  • Listen up you idiots, … (updated 23jul2011)

    George Rebane [For a translation of the following transcript that’s more suited for polite company, please see the article in the 20jul11 Union.] …, er, I mean all you good citizens and taxpayers of Nevada County.  Since the case is now settled, I’m gonna explain to you how this lawsuit went down, and I’m not…

  • Summit Sillies

    George Rebane Things have been getting a little too serious around here – and may again.    “No you didn’t Nick, I beat you fair and square!  Next time we do it for real; pack your stuff.”

  • Trickle Down – the definitive view

    George Rebane Nevada County’s cartoonist RL ‘Bob’ Crabb published another one of his blockbuster social commentaries in the 19jul11 Union.  It graphically illustrates what a good portion of the country has been taught about our nation’s economic ladder and their place on it.  And there’s more to say about that.  

  • Comparing and Contrasting Katrina

    George Rebane In the last week I received from four correspondents the following as a forwarded email.  So I suppose it is making the rounds in at least the conservative circles.  The important points it raises are the sum and stuff of what is discussed on RR.  No matter how you look at them, the…

  • The Measure of Victory (updated 16jul2011)

    George Rebane New SecDef Leon Panetta claims that we are close to “strategically defeating” Al Qaeda, and thereby close to winning the war on terror.  This gives the appropriate backing to the administration’s just launched policy of bringing home the troops from the Mideast, else no one would give a big yawn about whether or…

  • KVMR and Nevada Theater Partnership: 2 + 2 = 5

    George Rebane KVMR-FM and Nevada Theater have come up with a match made in heaven.  This is indeed good news that is a win-win for both organizations and another feather in our community's cultural cap.  (RR readers are aware that I do a bi-weekly radio commentary on this station.)  The press release below tells it…

  • ‘An Exceptional Fourth’

    George Rebane   In his Independence Day message Victor Davis Hanson summarizes again what these pages seek to communicate about our country.  As you celebrate today, think of how exceptional and blessed is America, and that we, who are lucky enough to be its citizens, are entrusted with passing ‘it’ on to our children and…

  • Nevada County – A Summer Evening Concert

    George Rebane Say what you will, but them big city folk just don’t know what it is to drive a few minutes, have a good dinner with your sweetie, and then set your bag chairs in front of an impressive little band under the trees and listen to some mighty fine toe tappin’ tunes.  Jo…

  • Veterans May Render Military Flag Salute

    George Rebane This item of pride in having served our country has caused much confusion during the last couple of years.  There should be no confusion, U.S. veterans may now salute the flag, thanks to the efforts of U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.). Inhofe's Senate Bill 1877 passed by unanimous consent, clarifying U.S. law to…

  • Democracy Bound on the Ship of Fools (updated 28jun2011)

    George Rebane Lately our American ship of state has taken an historical pummeling, and the beating literally goes on as you read this.  The remarkable part is that our country was designed and built so well that it can take a decade (generation?) or two of utter mismanagement, and still provide a world class home…
