Month: August 2014

  • Silence of the Lambs (updated 14sep14)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 30 August 2014.] It is now twelve years since WSJ Asia bureau chief Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by Muslim terrorists.  Since then countless thousands of Muslims and non-Muslims have been murdered by Muslims in the name of their ‘religion…

  • Sandbox – 29aug14

    [Apologies for delaying the trip to get fresh sand 😉 ]

  • Water, water everywhere, … (updated)

    George Rebane Water, water everywhere, but not a drop is yours. California’s drought induced by nature and amplified by government has migrated from reasonable discussion to political expedience.  This ongoing problem in our state has drawn much interest from RR readers, especially those living in the Sierra foothills where water is still abundant. Sacramento and…

  • Ah yes, the “proudly progressive” among us

    George Rebane Today’s (27aug14) Union published the bios of its new fifteen-member editorial board that has been penetrated by three, count them, three conservatives – Rachel Helm, Norm Sauer, and Stan Meckler.  From what I have seen, the remaining members steer a decidedly leftward course ranging from a few unmistakable degrees to ‘hard a’port!’ Ms…

  • ABCs of California Business (updated 27aug14)

    George Rebane With the new gas taxes staring us in the face after the new year, you just can’t say enough about the socialist mindset that is driving out California businesses, causing them to expand elsewhere, and convincing outsiders to not to start new enterprises here.  The only exceptions that the socialists can point to…

  • Sandbox – 24aug14

  • Scattershots – 21aug14 (updated 22aug14)

    George Rebane Here is something for the data archeologists and anthropologists of the distant future – three disparate areas that share in the wholesale insanity that is ending America as we have known it.  But more important to note is that not many care about these issues. Gilead Sciences’ Sovaldi is a stupendously successful drug to…

  • Sandbox – 19aug14

    [Apologies for the delay in getting a fresh one going.  RR readers are demonstrating a certain esthetic in their tastes – no one wants to rummage around in or contribute to an overflowing sandbox.]

  • The Externality of Externalities

    George Rebane OK boys and girls, time for a little review of an arcane notion of economics that is the darling of socialists cooking up ever more ways to make our lives miserable.  An externality of some good or service traded at market price is the attributed added cost to society that the consumption of…

  • NGOs, come one, come all!

    George Rebane Nevada County is the home of record to one of the largest covens of non-governmental organizations and 501c3 foundations.  Most of these organizations are devoutly leftwing and doing their best to bring forward and implement the objectives of UN’s Agenda 21 (while loudly decrying anything of the sort).  Their work product has contributed…
