  • Competition or Corrupt Coddling

    George Rebane Even the left-of-center Economist, “the world’s oldest newspaper”, is beginning to see the light as governments take over huge hunks of their countries’ wealth generating capacity.  In its 7-13aug10 issue (‘Leviathan Inc’ and figure) it features a thorough analysis of governments worldwide grabbing control of industry after industry in a hopeless hope to stem…

  • 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…

  • The SmartMeter™ Comes (updated)

    George Rebane The sheeple are quiet and compliant.  But this old gray fox is furious and helpless.  We just got our notice from PG&E saying they are “excited to inform (us) that we’ll soon be installing SmartMeter™ technology” in our neighborhood.  This small piece of hardware will “empower you to take greater control of your…

  • Stan Meckler Responds

    [Stan emailed the following piece to me.  I am posting it with his permission (encouragement actually) in response to the recent comment thread on my 18jul10 'Who is a Racist?' post.] Stan Meckler As you may not know, I do not go to the blogs.  The reason is these people who sit at home and bitch, complain,…

  • Dumb and Dumber 2 (updated 1aug2010)

    George Rebane We really have the dynamic duo of dummies in the White House.  Ol’ Joe Biden has been taking a lot of solo heat for way too long on being the fastest blank shooting lip in Washington.  As RR, other conservative sites, media programs, and published pieces have pointed out for almost two years…

  • Ruminations – 29jul2010 (updated)

    George Rebane Man Bites Dog Story – Of all places, in San Francisco we find Democratic Supervisor Sean Elsbernd challenging the city’s powerful mass transit workers’ union to back off on their contract with the city that is doing its share to wreak financial havoc (here).  This kind of conduct, especially with Mayor Gavin Newsom’s…

  • 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…

  • Rent-a-Government

    George Rebane Hey, it’s the new wave sweeping the country.  More and more cities and counties are hiring out their core services to neighboring jurisdictions and private enterprises.  Most of these measures are driven by runaway public sector compensation packages that the local electeds just let get out of hand, some like Maywood, CA (see…

  • It Ain’t Working

    George Rebane   For more on how all this stimulus is working out see here. 

  • KVMR Conversation – Tea Party Patriots (updated)
