  • 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…

  • Obama Riots – The last full measure of desperation (updated 17oct2011)

    George Rebane As a fresh face in 2008, community organizer, ‘resigned’ lawyer, and sometime senator Barack Obama outspent opponent McCain by $665,000,000 to win the White House.  Most of this advantage was contributed by public service unions.  Given the man’s demonstrated record of incompetence or intention (your pick), stronger medicine is needed for him to…

  • Morally Killing Al-Awlaki (updated 3oct2011)

    George Rebane A lot of people are hyper-ventilating about the CIA’s recent killing of a couple of prime ragheads, Al-Awlaki and his pal Samir Khan.  Both were US citizens when they died from a direct hit by a Hellfire missile.  Both spent a major part of their adult lives in the Al Qaida leadership planning…

  • Another Silly Coincidence, Right?

    George Rebane A correspondent sent me this YouTube video of Idaho House (District 10) representative Curtis Bowers (R) talking about the communist agenda in America.  Apparently his surprising statements got some traction, and a lot of people were riled up about his connecting such dots for an obvious series of coincidences.  Then again, others thought…
