Month: June 2014

  • Sandbox – 29jun14

    [Time for some fresh sand.  And I want to open it by stating that Mr Koyote's place on RR as a civil dispenser of viewpoints from the port side – no matter how outrageous 😉 – is both welcomed and assured.  gjr]

  • State of Jefferson: A long shot, but …(Addended)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 27 June 2014.  As promised, here I have addended additional information and thoughts to the aired commentary.] Our Founders were right, unbridled democracy does not work as the basis for a stable government.  James Madison said it best – “Pure democracies have…

  • Sandbox – 26jun14

    [Time for some fresh sand.  Perhaps someone will want to take a cut at Nevada City's new lights issue, or the maintenance of local river hiking trails, or some other more sociable topic.  Then again, maybe not. ;-) ]

  • Economy and Economists still in the tank

    George Rebane Well, the numbers for 14Q1 are in, and again they are neither pretty nor what that dismal cohort representing the 'dismal science’ predicted.  The nation’s economic mavens – those whose opinions are at least counted – said that first quarter GDP would be up 0.1%.  Not even close.  The real news is that the…

  • Sandbox -23jun14

    [The 20jun14 sandbox got a bit overloaded, stale, and then suddenly began to smell.  I guess it comes with the territory.  Here's new clean one.  gjr]

  • ‘The Battle of Bunkerville’

    [Rough and Ready resident Weldon Travis sent me his “observations, conclusions, thoughts” on what some have come to call ‘The Battle of Bunkerville’ where earlier this year rancher Cliven Bundy and supporters faced down a company of federales who had come to confiscate his cattle and end his grazing rights on what we know today…

  • The ‘Recovery’ Rigmarole

    George Rebane We have heard about recovering from the ‘Great Recession’ since the summer of 2009.  Politicians of the Left have been conducting a painful national celebration of how their Keynesian stimulation policies have saved and then recovered our economy.  But what no one tells us is that recoveries come in various flavors, some of…

  • Sandbox – 20jun14

    [Time for some fresh sand, the old sandbox was getting so full that comment threads were getting harder to follow.  Apparently there is some dispute about what liberals are claiming about the Right not supporting college education, and other matters.  gjr]

  • Ruminations – 19jun14 (updated 21jun14)

    George Rebane ‘The Lack of Major Wars May Be Hurting Economic Growth’ is a most interesting thesis put forward by George Mason University economist Tyler Cowen (also see his recent Average is Over).  In the NYT essay he provides a long list of developments that spurred economies, forms of governance, and even the arts arising…

  • ‘The Divided States of America’

    As democracy is perfected, the office of the  President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron. –…
