  • Healthcare on a Leftwing and a Prayer

    George Rebane My email this morning contained an “open letter” by local resident Michael Anderson to the Tea Party Patriot leadership.  It was published in Jeff Pelline’s blog and sent to me by the ‘duty reader’ of Jeff’s output.  Michael excoriates the policies and efforts of the TPP and the Republicans in Congress to roll…

  • Bet You Didn’t Know About this Tax

    George Rebane This year I promised to write more stuff on technology and finances.  In the winter I also start writing the year’s TechTest2011 which will be taken in the spring by a select cadre of Nevada County’s high school seniors and juniors.  Reviewing some of the problems from previous TTs, I came upon one…

  • Dan Logue at CABPRO Dinner

    George Rebane Last night at Penny’s Diner CABPRO put on a fine feed to a full house that featured our Assemblyman Dan Logue as guest speaker.  The event was hosted by CABPRO’s executive director Martin Light.  In attendance were all the usual conservative suspects from our community and parts nearby (a few of them pictured…

  • Bob Crabb Paints With a Broad Brush

    George Rebane RL ‘Bob’ Crabb, Nevada County’s keen observer of foibles and follies, has taken the local blogosphere to task.  His cartoon below appeared in the 15jan11 issue of The Union where he holds the chair as the newspaper’s regular apolitical cartoonist.  A compendium of his work was recently published in Once Upon a Village…

  • Politically Endorsed Science (updated 11jan2011)

    George Rebane The newly proposed lecture series ‘What’s Next in Science?’ is causing a dust-up in the local blogs, and as a former scientist who has worked on the frontiers of knowledge, I should weigh in.  At issue is how the Nevada County Board of Supervisors should respond to the lecture series that is being…

  • Keep Your Eye on Europe (updated 9jan2011)

    George Rebane [This is my regular column published in 8jan11 issue of The Union.  Its online edition can be accessed here.] This promises to be the year of fiscal pyrotechnics from Sacramento to Washington to Berlin.  The socialists worldwide are in terminal denial of what earthquakes for the coming months their perennial spending programs have…

  • County fails to deliver Diaz documents – cost $20,250? (updated 21dec2010)

    George Rebane My sources tell me that – “On December 9, 2010, Magistrate Kimberly Mueller ordered Nevada County to reimburse AtPac for fees incurred in the amount of $20,250 for failing to produce documents as required by law. Magistrate Mueller found that AtPac was diligent in its attempts to obtain the documents, but that Nevada…

  • RR joins Sacramento Connect

    George Rebane Last week I received a kind invitation from Sacramento Connect (logo nearby) to have Ruminations join Sacramento Bee’s network of northern California blogs.  After making sure I understood the agreement that goes with such a relationship, I accepted and got busy doing all the ‘paperwork’ and installing the little pop-up toolbar that the member…

  • Ruminations – 10dec2010

    George Rebane Yes, the ‘rich’ can pay more taxes.  But when you make them do that, they will make fewer wealth generating decisions and take the attendant risks that make those increased government revenues possible. - British students riot for more OPM- The religious give more than the irreligious- Nevada City protects its downtown businesses- Where to put the…

  • 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…
