  • AWOL Afghans – not an immigration case

    George Rebane Another major lapse in government competence is demonstrated almost daily.  We, of course, know that what we hear about is just the very tip of the iceberg of incompetence.  It is for this reason RR argues that we should minimize the role of government wherever we can. Now we hear that over the…

  • Re Jeff Pelline – For the Record

    George Rebane RR does its best to avoid referencing the self-aggrandizing postings on Mr Pelline’s blog, nor do I respond to his incessant and ongoing vitriol extended to me personally.  Perhaps the time has come for a short response. This morning I received an email from a reader who sent me the latest example of the…

  • Tea Party Scattershots (edited)

    George Rebane   We attended the little Tea Party Patriots gathering yesterday afternoon in Penn Valley.  As predicted by the lame stream media for such events, we all showed up with our guns and grenades wearing our knuckle pads so they wouldn’t get skinned.  Everybody felt good because they had recent appreciation checks from BP stuffed…

  • Patty Meckler votes in Nevada County

    George Rebane [I had breakfast with Mark and Patty Meckler yesterday.  Mark is one of the two national co-ordinators of the Tea Party Patriots.  The Rebanes are TPP members and supporters.  In our broader conversation Mark and Patty brought up Patty's experience at her polling place Tuesday.  The story was both sad and bizarre, but…

  • Experience Counts

    George Rebane Earlier in the day I heard of the great Nevada County voting machine debacle – apparently they don’t register the paper ballots because all of them were printed with identical registration numbers and no one checked the ballots or the scanning system with the ballots before voting started.  Who knows, there may even…

  • Remembrances of John Wooden – RIP

    George Rebane John Wooden, a gentleman, mentor, and a teacher of character, died today aged 99.  John Wooden was also the legendary basketball coach at my alma mater UCLA, and a man revered by all who were fortunate enough to know him. My high school basketball coach Sy Korach was a friend of John Wooden,…

  • Scattershots – 2jun2010

    George Rebane Minimum wage and American Samoa bailout; Taxpayers bailing out union pensions; David Crane (Arnold’s adviser) – diversify energy sources by diktat; And more … All conservatives and the progressive elite know that the minimum wage is a populist ploy for buying the votes of the ignorant.  Them that use it, get elected.  And them that…

  • Solyndra cum Soylent Green

    George Rebane President Obama’s visit to Fremont’s solar panel maker Solyndra caused a lot of confusion.  Union construction workers at the site were told to take the day off without pay.  And then there are reports that inside the plant non-union workers were similarly told to take the day off.  Apparently this was so as…
