  • A Postscript for the IRS

    George Rebane In my long career I have experienced uncounted communications with the IRS in the corporate world, through the non-profits seeking to do good, and on personal tax matters.  Now, it’s no secret that the IRS is populated with some of the dimmest and nastiest bulbs in the federal firmament who have no idea…

  • Administrivia – 25mar12

    George Rebane Dear Readers, I have returned from a two week sojourn to warmer climes.  Great times, many insights, and good conversations with new people, but lousy connectivity in the RV parks where we parked our little trailer – reliable wi-fi seems to be climbing the same slow ladder of availability that phones experienced a…

  • An Ideal Politician

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 9 March 2012.] If you were to spell out some attributes of an ideal and laudable politician, what would they be?  I’ve thought about this for some time now, especially as these attributes might apply to the local and statewide people we…

  • Wood fires (updated 29sep16)

    George Rebane We have always had lots of firewood and kept a fire going in the fireplace most of the year.  As a camper and backpacker, I have made a fire or two in the woods over the decades.  And I've often been asked about how I build and maintain a reliable and long-burning wood…

  • Christmas 2011

    George Rebane [This message was first posted on Christmas Eve 2009.] The two main events in the Christian calendar are celebrations of the Promise and the Fulfillment.  Christmas calls on us to reflect on the Promise delivered – the arrival of Emmanuel, God with us, that made real what had long been promised.  By His…

  • Administrivia – TypePad is sick

    George Rebane Dear Readers – TypePad, the server of RR, is beset with many problems as it has now made some of them known to its subscribers.  They promise that they are diligently working to bring things back to normal.  We shall see. In the interval, some readers notice that there is no comment box…

  • Administrivia – RR hacked

    George Rebane Recently RR has been getting more and more spam comments from surreptitious merchants and other low-lifes.  I understand this often happens when a blog starts generating good numbers.  It takes some doing every morning to clean them out.  I'm not sure what to do about it but I have pulled the switch on…

  • Bob Crabb Nails Christmas

    [This cartoon by Nevada County’s irreverent interpreter of all things human and RR regular, RL ‘Bob’ Crabb, appears in its usual slot on the Tuesday opinion page in the 13dec11 Union (here).  I just had to filch it for readers who might otherwise have missed this precise pique through the heart of the perennial political…

  • ‘Tis the politically directed shopping season

    George Rebane A correspondent sent me the following information about which retailers support which political parties in the country.  You wouldn’t want to shop in the wrong place now would you?  Brought to you in the spirit of the season as a dispute-free and modest public service. With the holidays upon us, we might wish…

  • Happy Thanksgiving 2011

    ‘Thank you God for this day, and for this food.’Traditional Rebane family grace.
