  • Tech Scattershots – 5jan2010

    George Rebane dedicated ereaders not long for this world flexed muscles control computers for the masses Top ten scientific breakthroughs for 2009 Some major technology themes for 2010  The dedicated ereader’s demise is coming on schedule.  Ray Kurzweil, rich genius and tech inventor extraordinaire, is unveiling his platform independent Blio ebook software at the annual…

  • Jobs, jobs, JOBS

    George Rebane Our economy is supposed to be on the mend, having been stimulated from one end to the other, with another insertion on the way.  But jobs are not on the leading edge of these recoveries.  In fact, not only will employment lag, but as most of you know (at least from these pages),…

  • Stimulus Stingers

    George Rebane When RR suggested that the American Rehabilitation and Recovery Act of 2009 was a misnomer, and it really stood for the American Redistribution and Re-election Act, many liberal readers took their usual exception to this as just another unfounded libertarian screed.  Now the state legislatures that accepted ARRA monies (California among them) are beginning…

  • Obama’s careful calculations

    George Rebane With the overwhelming amount of the $787 billion left to be distributed from the American Redistribution and Re-election Act of 2009, it will be interesting to see how much vote buying will be done in Nevada County in 2010.  We should be getting most of the $6.1 million that has been promised to…

  • The California Plan

    Dear Governor Schwarzenegger – The 12+% California unemployment rate has been on all of our minds, but an idea occurred to me as we drove home from visiting our kids in the Seattle area over Christmas.  You see, when I pulled into a filling station in Oregon a nice young lady wearing an international orange…

  • Ruminations – 28dec2009 (updated 29dec09)

    George Rebane – Obama gets an ‘A’ from me– Nigerian bomber underlines the government employee– Washington’s double taxation of investment gains Never mind the fruitless foreign policy escapades and stimulus packages that have not stimulated.  Candidate Obama promised one and all a “fundamental transformation” of the country into European type redistributionist socialism.  Many people didn’t pay attention or…

  • Congressional Crapola

    George Rebane Some people maintain that it is only the ignorant, mostly minority populated congressional districts that send similarly endowed idiots to represent them in Congress.  A poster child for this thesis is the notorious Maxine Waters who recently and inadvertently blurted out the Democrats’ intent to socialize the country (video here).  I contend that…

  • Surprise! Copenhagen ends with a deal

    George Rebane Well, it was touch and go there for almost two weeks and that prepared us for the cliff hanger.  The legions of naifs around the world wondered how it would all end.  Of course, it ended with a “meaningful agreement” precisely as scripted.  RR readers should be issuing a collective yawn tinged with a…

  • Remember, when the Sky Was Falling

    George Rebane Today memories hearken back to last February when the new Obama administration was screaming that $787,000,000,000 was required for all the "shovel ready" jobs in order to save the economy.  The American Redistribution and Re-election Act of 2009 had to be passed immediately if not sooner to accomplish salvation.  Well about 12% of it…

  • Lights At Both Ends of the Tunnel

    George Rebane Have you ever felt that you were in a tunnel with lights approaching from both ends?  That is how it seems that our country is situated with Obamacare rushing in from one end and Cap n’Tax (aka Waxman-Markey) coming from the other.  Both are powered by the biggest government frauds launched in modern times. …
