  • Ruminations – 13nov12 (updated 17nov12)

    George Rebane Mitt Romney is definitely being disposed of under the traditional bus.  Conservative sage Thomas Sowell joins with his ‘Nice Losers’ that begins – Mitt Romney now joins the long list of the kinds of presidential candidates favored by the Republican establishment— nice, moderate losers, people with no coherently articulated vision, despite how many…

  • The Buffett Rule – Butt stupid is as butt stupid does

    George Rebane                                         ‘Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Progressive.’ One thing we’ll see a lot more of is the practice of static analysis by progressives.  For those recently arrived from Mars, it goes something like this.  Harry the millionaire currently pays an effective tax rate of 25% on his annual income of a million dollars.  That…

  • Does Multikulti require Multiparty?

    George Rebane [This is the submitted form of my November column published in the 10nov12 print and (pay-walled) online editions of The Union.] Last year Germany’s Angela Merkel made an audacious pronouncement – she said that ‘multikulti’ or multi-culturalism was not working to keep her country a cohesive nation-state with shared values that support needed…

  • President Obama defeats Mitt Romney (edited)

    Peter/Paul Principle – Whenever you promise to rob Peter to pay Paul, you can count on the full support of Paul. George Rebane It was a day of foreboding that ended in an evening of doldrums.  I did a little poll watching at the Rood Center while Jo Ann worked at the Republican HQ helping…

  • Cueing the Luddites – The October Jobs Report (updated 5nov12)

    George Rebane Productivity growth is the engine of an economy’s wealth generation, and the bane of the poorly educated/skilled worker. [The following commentary on the October 2012 jobs report is also the latest installment of the RR series on employment and the economy.  These are viewed from an existential perspective that is avoided by our…

  • Voter fraud getting into full swing? (updated 2nov12)

    George Rebane Let me start by inviting our progressive pals to post links to reports of rightwing instigated voter fraud because nationwide the left is off and running.  The latest comes from Las Vegas where the unions are stuffing ballot boxes, voting for the old and infirm, and hauling their own members off their jobs…
