  • Scattershots – 31mar20 (updated 4apr20)

    George Rebane Happiness is being tested positive for C19 antibodies. The US has five times as many per capita ventilators as does the UK.  This was reported on the news tonight along with other real stats showing the comparative lead the US has over other countries in fighting C19.  Concurrently we have the Democrats doing…

  • Hunker Down Diary – 30mar20 (updated)

    George Rebane When there’s a problem, don’t bet against government as being its source. For the Rebanes today is HD23.  Given the comment stream under the 26mar20 posting of HDD, in addition to sharing my own hunker down doings, I am going to make this an ongoing repository of readers’ experiences, views, and opinions concerning…

  • Sandbox – 29mar20

    [Now that we're back to mudball fights, we should take them to a fresh sandbox.  I'm constantly amused by our lefty readers not refuting/citing the facts but simply dismissing them on the basis of their dislike of the publisher or broadcaster.  Haven't seen rightwinger dismiss what came out of Maddow simply because it came out…

  • Junk Journalism on Parade (updated 4apr20)

    George Rebane Ignorant, cynical, agenda-driven (you pick) media scribes and talking heads are doing a real disservice to the American public.  Their latest is the reporting of misconstrued pandemic data in ways designed to make the US look like an incompetent laggard in the fight against the virus.  Playing to an innumerate audience, these ‘journalists’…

  • Hunker Down Diary – 26mar20 (updated 27mar20)

    George Rebane When there’s a problem, government is guilty until proven innocent. Today is HD19 for the Rebanes.  We started hunkering down on 8 March 2020, and finally risked it all this morning by showing up at our local Safeway at 7am, the advertised ‘old folks shopping time’.  Apparently the younger people had not gotten…

  • The Value of Testing

    George Rebane Trigger warning: The contents of this commentary may not be accessible to the innumerate reader. As explained in ‘Testing, testing, …’, the value of testing comes to the fore when you have a sufficiently reliable test that can be administered on a regular and scientific basis over a suspect population.  In that case,…

  • The Demonic Party reveals itself (updated 25mar20)

    George Rebane The congressional Democrats have plumbed new depths of unabashed and sickening sleaze as they block the passage of the Senate bill to provide liquidity and relief to the nation’s economy on the verge of depression.  The multi-trillion dollar aid package is designed to prevent bankruptcies of countless companies that provide jobs to millions…

  • ‘Your money or your life!’ (updated 21mar20)

    George Rebane Proposition:  Many more lives will be lost and/or ruined by intentionally tanking our economy into a depression, than will be lost to Covid19 going forward with a balanced policy of social distancing and continuing our economic pursuits with due prudence during the waning epidemic. The iconic and immortal Jack Benny, comic of a…

  • Scattershots – 20mar20 (22mar20)

    George Rebane 'Most of us will get the Wuhan virus, a small fraction of us will die.  But we will continue business and commerce as usual with all the prudence we can each muster, because the death and destitution a depression will bring will be much worse for all of us.'  A hoped for statement…

  • Dropout Derby – 19mar20

    George Rebane And then there were two, and what a pair!  Of all the passengers in the Dems’ clown car, two of their biggest have managed to hang on, and one of them will now vie for the White House.  Given the attention she received from the DNC and the activity level of her campaigning,…
