  • Blair Holt Licensing and Record Act of 2009

    [The email below was forwarded by a correspondent.  I have edited it for readability.  Here is a link for more on the status of HR45 and a link to its full text.  My own sentiments on the Second Amendment and its seminal importance in the maintenance of our republic were posted here.  Do not believe the…

  • ‘Ethanol Faces Facts’

    [A correspondent sent me the following article on carbon footprinting of ethanol production by D.T. Adolphus that was initially published on the Hemmings eWeekly newsletter.  With minor format editing for readability, I have decided to post the entire article.  It sheds needed light on the important facets of the ethanol issue, and in the process shows…

  • NASA’s Hockeystick Hansen Rebuked

    George Rebane James Hansen, the NASA scientist responsible for most of the so-called computer modeling behind the global warming scare, has been publicly rebuked by his former boss Dr. John Theon, now retired.  I would be remiss if I didn’t pick up this important development for RR readers since the MSM may never make much…

  • McClintock visits Nevada County

    George Rebane This afternoon Russ Steele and I went to an intimate coffee and wine meeting with Congressman Tom McClintock and about thirty other local folks.  Tom McClintock was introduced by our State Senator Sam Aanestad,  Russ has already posted on the meeting here (that man is fast).  I just want to add a couple of points…

  • Ruminations – 19jan2009

    George Rebane The MSM (aka mainstream media), God love ‘em, but what are we going to do with them?  Russ Steele on NC Media Watch keeps us up to date (I had to bag the nearby image from his link) with MSM developments, especially as it involves our local media.  My modest contribution here is from…

  • Imported Dollar Multipliers and Local Economies (14jan09 update)

    George Rebane With the worldwide economic downturn that is being amplified by the mavens in Sacramento, there is a lot of interest and attention paid to local economies.  Here we are trying hard to keep existing businesses (by buying locally) and at the same time attract more firms or cash importers to our community.  In…

  • Ruminations – 8jan2009 (updates 9jan09)

    George Rebane It turns out we really can have two Presidents at a time.  As President-elect Obama was holding his next news conference and giving a “very important speech” exhorting Congress to pass his economic stimulus package (more on that insanity below) before he gets sworn in, the BBC World observed sagely that “Obama knows…

  • Ruminations – 4jan2009

    George Rebane Our liberties continue to be ratcheted downward.  Our daily round, as it were, is taking place in an ever smaller corral.  As RR readers know, this is one of the national issue threads that I am compelled to track in these posts.  A recent ratchet click is reported on the CABPRO Report in…

  • Deepak Chopra’s advice to Obama (4jan09 update)

    George Rebane A modern Chinese naval squadron is now operating off the coast of Africa, the first such projection of power since the 1400s.  Stratfor reports that these ships also completed their first at-sea replenishment as they joined the international effort to suppress piracy off the coast of Somalia.  Along with Russia and India, China…

  • BS Levels High – Sea Levels Uncertain

    George Rebane Reading a recent post on NC Media Watch on climate change and sea levels made me go back and redo some previous research on the difficult problem of measuring sea levels.  The bottom line is that measuring the earth’s sea levels (yes, there are many of them) is still a difficult and unsolved…
