  • Dems Supermajority – there’s no stopping them now (updated 9nov12)

    George Rebane Not that there was any chance of doing that during the last thirty years or so.  Huffingtonpost.com summarizes it – State Democrats have won a supermajority in the legislature (at least 54 Assembly seats and 27 Senate seats), which means they can now reach the two-thirds majority vote needed to overcome filibusters and…

  • California Dumbing Down – SB1200, the latest chapter

    George Rebane If you 'don't do numbers', you don't do critical thinking. [This is the linked edition of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 26 October 2012.] Regular listeners to my little harangues are aware of the very large iceberg with which our ship of state is about to collide.  It will not be a…

  • Eric Cantor at Doug LaMalfa fundraiser

    George Rebane Yesterday the Steeles and Rebanes joined many other Nevada County conservatives in Auburn for a delicious and informative fundraiser for state Senator Doug LaMalfa running for Congress this November.  There to help him in the effort was House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Cantor gave a good, concise, and fairly comprehensive stump talk about…

  • Columbus Day 2012

    George Rebane Today we observe Cristofo’s grand achievement in 1492 that started the European conquest of the Americas – the Vikings blew their attempt about 500 years earlier.  This national holiday is specifically eschewed in Hawaii, Nevada, and, of course, California.  Nevertheless, I was reminded by a reader that RR would be remiss in not…

  • Agenda21 – Exhibit A on display locally (updated 7oct12)

    George Rebane The Left and their supporters deny the existence of UN's Agenda21 and their part in promoting its precepts.  That's to be expected of global collectivists to whom local control is anathema.  What is more insiduous is when such precepts under the "sustainable development" banner of the ICLEIs – the regional and local Agenda21…

  • CARB – open-loop idiots

    George Rebane For robust and reliable operation, both natural and man-made systems use feedback – monitoring output to determine how to control the system.  Open-loop systems – those not using feedback – are not very common in either nature or in the affairs of man.  The one common exception in the latter being governments which…

  • Ruminations – 2oct12

    George Rebane We add solyndra and solyndrize to the RR G&S lexicon.  Both in lower case, the first is a noun, the second a verb.  Other forms of modifiers like ‘solyndrizable’ will be readily formed and used as needed.  A solyndra is a government picked and supported enterprise foisted on the taxpayer as a private…

  • Spinning the Jobs Report

    George Rebane For the last year plus we’ve heard from Team Obama about how his policies have improved the economy by “creating” 4+ million new jobs since 2009.  It is on the other side of astounding how his supporters lap this up as being some kind of improvement rather than the actual disaster that it…

  • Intermission – NC Clerk-Recorder part of federal lawsuit

    George Rebane In this heated election season this little piece of correspondence I received might come across as a bit of administrivia.  But since it involves a local elected official – Clerk-Recorder Gregory Diaz – it may be worth a look in passing given his performance on the recent disastrous AtPac suit (q.v.).  It seems…

  • Agenda21 in Prop31’s clothing (Addended)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary that was aired on 31 August 2012.] Last Tuesday August 28th the Nevada County Board of Supervisors took up Propositions 30 and 31 that we will vote on in November.  The best I could make out at that well attended meeting was that Supervisor…
