  • Returning to KVMR News

    George Rebane [In response to KVMR’s listing of me as their 1apr11 news reporter, I recorded this little number for my regular commentary.  All of it survived to be aired except the last disclaimer.  The station’s news director felt strongly that the commentary was too realistic for a goodly portion of the listening audience, so…

  • A Truce Among Us?

    George Rebane Sierra Business Council President Steven Frisch has proposed a “truce” in the local blogosphere – essentially between what is written on Jeff Pelline’s liberal blog, and on the conservative NC Media Watch and Rebane’s Ruminations.  The main thrust of his proposal is to focus our posted commentaries and comments on the topics of…

  • Lucy, the Trump of Hope

    George Rebane Tonight Jo Ann and I became great-grandparents when granddaughter Claire gave birth to Lucy, a healthy and ready for the world bundle of joy.  Lucy weighed in at 8lbs 15oz and stretched out to 20 inches long.  Mama and baby both did real well and are glad that the hard part of the…

  • Shrugging Atlas is back

    George Rebane Many Americans, I among them, are witnessing our country well along its way into the dystopian nightmare Ayn Rand described in her Atlas Shrugged that came out in 1957.  The book is being reprised in a three part movie, the first of which is slated to open across the country on the auspicious…

  • Congressman McClintock in Colfax (updated 24mar2011)

    George Rebane About 170 of us gathered in the theater of Colfax High School last night for a townhall with Congressman Tom McClintock.  The Congressman started the evening with a PowerPoint detailing the fiscal crisis the country will experience “within five years” unless a radically different course is taken starting now.  There is no more…

  • California’s New Illegal Alien Benefits

    George Rebane We are more than broke, we are almost $30 billion in the hole.  Yet the la-la land left is now pushing through Assemblyman Cedillo's bills AB130 and 131 to mandate that the taxpayers of California guarantee more benefits for the state’s illegal aliens.  With their passage, these fugitives from American justice would receive…

  • Libya – Driving from the Back Seat (updated 21mar2011)

    George Rebane President Obama has made it clear that he wants the Arabs to view the US as being just one of the boys the UN mustered to take on Moammar Gadhafi.  Not only that, but we’re in the back of the pack somewhere right behind the French, Brits, and Italians.  That is our new…

  • Ruminations – 19mar2011

    George Rebane On this gloomy slushy snowy Saturday, we at the Rebane house take any levity-providing-port in a storm.  Didn’t have to wait too long before two qualifying bonmots arrived – one on Fox News and another fortuitous one by email from a regular reader. Turning on the telly during supper – the slush had…

  • Ring of Fire – Are We Next?

    George Rebane It may turn out that the recent Chile, New Zealand, and now Japan earthquakes are related to some greater movement of the whole Pacific system of tectonic plates.  Geologist Jim Berkland has an outstanding record of analysing these patterns and earthquake predictions.  He is talking to Fox's Neil Cavuto about what may be happening…

  • Reliable as clockwork (updated)

    George Rebane   After a brief snowfall, power went out at 1645.  What else would you expect?  I was the first one to call PG&E, and the lady on the other end with a straight face told me that power would be restored at 1930 “subject to change”.  Right.  Happy weekend. [update]  As I have informed you…
