  • Belated but Important (updated)

    George Rebane Paul Emery of KVMR sent me an email during a time that I have a hiatus in checking emails.  He asked me to post an announcement of an interview that he would have with Dave Wells, Executive Director of the Building Standards Commission about the new sprinkler ordinance.  It aired tonight at 6:07pm. …

  • Will someone call the question? Please!

    George Rebane David Skeel of the Weekly Standard picks up a notion frequently discussed in these pages – the federalization of California and the attendant national Great Divide (more here).  In his article ‘Give States a Way to Go Bankrupt’ he argues that "the states are the next frontier in “too big to fail.” In the…

  • Scattershots – 27nov2010

    George Rebane – Forest for the Trees – Al Gore’s Epiphany– Another Chapter from the Religion of Peace These entries struck me as having religion for their common denominator. After years of ignoring ample financial, environmental, and engineering data about the inadvisability of turning corn into ethanol, Al Gore has admitted to seeing the light.  In his…

  • The Latest Volley from the Local Left

    George Rebane Yesterday morning, while waiting on PG&E’s ‘extended outage’ line listening to elevator music, I received an email from Russ Steele that contained a copy of the latest effluent directed at me personally by Jeff Pelline and his friend Steven Frisch.  For your edification you can read the original and its comment stream on…

  • The politically incorrect Thanksgiving Story

    George Rebane The nationally syndicated conservative commentator John Stossel reminds us of the deeper history behind America’s first Thanksgiving celebrated by the Pilgrims and their Indian neighbors.   This piece was published yesterday and it is presented here in its entirety.  Stossel’s reminder adds a needed dimension to all the things with which we Americans have…

  • California – the Next Carbon Marketplace

    George Rebane Now that Prop23 has crashed and burned, AB32 will ravage the countryside and trading carbon credits will join tulip bulbs, Florida swamp land, and south sea islands in their historical niche of foolish markets.  In the last years people have lost their shirts trying to get a market going trading this ersatz commodity. …

  • What if it’s all a show, or not? (updated 24nov2010)

    George Rebane The yuan is too expensive, the dollar is tanking, the US has not a clue about how to pay its debts and revive the economy, China and a bunch of other countries are holding trillions of dollars in their reserves, trade is lopsided, the mid-east is an endless mess, the EU is entering…

  • The Liberal Mind – Censorship

    Accepting a little bit of socialism is the same as taking comfort in that you are a little bit pregnant. George Rebane The 21st century liberal cum progressive retains the same views and definitions of censorship that did their Bolshevik progenitors in the early 20th century.  Specifically, if the dissemination of their ideas are not…

  • Ruminations – 22nov2010

    George Rebane - No scanners, no pat downs??!!- QE2 driving interest rates in the wrong direction- Hillary on ice, until 2012?- Palin not ready to run in 2012 Scanners at airports are the latest to get people’s undies in a bundle.  Since last Christmas when the latest Muslim terrorist unsuccessfully tried to touch off the bundle in his undies,…

  • Winter Wonder Land

    George Rebane Like many folks in Nevada County last night, Jo Ann and I were listening to the limbs crashing down around our house wondering if the next one would come through the roof.  The wet snowfall – ‘Sierra cement’ – wreaked havoc across the foothills and turned out the lights for most of us…
