  • How the gulf between us widens (updated 12aug15)

    To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil. – Charles Krauthammer George Rebane Students of American history agree that President Lincoln was the prime instigator of federalism’s decline and the growth of Washington’s power over our land and lives. …

  • Ruminations – 10jul15 (updated 11jul15)

    George Rebane After carefully perusing ample evidence on the matter, I am sad to conclude as gently as I can that Board Trustee of the Nevada Joint Union High School District Ms Linda Campbell is an idiot.  My non-accredited belief is based on following her previous public correspondence, and was confirmed this morning by a reading of…

  • The Tangled Threads of Our Times

    George Rebane Given the 25jun15 SCOTUS ruling on ACA, I had to rush off a post on it since RR's readership will not sit idly by and let an occasion like this pass without extensive discussion and debate.  And this happening may even fit into these thoughts that I’ll try to weave together on equally…

  • Scattershots – 22jun15 (updated 27jun15)

    George Rebane Economic development in Nevada County must address what many of us see as the three legs of the county’s existing economy – IT based industry, tourism, and retirees.  Absent public service employees, these are the three main cash importers.  There are initiatives in place to attract more IT companies through increased broadband availability…

  • The Liberal Mind – More examples of Reason Denied

    George Rebane In the 11jun15 sandbox a left-leaning reader pointed out the recent speech (here) of a California conservative assemblywoman who believes that God has intervened to bring drought upon our land as a corrective to punish us for our legalized practice of infanticide and abortions.  Another similarly leaning reader weighed in with his opinion…

  • Scattershots – 14jun15 (updated 16jun15)

    George Rebane The general circulation models (GCMs) still aren’t worth a crap.  For most of us able to read the literature, that fact has been known for well over a decade.  And looking at how GCM errors have remained large and unchanged, the models haven’t gotten any better.  But that makes no never mind to…

  • Reflections on Directions

    George Rebane We are told that the Internet is forever.  The global system today is already so vast and complex that no one can map it, and no one knows what comprises all of its processors (aka bit shifters) and data storage repositories (aka bit buckets).  So we can think of entries like these as…

  • America’s Sinister Security Circus

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 3 June 2015.] For weeks now we have been hearing about the need to renew the Patriot Act that has authorized the federal government to collect data on literally every phone call made in the United States.  No probable cause was needed. …

  • GNI (continued) – Buffett’s Epiphany

    ‘… when you’re rich, they think you really know!’ -  Tevye the dairyman George Rebane [We continue examination of Guaranteed National Income that commenced in the previous post, ‘Guaranteed National Income guaranteed’.] From the pantheon of America’s richest and wisest, we hear that Warren Buffett has now discovered systemic unemployment, especially of the kind that…

  • Guaranteed National Income guaranteed

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 20 May 2015.] Listeners of these commentaries may recall that I support redistribution of wealth.  This line drew gasps from the Nevada County Republican Central Committee when several years ago I dropped it into one of the talks I was invited…
