  • Happy Thanksgiving 2011

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

  • Ruminations – 21nov2011

    George Rebane Two prominent Democrat pollsters argue for ‘The Hillary Moment’ in 2012.  They make a compelling case for Reid and Pelosi to pick up the phone and call Obama to ask him to take the Truman/Johnson moral high ground and bow out.  Their well-stated arguments revolve around The Community Organizer’s horrible record in office,…

  • The Congressional Kabuki’s Coming Swansong (updated 21nov2011)

    George Rebane That the congressional super committee was orchestrated to fail from the moment it was commissioned was a known to anyone paying attention (or reading RR).  Now all the talk shows have come to that conclusion after interviewing various stiff-upper-lip members of that dysfunctional dozen. This morning Chris Wallace of Fox News Sunday asked…

  • Van Jones – he’s baaaack! (updated)

    George Rebane We know that this formerly proud communist has been busy since he had to be jettisoned by Team Obama, but all that has been relatively sub-rosa.  Now the newly-minted Marxist in mufti is on his ascent to the top of the pile located somewhere beyond the American Left.  The man again deserves a…

  • A Ray of Hope or …

    George Rebane As an illustration of the public policy stasis that our collectivist brethren always wallow in, the National Space Society will announce today (14nov11) that space solar power (SSP) will be a viable, feasible, and limitless energy source within ten to twenty years.  SSP will beam energy from high orbit solar collectors to anywhere…

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 4 Novemeber 2011.] Greece is the latest socialist country to illustrate the results of not living within its means.  There is a long line of other European countries right behind Greece, ready to follow it off the cliff.  And then there are…

  • Ruminations – 1nov2011 (updated)

    George Rebane California’s carbon calamity is cranking up to full speed, destroying jobs and driving companies to other lands and states.  CARB is now the loose cannon in the state’s economy, putting into full force the dictates of AB32 (q.v.).  Even the unions are screaming about job losses and arguing that California’s carbon tax n’…

  • ‘Streetcar’ in Nevada City

    George Rebane Last Saturday night we went to dinner with friends, and then on to the evening presentation of Tennessee Williams’ classic ‘Streetcar Named Desire’ being performed at the Nevada Theater. There we saw a wonderful production of the dark drama that moved Marlon Brandon from its theater production and gave him his film start…

  • Singularity Debate – Paul Allen vs Ray Kurzweil

    George Rebane This year’s Singularity Summit again brought out leading thinkers and workers on the progress being made toward that momentous fin de siècle of human development and evolution.  The annual conference prompted Paul Allen (Microsoft co-founder) and Mark Greaves to write a strong denial on the prospects of a near-term Singularity (here).  This was…

  • Who are the Occupiers?

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 21 October 2011.  Here I have provided some links to expand the recorded material, and added a recent Ramirez who always summarizes succinctly.] The Occupy Wall Street crowd has taken its template from the street critics of Europe’s socialist countries, and its…
