  • Ruminations – 8mar16

    George Rebane Lord Keynes famously asked a critical journalist, 'When I get new information, I change my mind.  What do you do?'  Rebane Rule – A politician 'flipping' his views is welcome only when accompanied by what new information was received when which then caused the change. The Union has invited Ms Hilary Hodge to be their new liberal columnist.  Ms…

  • Dr Hauck Responds – for the record

    George Rebane Today The Union published the following letter as the latest chapter in what appears to be an ongoing dialogue between Dr Paul D.

  • Measure W – MMJ Confusion and Hysteria

    George Rebane Today’s Union published a front page report (here) on the latest phase of “outrage” from the pro-grow faction in Nevada County.  According to the report, the latest to be outraged is the father of an eight-year-old boy with “intractable epilepsy” who is being helped by imbibing MMJ in some unknown form.  In any…

  • Response to Jim Hemig (updated 27feb16)

    George Rebane Yesterday I responded to Union publisher Jim Hemig on his ‘January challenge’ editorial about the NCRWF’s ongoing ideology audit of the newspaper’s op/ed items.  Mr Hemig’s challenge was accepted by two respondents – a liberal lady and Jo Ann Rebane, my wife who is the NCRWF auditor.  Mr Hemig waxed philosophical about The…

  • Bob Crabb, Mardi Gras Grand Marshal!

  • Responding to Paul D. Hauck (updated 17feb16)

    George Rebane Scientism – the misuse of science-like arguments to prop up unfounded propositions, policies, and propaganda.

  • Reinette on Voting

    A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be. Thomas Jefferson George Rebane For those new to Nevada County our Ms Reinette Senum (pictured) needs a bit of an introduction.

  • Ruminations – 25jan16 (updated 29jan16)

    George Rebane A couple of quick points to which we’ll add later. Hillary in an orange jumpsuit?  That was never supposed to happen if we recall our liberal cadres here assuring us that her email imbroglio was a baseless Republican dust devil that would soon be forgotten.  At a lunch today with people who have…
