  • A Peek at Our Local Democrats

    George Rebane It’s always good to see and attempt to understand how the local left views the world and, more importantly, things around our neck of the woods.  This is part and parcel of the RR policy to bring you news from across no-man’s land untrammeled by my views.  Here is the June newsletter of the Nevada…

  • The Liberal Fear of Gaia

    George Rebane Russ Steele and I are a constant thorn in the side of local liberals.  Yesterday Russ addressed the ad hominem vitriol that comes from our neighbors on the left (here and here), and again raised some excellent points on the reception of our writings and ruminations.  As Russ points out, the overwhelming feedback…

  • Our Problems are Solved

    George Rebane Good news comes again from Europe according to a Reuters and a Guardian.com report from Berlin (thanks to an RR reader for this).  It is of a piece for our socialist leaders in Washington who have had a keen eye on all the advances made by our friends across the pond.  We will simply…

  • God Bless America!

    Happy Fourth dear friends and readers.  We're in soCal this weekend with our Southern Tribe.  But to get the flavor of our annual 4th of July parade, please visit my pal Russ Steele's NC Media Watch for pictures and a report.

  • Pork and More Pork (updated 4 July 2010)

    George Rebane Why is it that the House is trying to pack the latest mid-east war funding bill with added pork and other issues?  There would be instant bi-partisan support for a ‘clean bill’, but the progressives are willing to spend whatever time it takes to pass a padded bill, and get it through Congress…

  • Ruminations – 26jun2010 (updated)

    George Rebane “Never seek justice, only mercy.” Coach Dick Beede - NRA’s deal with the devil- Secular Islam censoring ‘anti-Islam’ search engines- McChrystal’s substance starting to seep- Barry Pruett starts blogging The latest progressive assault on First Amendment rights is in full swing with Charlie Schumer et al leading the way with the ‘Disclose Act’ that would require advocacy…

  • Economic Enlightenment

    George Rebane A lot of the ideological dust ups, both locally and nationally, involve understanding and interpreting some pretty fundamental economic factors.  Zeljka Buturovic and Daniel B. Klein published research (‘Economic Enlightenment in Relation to College-going, Ideology, and Other Variables: A Zogby Survey’) of Americans based on a survey of over four thousand American adults…

  • ERC Makes It Happen Again

    George Rebane This morning you could not find a parking place within a quarter mile of the Holiday Inn Express in Grass Valley.  The event was the Small Business & Entrepreneur Seminar sponsored by our very own Economic Resource Council.  Speaking to an SRO assembly of small business owners, entrepreneurs, and those thinking about sticking…

  • Ruminations – 22jun2010

    George Rebane Lamphier and Diaz victories Smart meters and robots Overseas Contingency Operations Time to blow the well from hell? I guess if The Union says it’s so, it must be so.  Terry Lamphier’s victory over incumbent John Spencer for District #3 county supervisor was a most curious display of self-interest by the voters.  It wasn’t…

  • 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…
