  • Now Playing at ‘Townhalls’ Near You

    George Rebane When the schools no longer teach, you can feed their ‘graduates’ any garbage you want; they have no means to tell the difference.  The American townhall meeting is a piece of history still alive in a few places, but now totally distorted into national political theater.  A townhall meeting was where local people met…

  • Social Engineering Scattershots

    George Rebane Since we’re heading for the ‘European Model’, we should look at some of its practices.  In Great Britain the government is expanding its program of putting CCTV cameras in the homes of the country’s “worst families”.  These will be monitored by government agencies to make sure that they are raising their kids properly…

  • Ruminations – 3aug2009

    George Rebane Jo Ann and I returned last night from Denver where we went Friday to celebrate the marriage of our first granddaughter.  Claire and David were married in a simple yet very meaningful ceremony at their church surrounded by family and friends.  The whole affair was preceded and followed by all the traditional dinners…

  • The Public, Healthcare, and Politics – Scattershots

    George Rebane It was bit mind boggling to watch the news last night.  Hard to tell who is more expert at playing Pander the Public. 1. Reid and Pelosi are now vilifying the health insurance industry as being terminally evil for having their profits increase 450% over the last decade.  That’s it, just that their profits…

  • Singularity’s Apprehensive Approach

    George Rebane ‘Scientists Worry Machines May Outsmart Man’ is the title of an uneven yet revealing piece in the 25jul09 NYT by John Markoff.  The article was apparently motivated by a quiet (‘secret’ sounds too sinister) conference at Asilomar on Monterey Bay sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence last February.  It…

  • Cato on Obamacare Lies

    George Rebane Sometimes we small town commentators are viewed as holding extreme views.  And maybe we do when compared to people who are too busy to pay attention.  But what’s coming down from this socialist cesspool in the District of Columbia has not been seen in generations, perhaps ever.  The lies are historic and they…

  • Suffering from AB32? Take one AB118

    George Rebane AB32 is California's chronic killer as most RR and NCMediaWatch readers know.  Recently our Assemblyman Dan Logue along with 28 co-authors introduced AB118 as an antidote.  Russ Steele has an update and lots of contact information for the relevant electeds.  Please take a look here.

  • Healthcare Lies – Volume 1 (updated)

    George Rebane The President’s ‘news conference’ last night was Orwellian.  The man can lie with a straight face so well it is scary, and the sheeple just believe.  Here’s an interview that former Senator Fred Thompson had on his radio show with former New York Lt Gov Betsy McCaughey.  You can download a copy of the bill…

  • California’s Budget Agreement

    George Rebane Not to worry for a wee bit longer.

  • The Descent of Obama

    George Rebane The White House announced yesterday that it will withhold from Congress key economic information that it generates and distributes in the normal course of affairs.  The Heritage Foundation reports that – The White House … would be delaying release of updated financial and economic forecasts until the middle of August. In other words,…
