  • Ruminations – 22mar2011 (updated)

    George Rebane – Add evil to ignorant and stupid– Weathering Anthropogenic Global Warming The silence of the left-loving lamestream media on violence and threats coming from the unionized left is no longer a remarkable aspect of American life.  Deroy Murdock of National Review Online compiles some of these in ‘Death Threats by the Dozen in Wisconsin’.  For…

  • Libya – Driving from the Back Seat (updated 21mar2011)

    George Rebane President Obama has made it clear that he wants the Arabs to view the US as being just one of the boys the UN mustered to take on Moammar Gadhafi.  Not only that, but we’re in the back of the pack somewhere right behind the French, Brits, and Italians.  That is our new…

  • Ruminations – 19mar2011

    George Rebane On this gloomy slushy snowy Saturday, we at the Rebane house take any levity-providing-port in a storm.  Didn’t have to wait too long before two qualifying bonmots arrived – one on Fox News and another fortuitous one by email from a regular reader. Turning on the telly during supper – the slush had…

  • The Liberal Mind – Eat the Rich

    George Rebane Communists and most of today’s union members are persuaded by arguments that the pie is fixed, they are its bakers, and the rich have become so only by taking more than their ‘fair share’. Not only that, but if we can claw back what the rich have unjustly taken, then there will be…

  • Ring of Fire – Are We Next?

    George Rebane It may turn out that the recent Chile, New Zealand, and now Japan earthquakes are related to some greater movement of the whole Pacific system of tectonic plates.  Geologist Jim Berkland has an outstanding record of analysing these patterns and earthquake predictions.  He is talking to Fox's Neil Cavuto about what may be happening…

  • Republicans Continue to Capitulate (update 20mar2011)

    George Rebane [This is a transcript of my regular KVMR 89.5 commentary that aired today 18 March 2011.] Conservative commentators, blogs, and opinion rags are claiming that on spending cuts they have Democrats on the run.  The big news is that during the last five weeks the GOP House has extracted $10B in cuts.  Charles…

  • Reliable as clockwork (updated)

    George Rebane   After a brief snowfall, power went out at 1645.  What else would you expect?  I was the first one to call PG&E, and the lady on the other end with a straight face told me that power would be restored at 1930 “subject to change”.  Right.  Happy weekend. [update]  As I have informed you…

  • After the reactors are shut down

    George Rebane And then where shall we turn for clean reliable energy?  More here from Anthony Watts on the implications of the nuclear shutdowns for the global warming movement.  And in a broader scope see Cato’s False Promise of Green Energy.  H/T to RR reader for photos. Ending on a lighter note, we may try the…

  • Beware the RL Crabb

    George Rebane RL ‘Bob’ Crabb, Nevada County’s master of the incisive view, gores all of our oxen in turn.  This appears in today’s 15mar11 Union.
