  • Obama’s off and running (updated)

    George Rebane The President’s much trumpeted jobs plan speech came off tonight.  The man has found a new voice that I suspect we’ll be hearing a lot between now and November 2012 – it’s his Right Now! voice that has a new sense of urgency delivered in a brand new timbre. He laid out a…

  • Ruminations – 28aug2011 (updated)

    George Rebane Irene, our second politicized hurricane, has failed to deliver on its pre-show publicity.  With the President rushing back to the White House situation room (shades of 'Dr Strangelove') to direct the national response to the advertised Armageddon Minus One, meanwhile the damn thing up and turns into a big rainstorm.  So there he…

  • Epiphany at Trinity

    George Rebane It was our first solo trip with our ‘new’ trailer.  Jo Ann and I got back from Trinity Lake yesterday afternoon after spending a few days under the trees at Pinewood Cove RV Park.  We are lifelong dirt campers, so talking us into upgrading to a starter trailer wasn’t all that difficult.  It…

  • ‘The Next Grand Minimum’ Launches

    George Rebane Russ Steele, Nevada County blogger extraordinaire, closed down his long running NC Media Watch blog.  He has moved his blogging enterprise to a new blog – 'The Next Grand Minimum' – that was launched today.  In this research and publishing effort he will focus on real climate change backed by science that is…

  • Do Our Schools Really Suck? (Working Title)

    George Rebane I don’t know whether that overstates the case, but in any event it’s not that far off.  Reading this morning’s lead piece ‘STAR tests’  in the 18aug11 Union, I was a little put off by the reporter’s opening attempt at logic. Despite efforts across western Nevada County to improve student test scores, money still matters in…

  • Time at the Tea Party (updated 8aug2011)

    When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the…

  • The Debt Deal – Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained (updated 2aug2011)

    George Rebane Now you’re free to believe that last night’s debt limit deal between the Repubs, Dems, and President is a solution to any of the ills our country faces.  But you would be wrong, because nothing has changed except another little shot of morphine to ease our cancer’s pain. The deal, which may not…

  • Debt Crisis – The knives are still out

    George Rebane This weekend President Obama has told ol’ Harry to cool it and reinserted himself into the debt limit talks.  I think that the tea party message has finally gotten through, though not in its entirety.  Leaked compromises still consist of immediate debt limit increases that won’t be matched by spending cuts until many…

  • CCB Lite passes – 218 to 210 (updated 30jul2011)

    George Rebane Cut, Cap & Balance Lite just passed the House 218 to 210 with no Dems voting for it, and 22 Repubs opposing it.  The tea party backed Repubs came and took the heat to the end, they would not vote for an increase in the debt ceiling.  Why?  Because our continuing to borrow…

  • Norway Terror (updated)

    George Rebane So now Norway has Anders Behring Breivik, its own equivalent of America’s Timothy McVey.  We read that the 32 year old farmer has killed almost one hundred people, personally murdering eighty some by shooting each of them at close range.  He also posted a YouTube video (now removed) of himself declaring his terror…
