  • The Reverends Beck and Sharpton Hold Meetings

    George Rebane This morning’s gathering at Washington’s Lincoln Memorial was something to behold.  We had breakfast watching C-SPAN’s broadcast of the event that drew somewhere in the neighborhood of 400,000 people.  The occasion was definitely in the style of a revival meeting with unabashed appeals and praises to God and Jesus Christ.  Billed as an…

  • A Sackhead Saga

    George Rebane The comment threads of most online blogs can get pretty nasty and off the point – one part displays the person’s upbringing, and the other his ability to noodle about the subject, even if he’s a she.  Such remarks are fostered by the anonymity of online handles (or nom de screed) which commenters…

  • Duck!

    George Rebane Our sun is going through a gastric upset and belching some pretty big stuff in our direction.  The belches are actually Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) of high densities of charged particles that are many times stronger than the normal solar wind which the sun constantly blows outward.  Most of the solar wind is…

  • Time to Soak the Cannons?

    George Rebane Today we break bread and hoist a glass with friends to celebrate the anniversaries of a number of auspicious events that happened on August 8th.  Among these was America’s signing the UN charter in 1945, and Richard Nixon resigning the Presidency in 1974.  Perhaps not so well known is the Estonian tribes’ victory…

  • Cue the Eternal Emergency (updated 8aug2010)

    George Rebane The $787B, or was it really $868B, stimulus called ARRA has not worked.  No matter the trumpeting from the front door, this is apparent now even to the White House which is conducting backdoor discussions on how to ‘double down’ on the next stimulus that is being cooked up.  We have quietly entered…

  • New Comment Policy on Ruminations

    George Rebane Wow! What a furball we had going on ‘Who is a Racist?’, and then it moved to ‘Stan Meckler Responds’.  My post today ‘The SmartMeter Comes’ was about the advent of PG&E’s new SmartMeter™.  It appears that the brouhaha about Tea Party Patriots doings spread to this post and marbled itself with readers’…

  • Fox News, Oh My!! (updated 23jul2010)

    George Rebane The Shirley Sherrod saga has reached the silly season.  On RR, and probably many other blogs, the howls of how Fox News “snookered” the country and its government into an unjustified termination of the woman from her Dept of Ag job has reached hysteric heights.  The comment threads stand as a permanent witness.…

  • What a day! (updated 22jul2010)

    George Rebane It’s hard to put all this together.  Dept of Ag staffer Ms Sherrod got unjustly condemned by the NAACP, and then fired by the White House after President Obama was briefed on the matter.  Now after looking at NAACP’s full video, everyone rushed to back pedal, apologize, and then Obama ordered her to…

  • Fred and Margie’s Odyssey

    George Rebane Fred and Margie Buhler are established pillars of our community.  They volunteer and serve on boards, commissions, and organizations to the benefit of all who live here.  Recently they took a leave (here) from the Nevada County Friends of the Military, an organization they helped found, packed up their magnificent fifth-wheel, and headed overland…

  • CNN continues as a forum to the ousted …

    George Rebane Everyone who follows what’s happening in the country knows that Mark Williams and the Republican-owned Tea Party Express was ousted from the Tea Party Federation of which the Tea Party Patriots movement is the largest member.  Mark Williams was accused of racist remarks he wrote in response to the recent NAACP resolution about…
