  • A functional idiot at work

    George Rebane “We have to pass this (healthcare) bill so that you can find out what is in it.”  said a sober looking Nancy Pelosi (here), Speaker of the House of Representatives, United States Congress in session on 9 March 2010 in Washington, District of Columbia, US of A speaking to the American electorate.  At this…

  • Sustaining Sustainability

    George Rebane Sustainability season is upon us, and it will probably beat spring this year in all the blooming proposals that will be written to attract other people’s money to Nevada County.  Nevada City is leading the way with consultant facilitated public workshops that will identify the sustainable projects which the city will undertake once…

  • The Sad Tale of Patricia Black

    George Rebane Ms Patricia Black is one of probably millions across the country who has been taken in by the progressive media and pundits debunking America’s Social Security crisis.  In a letter to the newspaper, she lambasts my 13feb10 Union column for “perpetuating the mistaken idea that Social Security is broke.”  She firmly believes that…
