  • Independents – careful how you register

    George Rebane I just got this in an email from our local Tea Party Patriots.  In it was a notice submitted by a TPP member to alert people who may do an unintended thing when they register to vote and/or change their party affiliation. "I just started to work for the elections division at the county.…

  • The Efficiencies of Socialism

    George Rebane   Socialism is not an all or nothing form of governance, the disease is usually progressive.  Comfortable at first and then quietly segueing into deadly.  One of its symptoms is its inability to distribute resources in a correct, efficient, and timely manner.  Management of ARRA funding is just one current piece of evidence of this truth. …

  • More bids, more approvals, same stimulus

    George Rebane Good news, the county got approved for more ARRA funding, but getting it is another matter.  In the meantime this week’s memo to the Supes from county CEO Rick Haffey has a lot of good stuff that we all should be aware of, so I’m making the whole 3+MB pdf available here.  The topics covered…

  • Arrivederci Roma

    George Rebane   We have visited three continents on this trip and have learned a lot.   One of our stops was Athens which we were able to just barely get in and out of between riots.  As I write, the Dow has taken a 900 point dip and bounced on worries that the Greek disease…
