  • Sandbox – 31jan15

    [OK people, I'm disappointed in you.  Here I posted a piece on what's happening in Greece that will have significant fallout on all of us in America, and no one gave a big rat's ass.  Are you guys pulling in your horns and want RR to revert to a local issues mudball fight?  Ain't gonna…

  • Unclear on the Concepts

    George Rebane Politics – Purposed pandering intended to sway a wider audience under the guise of communicating with another party. The local Wrong-way Corrigan collectivists seem to have trouble untying their bundled undies.  With one side of their mouth they are continually describing our community as being “purple”, and with the other side complaining that…

  • ERC’s 2015 Economic Development Conference

    George Rebane Yesterday afternoon and evening I, along with various board members of the Sierra Economics and Science Foundation, joined with several hundred other Nevada County residents at the Grass Valley Veterans Center to hear nationally known economics commentator and urban studies pundit Joel Kotkin, along with an invited panel of economic development professionals, to…

  • County Library Needs Your Support

    [Nevada County Librarian Ms Laura Pappani sent me the following byline to inform RR readers of the current goings on with the library regarding its funding and renewal of Measure C.  Our library is transforming itself to serve the community in the age of internet connectivity, providing citizens expanded opportunities to study, communicate, retrieve information, learn, … .  It…

  • Heidi Hall can do better

    George Rebane Ms Heidi Hall is our community’s new progressive political wannabe.  She is also a newly assigned columnist for The Union and a KVMR commentator.   She is a well-spoken, handsome looking woman with plenty of education in fields that have ‘government job’ written all over them, and true to form that is her employment…

  • Syriza’s lesson for an America in retreat (updated 31jan15)

    George Rebane Over the weekend Greece elected a communist party – working name Syriza – to head its next government.  Syriza promised a bald-faced lie as a solution to the country’s longstanding and deepening economic crisis.  The country is flat broke, produces little that the world wants or can easily get from others, is totally…

  • Sandbox – 26jan15

    [Economic development season is rolling around again in Nevada County.  What directions should it take and how do we do it in this small mountain county off the beaten path?  Our ERC will kick things off this year with a confab on the topic this Thursday in the GV vets hall.  They do welcome ideas,…

  • Scattershots – 25jan14

    George Rebane Our universe is a very uneven and bumpy place.  In our corner when we seek to impose ‘equality’, ‘balance’, and avoid ‘discrimination’, we have to take care how we go about smoothing things out, lest we also smooth out what is left of our humanity. Private sector union membership continues its decline.  When…

  • NC Tea Party Event – Debbie Bacigalupi

    George Rebane Judi Caler of the NCTP asked me to let RR readers know about this 28jan15 event at the NC fairgrounds.  Come and meet the local crowd of the kind of Americans that scares the crap out of the Dept of Homeland Security.  According to Team Obama, these are the real terrorists about whom the country…

  • RR – no longer such an outlier

    To jog the understanding is a greater feat, than to jog the memory: for it takes more to make a man think, than to make him remember. …  Gracian #68 George Rebane When RR launched back in 2007 its purpose was to capture my and my readers’ views on humanity’s efforts to concurrently prepare for…
