Month: October 2012

  • Autocracy in our future (updated 1nov12)

    The lesson for Americans is clear enough.  Our growing size and diversity make republican government, whether democratic or oligarchic, impossible.  Thomas Fleming George Rebane Wholesale democracy across a diverse nation is an enduring goal for collectivists, and the bane of those conservatives and libertarians who understand the functions of a republic.  Long have I lamented…

  • Sandy votes for Obama (updated 2nov12)

    George Rebane What a blessing that hurricane has become for our President.  The confluence of two storms on the east coast will not be a wasted crisis for this man whose desperate campaign has shrunk to personal slings and arrows against Romney.  Obama can’t talk about the disaster of the last four years, and he…

  • Past the Tipping Point – 27oct12 (edited)

    George Rebane Readers know that I believe our country is already past the tipping point and headed for a bad transition.  For me the tipping point represents that unfortunate state of affairs in our nation from which recovery by ‘normal’ or historically successful corrective measures will not be enough to save us from a disastrous…

  • California Dumbing Down – SB1200, the latest chapter

    George Rebane If you 'don't do numbers', you don't do critical thinking. [This is the linked edition of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 26 October 2012.] Regular listeners to my little harangues are aware of the very large iceberg with which our ship of state is about to collide.  It will not be a…

  • Eric Cantor at Doug LaMalfa fundraiser

    George Rebane Yesterday the Steeles and Rebanes joined many other Nevada County conservatives in Auburn for a delicious and informative fundraiser for state Senator Doug LaMalfa running for Congress this November.  There to help him in the effort was House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Cantor gave a good, concise, and fairly comprehensive stump talk about…

  • Debate3

    George Rebane Well, it’s over.  Romney and Obama will have to talk to one another only once again if/when Romney gets elected, and then on the ride from the White House to the Capitol when they can both grab window seats in the limo and stare outward.  Last night’s hugging and kissing of the candidates’…

  • Ruminations – 22oct12

    George Rebane President Obama has been a one person foreign policy and domestic economy disaster area.  His acumen there recognized, he has been visibly and volubly welcomed as America’s preeminent socialist president by some of the most shady heads of state on the planet, along with the Marxist mannequins who are still trying to figure…

  • edX meets the workforce (updated 21oct12)

    George Rebane [This continues the RR series on jobs and the economy, and illustrates the relationship between workforce skill levels and available jobs across a spectrum of productivity levels.  The objective is to give the reader a firm understanding of why and how America’s systemic unemployment has come into place, and its future in terms…

  • Today’s AI in tomorrow’s medicine

    George Rebane Wired magazine has a very lame article on what should be an exciting report – the advent and functionality of clinical AI systems that are entering the healthcare service.  ‘Paging Dr. Watson: Artificial Intelligence As a Prescription for Health Care’ authored by Brandon Keim paints an inconclusive ‘on the one hand, … but…
