Month: April 2011

  • George Rebane Yesterday afternoon we, along with the Steeles, went to see the movie ‘Atlas Shrugged – Part 1’ that I described in ‘Shrugging Atlas is Back’.   The movie, based on Ayn Rand’s novel of the same name, lived up to its expectations.  The casting, acting, production values, and fidelity to the original were well…

  • George Rebane [This came in email, and reading it I immediately began looking for some hyperbole.  But given this administration’s stated goals, established direction, and ongoing ‘progress’ thereto, I couldn’t find any.  Perhaps you can dear reader.] "Winston, come into the dining room, it's time to eat," Julia yelled to her husband. "In a minute,…

  •     Happy Easter from our family to you and yours. George and Jo Ann

  • George Rebane In my technology newsletters I recently encountered some buzz about clinical evidence differentiating the brainbones of liberals and conservatives – in short, you may be one or the other because that’s the way you’re wired up.  There has been a flurry of articles posted on the original research done on this thesis at…

  • George Rebane The Chief Organizer claims he doesn’t know what’s made gasoline prices go through the roof, and he suspects that it’s all those “traders and speculators”.  So he has launched another investigation to ferret out these low lifes.  Predictably, it will turn up nothing in that quarter, and only repeat the performance of Clinton and Bush2…

  • George Rebane [This is the transcript of my KVMR-FM bi-weekly commentary recorded on 21 April 2011.  I have added a relevant addendum about information from a subsequent conversation I had with a Nevada County staffer.] Not many people have been paying attention to a complicated lawsuit whose defendants include Nevada County, Mr Greg Diaz, its initially…

  • George Rebane - No Amber Alert on Missing Refugees- Estonia’s credit rating upgraded ‘Climate Refugees, Not Found’  so headlines the 21apr11 WSJ report on millions of people who have gone missing with nary an Amber Alert issued in their behalf.  The egg just continues to accumulate on the faces of the True Believers, those politically bent devotees…

  • George Rebane In this season of Passover and Easter, our administration and its private sector cadres are promoting Islamists with an added twist.  Al Jazeerah, with its anti-Jewish and anti-Christian worldview, is now being recognized by the leftwing as a necessary and legitimate source of world news and considered opinion among the civilized nations.  In…

  • You gotta get it from where it is, cuz you ain’t gonna get it from where it ain’t. George Rebane The President keeps pointing his accusing finger at the “rich” (those earning more than $250K annually) for being under-taxed and thereby keeping the nation from solving its financial problems.  That is a lying ruse to…

  • George Rebane Just for the record, I don’t want any RR reader to be bamboozled by the bilge water that the administration and Dems are trying to float on raising of the debt limit issue.  The word from the progressives, abetted by Bernanke and Geithner, is that if the debt limit is not raised this…
