Month: August 2013

  • Rise of the New Upper Class

    George Rebane [This is the appended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 30 August 2013.] In these commentaries we have examined major trends like systemic unemployment, income inequality, and the notion of a Great Divide that may rend America across one of its ideological faults.  In this installment I’ll briefly summarize a schism…

  • The Reprobate Republicans

    George Rebane This forum has highlighted Obamacare’s atrocities, visited and pending, since before it became law of the land.  Today there are serious rumblings of attempting to defund/delay Obamacare as part of the next continuing resolution Congress will take up on extending national debt.  The Republicans have been the leading rumblers who have received on…

  • Slap a wrist to extract a foot (updated 9sep13)

    George Rebane As we prepare to launch some sort of punishing strike against the Assad regime in Syria, the question of WMDs comes up again.  We recall that 1) no significant WMDs were found in Iraq after Gulf2, and 2) that our military reported large convoys of trucks headed to Syria in the weeks before…

  • The test after you thought you were done

    George Rebane The higher education bamboozle continues.  “Only one in four employers think that two- and four-year colleges are doing a good job preparing students for the global economy, according to a 2010 survey conducted for the Association of American Colleges and Universities.” So what to do?  A new non-profit is offering a post-graduation test…

  • Ruminations – 20aug13 (updated 21aug13)

    George Rebane The nation’s insanity continues unabated.  According to the Chicago Fox affiliate (you maybe expected a lamestream outlet?) a group of illegal aliens are on a hunger strike protesting that they haven’t been put on the list for government subsidized organ transplants.  Instead of a quick ticket back to Mexico – they are Mexican…

  • Nevada County’s Collaborative Technology Center

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my 16aug13 KVMR radio commentary, plus a couple of snapshots.] Last Tuesday I attended the opening of the Nevada County Library’s Collaborative Technology Center or CTC.  The ribbon to the new 2,000 square foot facility was cut by country librarian Jessica Hudson after a few attending dignitaries had…

  • RR hacked (updated 16aug13)

    George Rebane This afternoon I discovered that somehow a piece of malware called Delta Search took over my computer.  I'm working to get rid of this piece of crap, but it is still doing stuff like inserting extra links (the green ones) into my posts and also some comments.  I will not post again until…

  • Ruminations – 13aug13

    Do not engage with him who has nothing to lose.  It is to fight at a disadvantage, for the other enters without encumbrance, because unaccoutred even of shame; and having auctioned off everything, he has nothing more to lose, and so may allow himself every insolence; …  Gracian #172 George Rebane As we continue our…

  • Oh, those damn Republicans! (updated 15aug13)

    George Rebane My friend RL Bob Crabb, a man with a considerable trumpet hereabouts, put up this cartoon in today’s (10aug13) Union.  As I’ve opined in the past, Bob is a self-declared middle roader who nevertheless has a pronounced list to port, as is evident from his excellent double entendre offering during our county’s elephant…
