    George Rebane Ms Mary D. Nichols, chair of the California Air Resources Board, came to Nevada City tonight to speak to us about AB32.  To a full city council chamber the lady calmly laid out the regulatory program that still awaits us should Prop23 fail to halt the implementation of the rest of California’s demonstration…

  • Renovating Ruminations

    George Rebane The conservative blogosphere is growing by leaps and bounds.  Recent welcome additions are Todd Juvinall’s Sierra Dragon’s Breath and Mike Sherman RV Nut.  Adding these to the CABPRO Report, Inside NC Politics, NC Tea Party Patriots, and, of course, Russ Steele’s flagship NC Media Watch strikes me as quite an array of local…

  • Knife at a Gunfight

    George Rebane Tonight I ‘discussed’ Prop23 with Steven Frisch on KVMR-FM 89.5.  News director Paul Emery did his best to moderate the forty minute discussion which turned out to be something else.  Steve was in his element and smooth as silk.  I felt like I was pushing a car with three flat tires up a…
