    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 15 March 2013.] Cardinal of Argentina and Jesuit, Jorge Bergoglio, was elected Pope last Wednesday, the first from the Western Hemisphere to hold the Holy Office of Catholicism.  He chose to be known as Pope Francis (the First), a name that fits…

  • Circus Maximus vs Sequester Minimus (Addended)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my KVMR commentary broadcast on 1 March 2013.] It’s hard to think good thoughts about what is going on in Washington and the competency of our government.  We seem to have entered into an endless sequence of crises, questionable appointments, and scandals which literally have no end –…

  • Two greats take their leave

    George Rebane Contemplate your god or oblivion, for it will reveal that you will never experience mortality, and at least in that sense you are indeed immortal. Concert pianist Van Cliburn is dead at 78.  Cliburn won world fame in 1958 by taking first prize at the first International Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow at…

    George Rebane Last Tuesday night almost 300 Nevada County residents gathered to hear a report from our Congressman Doug LaMalfa, and a presentation by Stewart Rhodes of Oathkeepers in the Grass Valley Veterans Hall presented by CABPRO.  The very stark presentation by Mr Rhodes was on the progress of government overreach and focused much on…

  • State of Union 2013 got a C- or a D (updated)

    George Rebane 12.9M people participated in a new Fox/Microsoft realtime opinion poll taken during President Obama’s speech.  The overall approval rating was broken down by Repub, Indep, Dem declared respondents who watched the speech.  None of the rating traces ever went above the 50% neutral line, but stayed mostly in the 25% to 35% region. …

  • Ruminations – 1feb13

    George Rebane Global blarney.  The IPCC has quietly admitted that its four prime climate change computer models have been overestimating the world’s temperature rises (here and here).  Of course none of these kinds of reports of dubious ‘science’ make any impact on the progressives’ who claim to be champions of science and higher learning.  Their…

  • Black Helicopters over South Houston and Miami

    Smokey the Bear's rules for fire safety – keep it small, keep it in a confined area, and keep an eye on it – apply doubly so to government.
