Category: Comment Sandbox

  • [New month – March already!! – deserves a new sandbox.  Upcoming happenings include Netanyahu's speech to Congress Tuesday, and the progress of demonstrations in Russia protesting Nemtsov's death and Putin's response.  In the meanwhile Islamists continue to gleefully acquire new territories and people, in the US our chief of intelligence warns of the highest danger from…

  • [Boy, do these sandboxes fill up fast!  Has anybody read the just published 'The Great Divide – Why Liberals and Conservatives will never, ever agree' by William D. Gairdner?  It seems that others are beginning to realize that we are beyond the tipping point and our polarization is irredeemable.  But then, longtime RR readers are aware…

  • [As a heads up, the transcript of my KVMR commentary this week is entitled 'Those Left Behind' and will post around 6pm.  Its focus is Obama's budget and the wage/wealth gap, so if you want to hold your fire on that until you can post comments under a relevant topic.  Thanks. gjr]

  • [OK people, I'm disappointed in you.  Here I posted a piece on what's happening in Greece that will have significant fallout on all of us in America, and no one gave a big rat's ass.  Are you guys pulling in your horns and want RR to revert to a local issues mudball fight?  Ain't gonna…

  • [Economic development season is rolling around again in Nevada County.  What directions should it take and how do we do it in this small mountain county off the beaten path?  Our ERC will kick things off this year with a confab on the topic this Thursday in the GV vets hall.  They do welcome ideas,…

  • [It seems that I just blink, and the last sandbox is overflowing.  Again apologies for the delay in opening a new one.  The comment stream of 'Scattershots – 4jan15' was beginning to bear too many extra-curricular burdens.]

  • [Happy 2015 to one and all, may this year's discussions and debates be equally energetic and stimulating as the jousting that took place in 2014.  I promise to do my part by trying to serve up as many ideological and current events hot buttons as possible.  For this sandbox I throw out 'The New Wave…

  • [Am happy to see how RR readers use the sandboxes and how quickly they fill up with topics and tete a tetes that are beyond my meager abilities to cover and coherently comment on.  As an amusing aside, received an email about our celebrated cartoonist RL Crabb who for years has apparently been delinquent in not…

  • [Many apologies for falling asleep at the switch; this sandbox is long overdue.  gjr]
