  • And what if we just say NO? (Addended again)

    George Rebane [This the transcript of the 19nov2010 edition of my bi-weekly KVMR-FM 89.5 commentary.  Today’s cartoon in the 20nov2010 Union by my friend RL ‘Bob’ Crabb is on the same topic.  It is here purloined by permission.] This week I attended the November luncheon meeting of the Nevada County Republican Women Federated, of which I…

  • California’s Visible Insanity (updated 15dec2010)

    George Rebane Silicon Valley, once synonymous with productivity-enhancing innovation, is now looking to make money on feel-good government handouts. That’s the tag line to ‘California’s Destructive Green Jobs Lobby’ by technology pundit and futurist George Gilder in today’s (16nov10) WSJ.  Our state’s insanity, capped by the failure of Prop23, is now an international embarrassment.   The…

  • 2010 Bastiat Prizes in Journalism

    “When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion–when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing–when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favours and approvals–when you see that men get richer by…

  • Walking into the Liquidity Trap

    George Rebane QE2 used to be the short moniker of HMS Queen Elizabeth 2, flagship of Cunard’s luxury liners.  You boarded QE2 and forgot your troubles as you were transported across The Pond with more comforts than you could imagine.  Today’s QE2 is the code word most people hear and can’t put together with anything…

  • An Evening with Dan and Karl

    George Rebane Last night we attended a reception for re-elected Assemblyman Dan Logue that was held at the Southridge Event Center in Sutter.  The gathering also honored retiring State Senator Sam Aanestad for his years of service.  Sam was presented with a large commemorative resolution that will now grace the wall of his office.  But…

  • Marriage – A Union of Fungible Units

    George Rebane [This is a transcript of my bi-weekly KVMR-FM commentary broadcast on 5 November 2010.] Two years ago California voters approved Proposition 8 that made marriage, as a union between a man and a woman, a part of the state’s constitution.  According to the people, the debate about ‘marriage’ was over.  But this was…
