  • Water + Sunlight = Energy

    George Rebane I’ve been an open critic of ARRA ever since it started a year ago.  But I do want to report on a possible benefit that may derive out of ARRA funds that are being channeled through the Advanced Research Projects Agency(Energy branch) to Sun Catalytix, a start-up in Massachusetts.   Physorg.com reports – With…

  • Census Fraud

    George Rebane County CEO Rick Haffey sent out this warning in his usual ‘Friday memo’ to the Supes yesterday.  Good stuff to know as we prepare to answer the 2010 census.  Beware of Fraudulent Census Questionnaires: You may have seen the all county e-mail that was sent out yesterday concerning fraudulent census questionnaires. As the…

  • Social Security Lockbox – KVMR commentary

    George Rebane [I recorded this commentary for its scheduled 5mar10 run on KVMR FM89.5.  The topic was a continuation of ‘The Sad Tale of Patricia Black’ post that exposed a surprising ignorance that a large number on the left profess about the status of Social Security funding.  I consider this to be a serious problem…

  • The Sad Tale of Patricia Black

    George Rebane Ms Patricia Black is one of probably millions across the country who has been taken in by the progressive media and pundits debunking America’s Social Security crisis.  In a letter to the newspaper, she lambasts my 13feb10 Union column for “perpetuating the mistaken idea that Social Security is broke.”  She firmly believes that…

  • Calpers, Capers? – what the L is the difference? (updated)

    George Rebane Readers familiar with my screeds were informed almost two years ago of the unfunded liabilities game played across our formerly golden state.   One aspect of the game was how Calpers – the world’s largest state employees’ retirement fund manager – was projecting its future income from the retirement monies it invests.  The yokels…

  • One Census Too Far

    George Rebane The feds are telling us that they need to collect all that data about us in the 2010 census so that government can serve us better.  Nine out of ten of us will get the ‘short form’ that already goes beyond what the Constitution prescribes for a census.  One out of ten will…

  • Clerk-Recorder – There’s more to be said …

    George Rebane Let me say from the gitgo that I support Barry Pruett for Clerk-Recorder and have contributed to his campaign.  On his blog my friend Aaron Klein (another person the Rebanes support) has written an eloquent endorsement of Barry with which I totally agree.  Yesterday our Union published a lengthy front page article that…

  • Ruminations – 27feb2010

    George Rebane • Horses on Border Patrol• Climategate ad nauseum• The Consummate Harry Reid The Border Patrol has discovered the age-old utility of horses on broad open country.  The agent on a horse has all kinds of advantages over the on-foot illegal alien and/or drug runner.  The agents are able to use the natural senses and sensibility of…
