  • NBC – Lamestream’s poster child

    George Rebane NBC (National Bamboozle Company), one of the premier leftwing media outlets, has been a main motivator for the widely used ‘lamestream’ label.  Now it turns out they have achieved a new level of sleazebag journalism.  This week’s Congressional contempt citation to Attorney General Eric Holder has the network presenting extended background coverage as…

  • Ackerman to leave The Union

    George Rebane I was surprised to read this in the 20jun12 online paywalled edition of The Union.  H/T to RR reader. Jeff Ackerman, publisher of The Union, announced today that he will be leaving the newspaper after 10 years of serving the western Nevada County community. Ackerman will be taking an expanded scope of responsibilities…

  • That droning you hear …

    George Rebane These pages have long covered the advances and uses of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or ‘drones’ for surveillance and interdiction.  My usual examination of new technology in such areas includes its portent as a tool to install and maintain tyranny.  I suppose that suspicion is built into my double helix.  Well, apparently that…

  • Judea Pearl, Turing Laureate

    George Rebane Judea Pearl, Professor of Computer Sciences UCLA, received the A.M. Turing Award last night at the awards banquet of the Association of Computing Machinery at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco.  He now joins the forty-three previous laureates of the ‘Nobel prize of computing’, of whom twenty-five were in attendance to honor him. Jo…

  • Ruminations – 12jun12 (updated 13jun12)

    George Rebane The situation in Europe is coming to a head, and Angela's got the whole world in her hand.  Now it’s definitely Spain’s and Italy’s turn in the barrel.  The remarkable news is that most likely there will be another €100B thrown at Spain’s banks intended to bail them out of bad sovereign debts…

  • For the record: public service unions and national security leaks

    George Rebane Among other more far seeing mavens, RR and its selected cohort of commenters deserve a little chest thump and back slap or two for being years ahead of what has now emerged as national wisdom on the destructive force that is the public service unions operating at ALL levels of government. Now we…

  • Silencing and Suppressing the Right

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary that will be broadcast early next week due to this week being the station’s regular late spring pledge week.] The debate about who is trying to silence whom continues.  Over the past decades the evidence has favored the Right since McCarthy was accused of…

  • Austerity works (updated 14jun12)

    George Rebane RR has been focused on matters economic for some years now as the crises build here and in Europe.  In their efforts to recover, I’ve tried to make the case that Europe and the US have actually been headed in opposite directions.  Cutting to the chase, debt and socialist policies – entitlements, commerce…

  • The Liberal Mind – ‘Women are dumb.’

    George Rebane Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid peeled off another liberal bon mot this morning – “Republicans don’t want women to earn equal pay.”  This electioneering stunt is hoisted every couple of years, regular as clockwork in support of the latest Democrat sponsored bill that is a sop to class action lawyers and would kill…

  • Lamestream in the Limelight (updated 6jun12)

    George Rebane Ramirez nails the latest.  And did you hear – well, actually it was hard to do that – how the those self-adulating lamestream journalists all went silent the instant that the district attorney released evidence supporting Zimmerman against the hooligan who was pounding his head into the concrete.  Then all the spigots opened…
