  • Are the Primaries Over Yet?

    George Rebane Terry Lamphier’s supervisorial victory, announced yesterday, anticipates the closing bell for Round One in this mid-term election year.  We supported Terry’s opponent, incumbent John Spencer.  We also supported Barry Pruett for Clerk-Recorder who lost to incumbent Greg Diaz.  And there’s probably more to be said about that race.  I hope all the irregularities…

  • Ruminations – 15jun2010

    George rebane – Bob Crabb’s new book– Republican Women’s luncheon – Sheriff Royal– WSJ Lieberaman article – war on terror– The old guys celebrate the young     Nevada County’s own socio-political cartoonist extraordinaire and author, RL ‘Bob’ Crabb is coming out with a brand new book of his cartoons.  An example of gentle persuasion in an horticultural format is…

  • 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…

  • Same ol’ same ol’

    George Rebane As you can see, we in Nevada County are still doing our part to hold down the deficit.  What about you guys where you live?

  • 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…

  • Congress, the Hurdle to Recovery

    George Rebane   Rahm Emmanuel is not the only one who does not want to waste a good crisis.  Businesses across the country have attempted to use this recession like no other one to get rid of deadwood employees and reconfigure themselves to be more competitive in the marketplace.  With galloping technology allowing fewer people…

  • Friday’s Federal Fiscal Follies

    George Rebane The growth of central government is now at a gallop.  Anti-capitalism that was rampant is accelerating even more.  Some of us are quietly observing the anniversary of the arbitrary abrogation of contract law when Obama took over Chrysler and gave all its corporate bondholders a haircut.  For those not familiar with lending money…

  • Ruminations – 29may2010

    George Rebane – Countywide election of BoS and Planning Commission– Sestak imbroglio– Markey on NPR blames Bush for Oil Spill– US Money Supply, Constitution and the Dollar This morning’s emails contained a heads-up that the blinding light of morality and justice has again been shined on my bald noggin – well actually on Jo Ann, but then we fly…
