Month: May 2011

  • On the Road to Denver (updated 8may2011)

    George Rebane We are on our way to visit our month-old great-granddaughter Lucy Pearl in Denver.  On the outward bound we chose ‘The Loneliest Road’, better known as US50, out of Reno.  It is a wonderful way to re/introduce yourself to some of the most picturesque country in this beautiful land.  The route took us…

  • California’s “Dysfunctional Democracy”

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my 6may11 KVMR radio commentary broadcast earlier tonight.] The spate of serious articles, reports, analyses, and commentaries on California’s disaster-in-progress reached a new plateau this last week with the prestigious (23apr11) Economist featuring a major survey of the state.  The world’s oldest international ‘newspaper’ traces California’s problems back…

  • RR Administrivia

    George Rebane I have removed the indented reply feature from the comment threads.  A reader suggested its implementation, and it seemed like a good idea.  But then it soon became apparent that new comments were suddenly buried 'in the past', attached to some previous comment thread which was invisible to an arriving commenter.  This obfuscation…

  • ‘… war for national survival …’ (updated 12may2011)

    George Rebane Thank goodness, at last I’m not alone 😉  In these pages my commentaries on the resumed war between (radical) Islam and the West have met with some pretty hard criticism from our progressive brethren.  My assessments have been described as everything from lunacy to racism.  While I have never claimed a sole perch…

  • The Birth Certificate from Hell (updated 16may2011)

    George Rebane President Obama posted what he vouched as his genuine Hawaii birth certificate the other day (here).  The intent was to finally put to rest the innuendos, claims, and downright charges that he is not a ‘natural born American’.   But given the image analysis tools broadly available today, along with a remarkable amount of…

  • Fox News Adds to the Confusion on Debt Limits

    George Rebane Fox News does a fairly reasonable job on news and commentary, way beyond what the lamestream produces, but Fox also has its weak moments.  Yesterday, on their major Sunday talk show with Chris Wallace, the anchor replayed the Democrats’ shibboleth that the choice Congress faces is to either raise the debt limit, or…

  • Nailed the Sumbich

    George Rebane Number One Raghead Osama bin Laden is dead – RIH.  On to the next ones.

  • You would? Really?

    George Rebane Would you lend money to someone who already owes you more than he can repay, wants you to loan him more so he can use some of it to pay you the interest on what he currently owes (a la Madoff), and owns a printing press that is already printing his debt to…

  • ‘Sunk Costs Don’t Count’

    George Rebane This is a truism in the world of financial decision making, why?  Because sunk costs are just that, irretrievable.  So any decisions about what to do in the future should only consider costs that you have yet to incur; in short, things you can still influence. How many times in political debates have…
