  • The Great Escape

    George Rebane It gives little pleasure to remind us all that progressives are socio-economically ignorant, incorrigible, and unrepentant.  The great escape of companies from the once Golden State continues unabated.  From Nevada County we see the next stage departure of our formerly iconic Grass Valley Group as its remnants are merged with Miranda Technologies.  It…

  • Ruminations – 22apr14 (updated 27apr14)

    George Rebane The recent DoS attack on Typepad has made reading and commenting tough on RR and countless other blogs on that service.  In this interval I have had a chance to put some serious effort into one of my other lives – investor in and technical consultant to a rapidly growing financial engineering start-up…

  • Media Bias – Living in Separate Worlds

    George Rebane Recently the Media Research Center released two reports on how Americans are exposed to what is happening domestically and in the world.  The data in those reports show that most of us who depend on the lamestream and Spanish language outlets get a totally different picture of what is happening – mainly the…

  • CABPRO Controversy Continued

    [CABPRO is going through some considerable internal dissension between its formerly uncontested Executive Director Mr Chuck Shea and its formerly uncontested Board of Directors.  Today both parties are claiming to be in legitimate control of the organization.  Ms Melinda Monaghan, one of the formerly uncontested directors wrote a letter to the CABPRO membership and asked…

  • The Growing Madness in the Land (updated 12mar14)

    George Rebane By any measure America would be seen as clinically insane by an alien observer arriving on earth.  The insanity is marbled in at all levels of society starting from the highest levels of government to the dishwasher in a small town hotel.  But the real problem is that about a third of our…

  • Go along to get screwed

    George Rebane From recent developments we again see that compromising your principles to play the ‘go along to get along’ (GATGA) game does not work.  It looks like the two Republican strategies I outlined in 'Republican Rumblings' were spot on when we consider what went down at CPAC this week, and what the Repubs are…

  • State of the Union – we wait with trepidation

    George Rebane NPR woke us up this morning with another cheery report of California’s progress in education and unfunded public employees’ pension liabilitities.  We are now told that latest testing shows three out of four fourth graders are reading below grade level.  And the solution to that is, …, wait for it, more of the…

  • Did you know? – 18jan2014 (updated 20jan14)

    George Rebane This launches the sometime series of things that I did not know, or was not fully aware of the details. The censoring of free speech on college campuses is much more pervasive than the lamestream has led us believe.  It turns out that the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has been…

  • Left’s Assault on Free Speech Unabated

    "When I use a word, it means precisely what i say it means, nothing more nor less", Humpty Dumpty George Rebane One of RR’s major tenets describing America’s political scene has been that the Left constantly and asymmetrically continues their attempts to silence conservative and libertarian political speech.  Even with recent disclosures like the IRS’…

  • Supervisor Weston to Manage County’s Unfunded Liabilities (updated 16nov13)

    George Rebane The 14nov13 Union announced that Supervisor Hank Weston will seek a 3rd term for the county’s fourth district.  Among the reasons for his re-election Mr Weston cited his “budgetary experience” that will now be necessary to manage the county’s response to its unfunded liabilities that are coming home to roost.  In particular CalPERS…
