready for a vote.  Pelosi Health Care Bill Summary is another view of this legislation by the House Republican Conference that summarizes…

  • Got Vaccine (Yet)?

    George Rebane ‘Don’t get sick’, that is how the liberals in Congress dismiss the conservative proposed alternatives to Obamacare.  But that same advice should be given to all of us trying to avoid the ongoing swine flu epidemic.  Getting vaccinated is a problem, because our country doesn’t have a timely supply of enough vaccine.  I…

  • Placing My Lance

    George Rebane A post-American president sees the job of President of the United States as a stepping stone to higher office. “And you would place your lance where?”  my friend and blogging partner Russ Steele (NC MediaWatch) asked me in a recent email exchange.  I had taken to task his reporting of the latest piece…
