  • Ruminations – 31may12

    George Rebane As a continuous lament on these pages, the country’s lack of technical talent is now reaching new lows.  We hear that “On college campuses these days, the top nerds are getting a taste of what it's like to be star jocks.  Companies big and small are going on school campuses to hire undergraduate…

  • Voting for Sue McGuire and Doug LaMalfa

    George Rebane In next Tuesday’s primary I am voting for Sue McGuire for Nevada County’s District #1 supervisor, and State Senator Doug LaMalfa to become our new representative in Congress. Sue McGuire has all of the qualifications to become our new supervisor.  I won’t belabor them; you can see them on her website.  She has…

  • A Look at GDP

    George Rebane Gross Domestic Product is constantly in the news.  It is the definitive measure of a country’s annual production of goods and services.  GDP is calculated in several different ways, all are supposed to be compatible.  The most often used and useful way is called the Expenditure Method that relates to the different kinds…

  • We Remember – 28 May 2012

    George Rebane Today we remember and honor the military service men and women who died for us, and those who have yet to come home.  We sent them into harm’s way to keep harm away from us and our loved ones.  They went willingly again and again to do the work of war with the…

  • TechTest2012 Survivors Breakfast

    George Rebane Last Friday (25may12) the annual ‘Survivors Breakfast’ was again held at Tofanelli’s.  The event has become a tradition to celebrate the young people who took the year’s test and those who received the top scores on the SESF sponsored merit scholarship exam.  TT2012 top three scorers (in no particular order) were Ben Martin,…

  • The Rotten Roots of Socialism

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary aired on 25 May 2012.] The world is in a turmoil that most people equate to something that has to do with finances.  In addition to the reports from Europe about Greece, and Spain, and Italy, and on-and-off austerity programs, we are already numb…

  • The Liberal Mind – Profits vs Jobs

            ‘Tax rates have no effect on the behavior of the taxed.’ – deeply held liberal tenet George Rebane This week President Obama made another extremely important statement that reveals his understanding of how the world works.  At a campaign stop he took Romney’s credentials to task, doubting that anyone who has focused on business…

  • The Liberal Mind – Asymmetric ‘Cacooning’ (updated 25may12)

    George Rebane For some years in these pages I have written about the apparent ignorance of the liberal voices about what’s going on and how things work.  Quite often I, and other conservative bloggers, have been taken to task by our left-leaning readers accusing us of ‘introducing’ some outlandish new notion.  But more often than…

  • Agenda21 on cat’s feet (updated 24may12)

    George Rebane I just returned from the Nevada County Board of Supervisors meeting at the Rood Center.  I went there to hear the report on establishing a 2005 county baseline for CO2 emissions presented by the Sierra Business Council with some mysterious connection to ICLEI.  (You can check the details on the county’s website.)  The…

  • Ruminations – 21may12 (updated)

    George Rebane President Obama’s background and biography is throwing people for another loop – at least those with their heads still exposed to the sun.  Who knows where the man was actually born?  Who knows what actually happened in South Chicago?  All we know is that the Washington establishment (both parties) and the lamestream don’t…
