  • Global Warming – the latest official update

    George Rebane The Lysenko list of our leftwing is more apparent than ever with the release of the second part of IPCC’s latest report (AR5) on global warming.  It turns out that they’re quietly walking back the hysteria generated over the last years – the warming is 1) not anywhere near as large as previously…

  • A Libertarian Lovefest in Scottsdale (updated 26mar14)

    George Rebane This weekend Jo Ann and I, along with some Nevada County friends, attended the annual retreat in Scottsdale, AZ put on by the Mercatus Center and the Institute for Humane Studies (both at George Mason University).  The conference for liberty prone supporters was a welcome opportunity to hear stimulating speakers, attend breakout sessions…

  • JesseJ to the rescue

    George Rebane AP reports (here) that Jesse Jackson, one of the leading plantation keepers in the nation, has found a new windmill to joust from his public panderer podium.  He has discovered that high tech companies don’t have enough blacks and Hispanics developing all that “inclusive technology” (it’s tough to make this up).  He can’t…

  • A Conservetarian Credo (updated 17dec16)

    George Rebane From time to time readers ask me questions about my ideology concerning this issue or that.  I believe I have answered almost all of those questions either in the 2,000+ posts on RR and/or marbled in the 42K+ comments that this forum has garnered.  However, since this is a place that attempts to…

  • Cracking the Code

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 14 March 13, 2014.] It’s TechTest season again.  On April 5th some of Nevada County’s brightest students heading for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math or STEM careers will be competing in a grueling four-hour merit scholarship exam that has become a springtime…

  • CABPRO Controversy Continued

    [CABPRO is going through some considerable internal dissension between its formerly uncontested Executive Director Mr Chuck Shea and its formerly uncontested Board of Directors.  Today both parties are claiming to be in legitimate control of the organization.  Ms Melinda Monaghan, one of the formerly uncontested directors wrote a letter to the CABPRO membership and asked…

  • The Growing Madness in the Land (updated 12mar14)

    George Rebane By any measure America would be seen as clinically insane by an alien observer arriving on earth.  The insanity is marbled in at all levels of society starting from the highest levels of government to the dishwasher in a small town hotel.  But the real problem is that about a third of our…

  • Go along to get screwed

    George Rebane From recent developments we again see that compromising your principles to play the ‘go along to get along’ (GATGA) game does not work.  It looks like the two Republican strategies I outlined in 'Republican Rumblings' were spot on when we consider what went down at CPAC this week, and what the Repubs are…

  • Robin Milam responds on ‘Rights of Nature’

    [In my 26feb14 post on 'The Rights of Nature' I invited Ms Robin Milam of the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature to respond.  She has kindly submitted the following response to the points I raised, and expanded on a number of other issues that are salient to incorporating the rights of nature into…

  • Ruminations – 5mar14 (updated 7mar14)

    George Rebane The 1-7mar14 Economist features a thoughtful study ‘What’s gone wrong with democracy, and how to revive it’.  A few more pieces like this and I may have to change my attribution of the newspaper as a center-left publication.  The authors do a good job documenting all the pitfalls of democratic governance familiar to…
