  • Gun Control 2013 (updated 13jan13)

    George Rebane The 14dec12 Newtown massacre has been blown into a celebrated “crisis” for the nation’s gun ban contingent.  And President Obama has made certain that this crisis will also not go to waste in his overarching program that is fundamentally transforming America.  He gave VP Joe Biden the job of fashioning the next set…

  • CES2013

    George Rebane The long running Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is again in full swing showing off all kinds of new technical innovations, gizmos, and ongoing projects.  Absent again are the big guys like Microsoft, Apple, etc, but you can be sure that they have sent teams of attendees to see what's worth copying…

  • Takers vs Makers

    George Rebane Debt is an injustice imposed on borrowers by greedy lenders who do not deserve to be repaid – from the liberal mind. Forbes has identified eleven states that are in an economic “death spiral”.  These are the pictured states whose taker/maker ratios equal or exceed 1.00, states where takers are the government employees…

  • The Great Divide – ‘We don’t need no stinking Constitution’

    George Rebane Bit by piece America’s Left is unraveling the role of our Constitution as the foundation of our country’s governance.  Undoing the legacy of our Founders has now progressed from dancing the progressives’ constitutional sidestep to a growing chorus of calls to do away with the Constitution altogether – a document they see filled…

  • Ruminations – 6jan13 (updated 7jan13)

    George Rebane The banner of socialism still can’t be unfurled over the world’s newest socialist country, but I don’t think it will take much more time before the new generation will accept the label.  The national Left is bursting with pride with its victories in the bag and more on the way.  Everything is falling…

  • MOOCs and the education revolution (addended 9jan13)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my 4jan13 KVMR commentary.  I last covered MOOCs in my 21aug12 post.  This post has an addendum that explains in more detailed how intelligent MOOCs can be designed to deliver complex instructional sequences that are not available in traditional learning environments. ] Let’s consider higher education for bit…

  • Cirino’s Nevada City, RIP

    George Rebane The Progressive Plague that has ravaged California for some years, and with every passing day is becoming even more virulent, struck down a local landmark establishment.  In Nevada City Cirino’s Bar & Grill is shutting its doors according to owner Jerry Cirino because “The state and federal government has taken the most valuable…

  • ‘They Can’t Take That Away from Me’ – 2013 style

    George Rebane [I’m not sure that much of this is comprehensible to younger generations, but many of us older people do hearken back to some grand years in the good old US of A.  Granted, time has worn off some of the rough edges.  Nevertheless, here’re some ramblings to mark another milestone that we pass…

  • Vandalism at the Pump

    George Rebane Happy 2013!  Hope that everyone has recovered from New Year’s eve and the bowl games.  I thought it would be proper to waste no time in launching the new year with the latest from from the EPA scumbags who are introducing E15 gasoline to the nation’s pumps (that’s gasoline made from 15% corn…
