  • Ebola – A Government Competency Metric (updated)

    George Rebane The extraordinarily incompetent Obama administration is not done with us yet.  We pray that it is only incompetency that has created the current trail of disastrous public policies to vex and punish us – it could be something much more sinister as some commentators have argued, and about which even RR has murmured. …

  • Measure S, As It Is (updated 21oct14)

    George Rebane Last night the local LWV held yet the latest forum (debate?) on Nevada County’s Measure S, the voter initiative to alleviate the claimed medical marijuana (MMJ) access problem.  The venue was NC’s Rood Center with both pro-S and anti-S sides well represented.  Readers recall that the county’s current Ordinance 2349 already permits and regulates the…

  • Scattershots – 10oct14 (updated 12oct14)

    George Rebane The dilemma of socialism is that it needs large masses of the ignorant and poor to stay in power.  Socialists know that public policies which enable and empower the individual will grow the economy but doom collectivist governance. Los Angeles gets a new national monument that President Obama will dedicate on his most recent fund…

  • Measure S – The Numbers Please! (updated 8oct14)

    George Rebane Pro-S supporters and community leaders have been denying Nevada County voters the relevant data with which to decide on how to vote for the Measure S medical marijuana (MMJ) initiative. They have been unwilling to count the number of legitimate MMJ users in the county.  Not only that, they maintain that such data…

  • Ruminations – 30sep14

    'My Uncle Frank in Chicago was a staunch Conservative, and voted straight Republican until the day he died.  Since then he has voted Democrat.'  (H/T to reader) George Rebane Measure S proponents have an ex parte court hearing tomorrow to change the wording on the ballot that has been known to all since last April.  These…

  • Thoughts on Marijuana and Measure S

    George Rebane Measure S to replace Nevada County’s current Ordinance 2349 specifying how medicinal marijuana (MMJ) has become our community’s latest cause celebre and also the casus belli between the pro and anti Measure S factions.  Measure S is a public initiative on the November ballot to replace the current 2349.  Both S and 2349…

  • Ruminations – 23sep14

    George Rebane The ISIS fatwa urging all Muslims in the world to ‘kill ‘em wherever you find ‘em’ is finally starting to cause some serious concerns among western leaders.  The news services are reporting frustrating communiques being issued by presidents, prime ministers, intelligence service heads, and national police forces.  The problem comes with the radicalized…

  • A Nation in Denial

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 19 September 2014.] Are we in information overload?  It’s hard to think back to a time when Americans have been in such deep denial about so many things going on in the world – both here and abroad.  When I begin…

  • Marijuana Ordinance Utility/Criteria

    George Rebane In the comment stream to ‘Medical Marijuana Cultivation Initiative’ I suggested that a better marijuana ordinance for Nevada County should be developed through a more systematic process starting with laying out what are the criteria that the provisions of such an ordinance should satisfy.  A collection of such criteria are also known as…

  • While Waiting for a Backbone (updated 12sep14)

    George Rebane We anxiously await President Obama’s foreign policy speech tomorrow in which he will again make “perfectly clear” a strategy with which no one, and I do mean NO ONE, in the world has seen as anything but meak, muddled, or missing.  RR is on record as one of the earliest to recognize that…
