    George Rebane The local League of Women Voters presented a get together on ‘Fake News’ at Sierra College last night.  It featured Brooke Binkowski, Managing Editor of snopes.com and Randall ‘Fink’ Finkelstein, NC Scooper editor, both supposed experts on the topic.  It was a real jaw dropper.  Jo Ann and I had never attended a…

  • When disaster is certain, who pays? (codas added)

    George Rebane Every time I look at the news of floods, fires, earthquakes, and other large and predictable emergencies, the notion that the rest of us have to pay to make whole those who knowingly take those risks rubs me the wrong way.  I lived most of my life in SoCal, one of the world’s…

  • Scattershots – 8jul17 (updated 9jul17)

    George Rebane Have you heard anything about disgruntled and terminally progressive EPA employees having a tough time finding new jobs as they seek to leave an agency that is finally coming under some adult supervision?  Well, neither have many of us.  But it turns out that many of the bleeding hearts in the agency who…
