  • ‘He is Risen!’

        Happy Easter from our family to you and yours. George and Jo Ann

  • The Diaz Case Continues

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my KVMR-FM bi-weekly commentary recorded on 21 April 2011.  I have added a relevant addendum about information from a subsequent conversation I had with a Nevada County staffer.] Not many people have been paying attention to a complicated lawsuit whose defendants include Nevada County, Mr Greg Diaz, its initially…

  • Ruminations – 21apr2011

    George Rebane - No Amber Alert on Missing Refugees- Estonia’s credit rating upgraded ‘Climate Refugees, Not Found’  so headlines the 21apr11 WSJ report on millions of people who have gone missing with nary an Amber Alert issued in their behalf.  The egg just continues to accumulate on the faces of the True Believers, those politically bent devotees…

  • Raising the Debt Limit and Bilge Water (updated)

    George Rebane Just for the record, I don’t want any RR reader to be bamboozled by the bilge water that the administration and Dems are trying to float on raising of the debt limit issue.  The word from the progressives, abetted by Bernanke and Geithner, is that if the debt limit is not raised this…

  • McClintock = Doolittle Redux ??? (updated 14apr2011)

    George Rebane At Tom McClintock’s 22mar11 town hall meeting our congressman 1) acknowledged my characterization of the spending cuts and related continuing resolutions as being insignificant pinpricks on the country’s fiscal gangrene, and 2) politely stated that my assessments were in error. Now that the mother of all CRs, citing $38.5B spending cuts, has been…

  • The Fierce Fight over Flys*#t (updated)

    George Rebane From listening to all the talking heads this weekend going on about the $38.5B spending cuts in the FY2011 budget, we hear that both sides are taking full credit.  And both the Dems and Repubs have declared victory … but over what?? It is clear that the tea parties are the only ones…

  • A Snowball’s Chance in Hell

    George Rebane [This the submitted form of my Union column for April.  It was submitted on 7 April 2011, and could not reflect the yet another “short-term funding measure” agreement reached late Friday 8 April that averted government shutdown as reported here in the WSJ.] The GOP’s federal budget – ‘The Path to Prosperity’ – for…

  • The first realistic budget – hallelujah! (updated 6apr2011)

    George Rebane The House Budget Committee submitted the first federal budget in years to deal with our fiscal crisis.  Under the leadership of Rep Paul Ryan (R-WI) the submitted budget will now have to weather the storms of Democratic opposition, for these are the people who think that liabilities in the tens of trillions will…

  • Supervisor Lamphier Revealed

    George Rebane Nevada County’s recently elected Supervisor Terry Lamphier published an extremely revealing, and therefore, welcome column last Saturday in the 2apr11 Union.  In that short piece (‘Re: It’s Time to Get Serious’, below in blue italics) he did an admirable job of telling readers his perceptions of our economy and understanding of American governance.…

  • As We Kick the Can (updated 3apr2011)

    George Rebane Busy week ahead and spending cuts are on everyone’s mind these days.  Many Americans understand that our country’s fiscal course is taking us to a certified fundamental transformation – national ruin.  There are also a lot of people who see nothing of the sort happening, they believe the current debt and deficits are…
