Month: September 2018

  • Scattershots – 10sep18 (updated 11sep18)

    George Rebane What’s wrong with this picture? The Left likes to make lying a pastime unique to Republican politicians, especially President Trump.  None of them probably noticed that literally all of the Dems’ leading lights on the Judiciary Committee told whoppers when they grilled Judge Kavanaugh in their vain attempts to pry something loose that…

  • American Retreat

    George Rebane Robert Kagan is a historian and political scientist with an endowed fellowship at the Brookings Institute.  He perches a bit left of center from where he has been a foreign policy adviser to both Republican and Democratic presidents.  Dinesh D’Souza is a conservative political commentator, author, and filmmaker formerly associated with the Heritage…

  • Sandbox – 7sep18

    [It's clear that our liberal readers have a wildly different conception of 'witch hunt' than the rest of us.  The WH effort to discover the self-declared anonymous leaker and resister who wrote the NYT op-ed is an existential and legitimate target of an internal investigation to ferret out someone who promises to make shambles of…

  • ‘Choose capitalism’

    George Rebane So argues Manny Montes in an excellent piece in the 6sep18 Union (here).  Mr Montes, who lives in Auburn, is a kindred spirit we have cited before in these pages.  He begins by reminding us how the lamestream media misleads and purposely spreads discontent (‘enemy of the people’?) by continuing to imply that…

  • The Vassals of Corporatism

    George Rebane The good part of capitalism is that it games the system; the bad part of capitalism is that it games the system. [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 5 September 2018.] I was going to do this week’s commentary on the ongoing Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Judge…

  • Ruminations – 4sep2018 (updated 7sep18)

    George Rebane Rapidly decreasing sperm counts in western males.  The trend is now over 40 old and presumably contributed to by some ‘endocrine disruptor’ chemicals in the plastics we use. (here)  Now that is a real shot in the shorts because low sperm counts are also harbingers of all kinds of other maladies in men…

  • fMRI in your pocket

    George Rebane A longtime friend, RR reader, and former colleague just made me aware of this latest reason to celebrate capitalism.  The name of the new start-up is Openwater that has invented and is now productizing a whole new medical imaging technology that uses light and sound.  Its introduction into the healthcare markets here and…

  • Local socialist labors on the Economy

    George Rebane On this Labor Day our Union columnist George Boardman takes a particularly dim view of the state our economy and its workforce (here).  He recounts economic news only to continue the socialist narrative of envy and promote some dismal legislation, while decrying the evil and uncaring capitalist system under which Americans are forced…

  • Fair Division 101B

    George Rebane In ‘Fair Division 101’ I introduced readers to the field of fair division algorithms and presented a powerful and easy-to-use two-party algorithm derived from the literature which I named FD01.  At the conclusion of that dissertation I offered a method for extending FD01 for use by more than two parties.  The method works…

  • Sandbox – 1sep18

    [Good-hearted Darrell Berkheimer, one of our Union’s several progressive columnists, is truly an exemplar of ideological low hanging fruit.  His most recent 1sep18 column is standard leftwing pap and a collection of its staple feel-good talking points, with no consideration of how any of such socialist goals can be achieved, either with living breathing human…
