  • After the reactors are shut down

    George Rebane And then where shall we turn for clean reliable energy?  More here from Anthony Watts on the implications of the nuclear shutdowns for the global warming movement.  And in a broader scope see Cato’s False Promise of Green Energy.  H/T to RR reader for photos. Ending on a lighter note, we may try the…

  • Beware the RL Crabb

    George Rebane RL ‘Bob’ Crabb, Nevada County’s master of the incisive view, gores all of our oxen in turn.  This appears in today’s 15mar11 Union.

  • Ruminations – 15mar2011 (updated 16mar2011)

    George Rebane [To alert the more sensitive reader, this post is rated PG-13 for its horrific imagery and strong language.] Ah yes, ‘tis the Ides of March dear Brutus. – Ragheads, a powerful evil– Government shutdown?– Hyperventilating nuclear power It’s been hard for me to figure out how to respond to another in a steady stream of atrocities…

  • Republican Spring Social Invitation

    Rich Ulrey Join the Nevada County Republican Party for the annual Spring Dinner on April 9th and help us celebrate Ronald Reagan's 100th Birthday!

  • The Liberal Mind – Go See for Yourself

    George Rebane The validation of the far left’s violent rage and call for revolution that we have seen with the advent of Wisconsin’s public employee labor unions (PELUs) is everywhere you look today.  While attacking by name those who don’t agree with their ideas about America or its future, these progressives cum communists take what…

  • Dancing the CPB Sidestep

    George Rebane [This is the submitted form of my March column in The Union.  It appears in today's (12mar2011) printed and online editions of the newspaper.] Last Friday many of us attended a well-oiled presentation on the concept of ‘community partnership banking.’   This was given in the Nevada City council chambers by Mr David Rose,…

  • “… and then they came for the trade unionists.” (updated 12mar2011)

    George Rebane So laments William Rivers Pitt of truthout.com, one of the most extreme leftwing commentators in my experience.  He starts his latest screed on the Wisconsin legislature’s attempt to balance the state’s budget that has suffered under the largesse extracted by its public service unions.  Pitt revs into gear with the now famous aphorism that…

  • Weather Again Upstages Global Warming

    George Rebane An attentive reader from our country’s warmer parts pointed me to a piece that should send a chill up Al Gore’s hind quarters.  It seems that in recent winters the Baltic Sea has been getting extra icy.  The northern parts of that sea freeze regularly near land and the harbors.  But during these…

  • Community Partnership Banking – Worm Farm 2? (updated 5mar2011)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular radio commentary that aired tonight 4mar11 on KVMR-FM 89.5.  I have addended some observations from attending the 4mar11 meeting where the described banking concept was presented.] Something called ‘community partnership banking’ is being sold to Nevada City right now as you listen to this commentary.   Helping to…

  • The Two Sides of Wisconsin

    George Rebane The Republican instigated, public service union sponsored imbroglio in Wisconsin continues to roil.  The left spreads itself as the protector of workers’ rights and defender of America’s middle class, the right attempts the logic of ‘this can’t go on’ and sides with the country’s taxpayers.  I think the left is getting the better…
