  • Obama’s ‘Shared Sacrifice’ (Updated)

    George Rebane You have to be a progressive or recently arrived from Mars if you don’t know that this president is the least qualified to ever have held the office, and one who reaffirms it daily. By now we have all heard that this administration has had no clue on how to bring the economy…

  • 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…

  • Class Warfare a la Joe the Lip

    George Rebane This Sunday VP Joe Biden was speaking to fellow travelers at a Washington meeting of the National Education Association, the nation’s largest teachers’ union.  He didn’t have to hold back on his deep-seated belief that more socialism is better, and he let it all hang out.  To his audience our Vice President incredulously…

  • Tom McClintock Townhall – An Alternative Ignored?

    George Rebane Congressman Tom McClintock is a good man, and a politician Jo Ann and I have supported since our SoCal days.  We continue to support him. Last Thursday night (30jun11) we were in south (Nevada) county attending a townhall meeting with the congressman at a local Lions Club.  The focus of his speech was…

  • Tea Party Patriots welcomed Dr Anna Haynes

    George Rebane This evening Jo Ann and I, along with a neighbor, attended the monthly Nevada County Tea Party Patriots meeting that filled the Easterly Hall of the Nevada County Realtors Association.  We were happy to see Dr Anna Haynes sitting in the throng, listening with great interest to the speakers, and taking notes.  Dr…

  • Ruminations – 29jun2011

    George Rebane MediaMatters.org has declared “war” on Fox News.  This far left organization, one of many such enterprises receiving funds from George Soros, is seeking to squelch speech with which it disagrees.  This type of political action is a common distinguishing feature of progressive tactics drawn from the Saul Alinsky play book Rules for Radicals (1971).  Can you imagine…

  • The AtPac Suit – More fumes ascending (updated 16jul2011)

    George Rebane Nevada County issued a professional services contract to SC Consulting in Pollock Pines contemplating work that started on 10 June 2011 and was completed on 24 June 2011.  The presumed purpose of the contract was for the consultant, Steven Steinbrecher, to conduct an investigation, comprised of a series of interviews with county management…

  • 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…

  • Yes, Liberal Nostalgia

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my bi-weekly KVMR commentary that aired on 24 June 2011.] Many of us small time political philosophers have long maintained that progressives are really not all that progressive.  That most of their ideas are pretty moss-backed, have been around for more than a few centuries, and have been…

  • Unified Field Bank – like a bad penny

    George Rebane … it just keeps coming back to Nevada City.  Last March I did a KVMR commentary on what obviously looks at best like the blind leading the blind, and at worst like a scam.  (‘Community Partnership Banking – Worm Farm 2?’)  Their nearby poster (click to enlarge) announces a “follow-up” to the “enthusiastic response” they…
