  • The New Nevada County Brand – Really! (updated)

    George Rebane Today the Board of Supervisors accepted the proposal by Switchback Public Relations + Marketing Inc to develop a county tourist promo website and spread the word that henceforth the following image will indelibly remind the prospective visitor of Nevada County and its manifest pleasures.  This shall be the case in perpetuity, or until…

  • Russ Steele makes the New York Times

    George Rebane Russ Steele, pre-eminent Nevada County blogger and author of NC Media Watch , was prominently featured in a NYT article about the impact of social media on blogging.  Russ, who has been an inspiration to many of us lesser lights in Nevada County, spoke for those of us who have not chosen to use…

  • Assaulting Public Sector Unions (updated 21feb2011)

    George Rebane The Wisconsin teachers union imbroglio promises to get uglier before it is resolved.  The left is accusing Republicans of launching an “assault on the unions”, as if that were akin to committing some kind of sacrilege.  Given what public sector unions have done to the nation and its several states, it seems appropriate…

  • The Suicide of Jeopardy

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my 18feb11 commentary broadcast bi-weekly on KVMR-FM 89.5.  A related post 'Epochal My Dear Watson' was posted on 17feb11.] We Americans have always loved winners, and see ourselves as winners, especially in this age of universal self-esteem.  Oh yes, there is that phase we sometimes go through when…

    … and they knew not what they had witnessed.

  • Democrats Working on Jobs – Again

    George Rebane Did you catch the latest out of the District of Comedy?  As promised, and for what they were elected, the Congressional Repubs are doing their best to pull back Obamacare and the rest of the $1.5T economic effluent that has flowed out of Washington over the last two plus years.  Every day we…

  • SOTUS 2011 (updated 29jan2011)

    George Rebane The speech was delivered in a workmanlike manner by President Barack Obama, one of the best public speakers in the land.  But its content was so flawed that I thought it best to not say anything at all about it, primarily because it was immediately dissected so assiduously by so many conservative pundits…

  • Seating Assignments

    George Rebane I don’t know about you, but I want Congress to sit as they have been for decades during the President’s State of the Union speech.  This hooey about civility and bi-partisanship is more patronizing of the voting public by the ruling elites.  Most of us know its faulty pedigree from the aftermath of…

  • Dan Logue at CABPRO Dinner

    George Rebane Last night at Penny’s Diner CABPRO put on a fine feed to a full house that featured our Assemblyman Dan Logue as guest speaker.  The event was hosted by CABPRO’s executive director Martin Light.  In attendance were all the usual conservative suspects from our community and parts nearby (a few of them pictured…
