Month: September 2012

  • Ah yes, the religion of tolerance and peace …

    George Rebane One wonders if western progressives will ever come to understand Islam and its impact on people who hold it dearest in their hearts.  I don’t think so, since they have invested too much of their intellectual capital in their home countries as apologists for that religion.  After all, Islam is the most available…

  • Prognosticators – An invitation to the dance (updated 8oct12)

    George Rebane Over the year’s RR has attracted a bevy of readers with keen minds and extraordinary abilities to peer into our collective futures.  The certitude of some of these Que Sera predictions have most certainly been breathtaking to behold.  In this election season these prognositcators make their considerable talents known to one and all…

  • Headwinds for the American worker

    George Reban e [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary that was broadcast on 28 September 2012.   To this transcript I have added some obvious links not included in the broadcast commentary.] Jobs and the economy are on everyone’s mind as we hear that our GDP growth was again downgraded – second quarter…

  • Ruminations – 25sep12

    Gain the name of being a gentleman, for it is enough to make you loved.  Courtesy is the stem of culture, a species of sorcery, and so gains the affections of everybody, just as discourtesy wins scorn, and universal hatred.  Baltasar Gracian #118 George Rebane China commissioned its first carrier to begin projecting power far…

  • On the economy, both sides are spot on

    George Rebane WSJ’s Neil King Jr in his ‘Political Perceptions: The Red-Blue Economic Views’ is a bit confused when he structures his argument that only one side can be right in their opposing partisan views on the economy.  He says, “Digging deeper into the data, one finds the same phenomenon noted by Purple Strategies: that…

  • What makes a good community? (addended 25sep12)

    George Rebane It all depends on your definition of how is it ‘good’ for whom.  The notion (meme?) of assessing and/or building a good community started as a thread in my ‘… = Sleazebag’ post.  But it deserves its own venue, because the arguments from the Left and Right will reveal much of what is…

  • The real jobs problem – shhh! (edited)

      George Rebane The importance and magnitude of EVERY social problem lies in its numbers.  If you don’t understand the numbers and how they relate, all you can do is emote about the problem. In these pages I have written an uncounted number of laments regarding the country’s dismal and deteriorating job situation.  Various organizations…

  • Blazing Skirt continued (updated 29sep12)

    George Rebane I wonder if our UN ambassador Susan Rice will now resign after being told to go on five talk shows last Sunday and make a fool of herself.  Team Obama sure hung her out to dry.  The cause of last week’s murderous Benghazi consulate attack has again revealed how ineffective and feckless this…

  • Journalist ≠ FUE = Sleazebag

    George Rebane These pages rarely mention Jeff Pelline or comment on his work.  The exception here is pursuant to an email I received this morning that contained the most recent egregious posting on Pelline’s blog that again misrepresented and attacked me. For newer readers not familiar with the gentleman pictured nearby, Pelline was at one…

  • The Employment Picture – Who’s on first?

    George Rebane A correspondent from up north sent me this thoughtful dialogue that puts currency on a comedy routine some of us remember from the golden age of TV. COSTELLO:  I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America .ABBOTT:  Good Subject. Terrible Times. It’s 9%.COSTELLO:  That many people are out of work?ABBOTT:  No,…
