Month: July 2014

  • Systemic unemployment – what the future holds (addended)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast today 9jul14, two days early because this weekend the station is covering the World Music Festival from the county fairground.] The Wall Street Journal is one of the remaining success stories in print publishing, this week celebrating its 125th anniversary since it…

  • Scattershots – 9jul14 (updated)

    George Rebane A couple of sad additions to the Liberal Mind department.  People who follow news and public affairs hear at least ten times a day another liberal or lamestream statement declaring with complete assurance that anyone who, at their cost, is unwilling to deliver abortion inducing prophylactics to a woman is in fact 1)…

  • Sandbox – 7jul14

    [Among other topics, anybody want to talk about how Hillary is positioning herself for 2016 (here) by starting to cast off from the SS Team Obama?  Who will be the next to start hitting the silk? gjr]

  • Immigration Reform and National Interest

    George Rebane Immigration has again become a national wedge issue in this midterm election year.  It doesn’t look like any new immigration laws will come out of Congress before this November, but that doesn’t mean that bamboozling voters over alternative immigration policies is not effective for garnering their votes.  Recent posts (here) and related comment streams…

  • SBC, in their own words

    [For some years now the Sierra Business Council (SBC) has been a center of interest and amusement in regional conservative circles.  The non-profit NGO has drawn this attention primarily through its somewhat untoward selection of its name, and the longstanding and determined defense of that moniker by its CEO Steven Frisch.  Mr Frisch has maintained…

  • ‘The Giver’ – A progressive nirvana

    George Rebane I just finished reading The Giver (1993) by Lois Lowry, and then sat there staring into space, letting the ending wash over me again, reviewing how the author brought me there, and of the many ways one could interpret the book’s conclusion.  This is a story written primarily for teen-agers, and I would…

  • Sandbox – 1jul14

    [Go for it.  Our DSL, through the marvel of ATT's oversold Uverse, is back up.  gjr]

  • Ruminations – 1jul14

    George Rebane [Our regular DSL is still out.  This is posted using my iPhone hot spot feature.  Hopefully, ATT will install Uverse this afternoon.] ‘The Worldview that Makes the Underclass’ by Dr Anthony Daniels, a British physician widely published and much experienced in the trenches of society’s detritus, is an excellent summary of the message…
