  • Blazing skirt hits airwaves (updated 20sep12)

    From a 16sep12 email – “…inspired by the performance of the execrable Susan Rice today; just once, I’d like to see an administration official on TV who doesn’t make me wonder how the f*** they got that job.” George Rebane The crap has been hitting the fan in such volume the last couple of days…

  • Homeland Security Muscles Up

    First they came for the veterans, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a veteran; then they came for Tea Party members, and I didn’t speak out because I didn’t belong to the Tea Party; then they came for …; and then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak…

  • The Advent of Obamunism

    George Rebane [This is the submitted form of my column to The Union published in their 15sep12 print and online editions.  The new Union website doesn’t appear to have date-specific URLs, and its contents, including my column, have no apparent permalinks.  The column is available in their ‘e-edition’ which is an image of the print…

  • An Amateur in the White House

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 14 September 2012.] The events of this week continue to highlight the long held conclusion that we have an amateur in the White House.  As more becomes known about the attacks on sovereign US territories in Cairo and Benghazi, we are discovering…

  • Ruminations – 14sep12

    George Rebane Well, it appears that Glenn Beck is back, and in spades.  Where before he had just an hour on Fox News, he has virtually taken over Dish TV’s channel 212 programming.  His format is basically the same with some news programming added on.  I still don’t understand how many of his hour long…

  • Mitt Romney exposed

    George Rebane This arrived in an email from a friend and correspondent.  Thought it might be worth rolling an eyeball over.  Thoughts?

  • Biden opens, Obama has the middle, Cardinal Dolan wraps (updated 7sep12)

    George Rebane Well, the Democrats wound up their quadrennial bash with a big night of Joe Biden who kept both feet firmly on the floor and out of his mouth.  I thought his was the best speech of the night.  Timothy Cardinal Dolan did the anchor leg with a closing prayer that could easily have…

  • 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…

  • Democratic Convention in another universe (updated 6sep12)

    George Rebane Watching the show from Charlotte tonight and listening to speaker after speaker, one thing is clear.  The only future worth having for America is the one that is selected, directed, and “invested” in by government.  I am still looking for a shred of middle ground on which purchase could be had to start…

  • Ruminations – 2sep12

    George Rebane Last year a polarized Congress came up with Satan’s Sequester as the compromise for raising the debt ceiling and not shutting down the government.  That infamous sequester was not a plan anyone expected to execute, it was just to let everyone get on with electioneering in hopes of winning the spending cut and…
