  • Debate2 ruminations (updated 18oct12)

    George Rebane Woke up this morning to a blatant Obama-centric report of last night’s debate on National Propaganda Radio’s Morning Edition.  Talk about being in the tank for everything progressive.  Of course, Mitt’s promise to pull their federal funding doesn’t help that already biased outfit to cut him any even-handed slack.  In any case, it…

  • Administrivia – Typepad problem (updated 17oct12, again)

    George Rebane Typepad has been having problems this morning.  Many readers have had trouble logging in to the comments – no comment window appears.  Had the same problem myself this morning, yet others seem to have no problem.  Have reported problem to Typepad.  Keep trying and report your success under this post.  Thanks. [17oct12 update] …

  • Slapdown from ‘The Middle’

    George Rebane Saw Bob Crabb’s latest contribution in this morning’s Union – therefrom it is filched and displayed below for all to see. Oh, the slings and arrows that penetrate most deeply come not from the enemy, but alas, the friend.  This piece of contemporary art recalls an ancient ode from another Bob who lived…

  • Hillary blows 3AM call, plays Harry

    George Rebane What a preamble to Debate2!  Hillary, again out of the country for the debate, is told to play Harry’s “The Buck Stops Here” line from Lima, Peru.  And appearing the loyal trooper, she does it. That sacrosanct line has been associated only with America’s President and Commander-in-Chief ever since Truman put the sign…

  • DebateVP – a heartbeat away

    George Rebane Not for the lack of trying, but I am still unable to say anything cogent or relevant on the matter of the 11oct12 Vice Presidential debate, other than the recurring thought that this piece of political theater – man and event – has been taken seriously by people whose vote counts as much…

  • Abortion and the Two Bodies Problem

    George Rebane The nonsense claims that Republicans want to ‘deny women the right to their bodies’, or even more egregiously to ‘deny women healthcare’ completely swamps any reasonable discussion of the abortion issue – its legalization and its funding by government or private means.  The issue seems to always come back to what a woman…

  • Agenda21 is NOT a conspiracy (updated 17oct12)

    There is no limit to what you can accomplish if you don’t care who gets the credit. ― Ronald Reagan George Rebane Last Tuesday’s Nevada County Board of Supervisors meeting achieved its larger purpose that was promoted by a lot of mostly conservative attendees belonging to organizations like CABPRO and the local Tea Party.  A…

  • Keeping out the smart ones

    George Rebane [This is the submitted form of my regular column that appeared in print and online in the 13oct12 edition of the The Union.  This column continues the RR series on America’s unaddressed systemic jobs crisis.] Recently we again learned that there are millions of jobs in America that are going unfilled – three…

  • Awaiting the Luddites’ Return (updated 13oct12)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 12 October 2012.] If we don’t acknowledge its existence, then clearly it doesn’t exist.  That behavior is going on so much today that it requires its own word in the language, and we have one, it’s called hoovering.  The growing systemic unemployment…

  • Jim Lehrer, Moderator – RIP

    George Rebane For several decades I have been a fan of PBS liberal journalist Jim Lehrer.  He is one of the few remaining professionals in that industry.  Last Wednesday he committed an unforgivable error. Mr Lehrer has long been a national icon of the broadcast industry, the former Marine having made his bones on the…
