  • Listen up you idiots, … (updated 23jul2011)

    George Rebane [For a translation of the following transcript that’s more suited for polite company, please see the article in the 20jul11 Union.] …, er, I mean all you good citizens and taxpayers of Nevada County.  Since the case is now settled, I’m gonna explain to you how this lawsuit went down, and I’m not…

  • County Dodges AtPac Bullet, but … (updated 20jul2011)

    George Rebane After many months of legal wrangling, internal investigations, external investigation, lawsuit, and God knows what else went on behind closed doors, it appears the AtPac lawsuit (background here) has been settled in favor of AtPac.  This was reported to the Board of Supervisors by County CEO Rick Haffey (here). The bottom line of the…

  • The ‘Foxification of News’

    George Rebane Well, it appears that they have all been doing it, and now are beginning to admit it.  “Foxification” is the term the 9-15jul11 Economist used in its extended report on the future of news to describe news that is delivered with a known slant, commentary, or viewpoint.  (more here) This is nothing new,…

  • Unlimited Debt Musical Chairs (updated 15jul2011)

    George Rebane Our friends on the left are overjoyed with President Obama’s latest gambit to keep the country going toward bankruptcy.  He has floated a hazy vision of $4T spending cuts that comes with at least $1T of tax increases that add on to the $1T tax increases required by Obamacare – our new nationalized…

  • KVMR and Nevada Theater Partnership: 2 + 2 = 5

    George Rebane KVMR-FM and Nevada Theater have come up with a match made in heaven.  This is indeed good news that is a win-win for both organizations and another feather in our community's cultural cap.  (RR readers are aware that I do a bi-weekly radio commentary on this station.)  The press release below tells it…

  • Class Warfare a la Joe the Lip

    George Rebane This Sunday VP Joe Biden was speaking to fellow travelers at a Washington meeting of the National Education Association, the nation’s largest teachers’ union.  He didn’t have to hold back on his deep-seated belief that more socialism is better, and he let it all hang out.  To his audience our Vice President incredulously…

  • Nevada County – A Summer Evening Concert

    George Rebane Say what you will, but them big city folk just don’t know what it is to drive a few minutes, have a good dinner with your sweetie, and then set your bag chairs in front of an impressive little band under the trees and listen to some mighty fine toe tappin’ tunes.  Jo…

  • Tom McClintock Townhall – An Alternative Ignored?

    George Rebane Congressman Tom McClintock is a good man, and a politician Jo Ann and I have supported since our SoCal days.  We continue to support him. Last Thursday night (30jun11) we were in south (Nevada) county attending a townhall meeting with the congressman at a local Lions Club.  The focus of his speech was…

  • Tea Party Patriots welcomed Dr Anna Haynes

    George Rebane This evening Jo Ann and I, along with a neighbor, attended the monthly Nevada County Tea Party Patriots meeting that filled the Easterly Hall of the Nevada County Realtors Association.  We were happy to see Dr Anna Haynes sitting in the throng, listening with great interest to the speakers, and taking notes.  Dr…

  • Ruminations – 29jun2011

    George Rebane MediaMatters.org has declared “war” on Fox News.  This far left organization, one of many such enterprises receiving funds from George Soros, is seeking to squelch speech with which it disagrees.  This type of political action is a common distinguishing feature of progressive tactics drawn from the Saul Alinsky play book Rules for Radicals (1971).  Can you imagine…
