    George Rebane The Steeles and the Rebanes were among those invited to the state capitol today to witness the swearing in of the senators newly elected to the California Legislature.  We bundled into Jo Ann’s van and drove through a clearing rain that turned into a beautiful day as we arrived in Sacramento.  We went…

  • The Latest Volley from the Local Left

    George Rebane Yesterday morning, while waiting on PG&E’s ‘extended outage’ line listening to elevator music, I received an email from Russ Steele that contained a copy of the latest effluent directed at me personally by Jeff Pelline and his friend Steven Frisch.  For your edification you can read the original and its comment stream on…

  • Winter Wonder Land

    George Rebane Like many folks in Nevada County last night, Jo Ann and I were listening to the limbs crashing down around our house wondering if the next one would come through the roof.  The wet snowfall – ‘Sierra cement’ – wreaked havoc across the foothills and turned out the lights for most of us…

  • 2010 Bastiat Prizes in Journalism

    “When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion–when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing–when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favours and approvals–when you see that men get richer by…

  • An Evening with Dan and Karl

    George Rebane Last night we attended a reception for re-elected Assemblyman Dan Logue that was held at the Southridge Event Center in Sutter.  The gathering also honored retiring State Senator Sam Aanestad for his years of service.  Sam was presented with a large commemorative resolution that will now grace the wall of his office.  But…

  • California in Iron Lung – Hard Left Unfazed

    George Rebane Last Tuesday’s inland tsunami washed over most of the land without much effect on the coasts.  With its margins of establishment pullback, the voters shouted loudly that the country has been going in a hard left direction under the leadership of hard leftwingers.  This, of course, is something totally invisible to those with a…
