  • Journalist Jokers (24nov08 update)

    George Rebane Today the professional journalist is in a sorry state of his own making.  Polls show that the public holds the journalist in very low esteem indeed, somewhere down there with lawyers and politicians.  Perhaps it’s time to start a new department that highlights one or two of the abundance of follies they foist…

  • Debate is Henceforth Forbidden

    George Rebane The following is taken from NCFocus, the blog of Anna Haynes, a local grassroots global warming activist and true believer. Note: Please comment *only* if you share the mainstream view that climate change is happening, the evidence strongly indicates humans are causing it, and it’s urgent that we address it now – comments from…

  • A Visit to McCloud

    George Rebane Last Friday Jo Ann and I put the cats in solitary, jumped into the Cherokee, and were on our way to discover McCloud.  This town of about 1,600 sits on Highway 89 less than ten miles east of where it joins I-5.  The dominant landscape feature of the surrounding territory is Mt. Shasta…

  • Election Reflections

    Mike McDaniel In all the election hoopla surrounding the socialists push for our "new hope" my focus was on the first question on the Massachusetts ballot.  "Question 1" as it was described on ads and radio waves would have abolished the MA state income tax (full disclosure; I contributed financially to the cause). The proposition…

  • Nevada County’s Power Future?

    George Rebane Hyperion Power Generation, Inc. in New Mexico has developed a small nuclear powerplant that can power 20,000 homes from a unit measuring a couple of meters on a side.  This generator with no moving parts will cost about $25M in place which is about twenty feet underground.  The technology is very mature with…

  • Broken Windows and California’s Greenhouse Gas Plan

    George Rebane The jury is in on California’s syndicated columnist Thomas Elias – his acumen in economics is about a bubble out of plumb.  The man’s 4nov08 piece ‘Greenhouse gas plan might green state economy’ in the San Diego Union (repeated in today’s Onion) was full of the liberal drivel that government funded make-work programs…

  • The Late Great California

    George Rebane This weekend Paul Krugman in the NYT ( ‘The Obama Agenda’ ) tells half the country that there’s something wrong with them because they were not teary-eyed when Obama was elected.  He also advises the president-elect to go forward with his big socialistic plans – damn the torpedoes and all that.  And he…

  • Consensus Science??!!

    George Rebane Dr. Michael Crichton M.D., the Harvard educated physician and one of the greatest techno-thriller authors of all time, died yesterday.  Besides leaving a string of page-turners that were technically accurate/plausible, the man was also a bit of a philosopher of science.  At this time of mass hysterias over incomprehensible topics sweeping an under-educated…

  • Oh My!

    George Rebane These eyes have seen many presidential elections, but none like this one.  I’m still walking around the house, tea cup in hand, in semi-shock.  Yesterday when the sun set we were hanging by a thin thread of hope that ‘that change’ would not come to pass.  It was not to be.  The community…
