  • Ruminations – 31jul14 (updated 3aug14)

      George Rebane Moonbeam’s bankrupt California continues to buy Latino votes with money we don't have. Our “balanced budgets” are achieved by not paying the state’s pension obligations.  And today facing over a half trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities, the governor announces that the state will “shelter immigrants”, those munchkins dumped by the hordes across our…

  • State of Jefferson Townhall in Penn Valley (updated 4aug14)

    George Rebane RR has posted on the national movements to break bigger states into smaller ones as part of the impetus to achieve some form of America’s Great Divide (here).  These movements are birthed by the realization by large cohorts of conservatives in the several states that they are no longer represented in their states’ legislatures,…

  • ‘Why Do Americans Stink at Math?’

    George Rebane That is the title of a major piece in the 23jul14 NYT by “education journalist” Elizabeth Green of chalkbeat.org that one of my east coast correspondents pointed out.  In it she highlights the record of American students and adults on international placement tests and our own regular surveys of adult literacy and numeracy.  Longtime…

  • More Central Planners’ Outrage (updated 26jul14)

    George Rebane Google has announced the launch of its Baseline Study – a “moonshot” research effort to obtain the quantitative description of a healthy human body along with early precursors to the likelihood of eventual dreaded diseases.  They’ll do this by assembling initially hundreds then thousands of volunteers who will donate their bodily data placed…

  • Sandbox – 24jul14

    [Apologies for my recent silence.  We were doing a little trailering with friends in the future State of Jefferson during the past week ;-)  When SoJ comes to pass, one of the first orders of business is to spread broadband far and wide.  And we can, of course, start that right here in Nevada County.  Did everyone…

  • Liberal Logic – always remarkable and harmful

    George Rebane In genereal liberals are not stupid; many of them just have bad luck when they think.  (However, this cannot be said of California liberals). As we await details of the House suit against this Executive, it might be good to remind ourselves what kind of thinking has put the country into a tailspin.…

  • Sgt Bergdahl’s Buddy Rating

    George Rebane We’re told that the Army has put Sgt Bowe Bergdahl back on normal duty.  He is done decompressing from his five years with the Taliban, and there are no extraordinary restrictions on his movements or activities while the Army continues to investigate the conditions of his departure and stay with the Afghan ragheads. As…

  • Sandbox – 14jul14

    [Hopefully fresh sand will motivate fresh ideas.  gjr]

  • Sandbox – 12jul14

    [No doubt some comment threads will continue from Sandbox – 7jul14.  Onward!]

  • Ruminations – 12jul14

    George Rebane RL ‘Bob’ Crabb is having a big bash at McGee’s on 27 July to celebrate the ‘release’ of his new book (graphic autobiography?).  Would love to be there, but travel plans will cause us to miss this significant event.  All the rest of you should go and buy a couple of books –…
