Month: November 2013

  • Supervisor Weston to Manage County’s Unfunded Liabilities (updated 16nov13)

    George Rebane The 14nov13 Union announced that Supervisor Hank Weston will seek a 3rd term for the county’s fourth district.  Among the reasons for his re-election Mr Weston cited his “budgetary experience” that will now be necessary to manage the county’s response to its unfunded liabilities that are coming home to roost.  In particular CalPERS…

  • Another Conservative Alternative to Obamacare (updated 15nov13)

    George Rebane As Obamacare is disintegrating on its launch pad (here, here, and here), Republicans should do more than just stand by roasting marshmallows in the flames – so argue Ramesh Ponnuru and Yuval Levin in ‘A Conservative Alternative to Obamacare’.  While several alternative and mandate-free approaches have been proposed by Republicans to overhaul America’s…

  • Ruminations – 12nov13

    George Rebane Now the world, including the dyed-in-the-wool econut chorus, should know about the ‘greening of ethanol’, things that the rest of us (those who paid attention and knew arithmetic) have known for years.  The left leaning Associated Press no less has released a long expose – ‘The Secret Dirty Cost of Obama’s Green Power…

  • Those who have borne the battle

    George Rebane On this Veterans Day 2013 my thoughts again turn to our wounded warriors, and how we care for those who have borne the battle at the behest of our government.  How we neglect these battered heroes and their families after they are returned from the front has now become a common refrain on…

  • Pay attention to the politics, it’s only your job

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 8 November 2013.] All of us swim in social circles where we meet people who look down at anything that has an obvious political tinge to it.  They consider being informed about or getting involved in politics as somehow sullying their higher…

  • Obamacare – all is well (updated 8nov13)

    George Rebane For some years now RR has been critical, well more than critical, of Obamacare.  All for good reason since everything promised by Team Obama has turned out to be a blatant lie about the law and its impact on America.  Moreover, as again recently pointed out in ‘Obamacare – legis horriblis’, the Pelosi…

  • Ruminations – 5nov13 (updated 6nov13)

    George Rebane ‘Does Environmentalism Cause Amnesia?’ asks WSJ's Bret Stephens in a short piece reprising climate change worries that go back over two centuries.  The latest effluent scheduled to be pumped out by the IPCC is that the world will again face falling crop yields and hunger.  What has been happening is exactly the opposite. …

  • Great Divide – ‘America 3.0’

    My contention is that good men (not bad men) consistently acting upon that position would act as cruelly and unjustly as the greatest tyrants. They might in some respects act even worse. Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to…
