  • Musings on Money and Faith

    George Rebane [I have to begin this ramble with an apology.  It is long and not as tightly written and dense as the prose you have come to expect here 😉  I’m really posting it as a future reference for discussing the fiscal fiascos spreading over Europe and starting here at a capitol near you.]…

  • California Insanities #41,657 – Baby sitting bill (addended)

    George Rebane If it weren’t really happening, no one would believe it.  Well, actually a progressive would readily believe and promote it since they’re doing it now.  According to our Senator Doug LaMalfa, the idiots in Sacramento are pushing through a law (AB889) that would essentially do away with another job category in California, and…

  • ‘Sunk Costs Don’t Count’

    George Rebane This is a truism in the world of financial decision making, why?  Because sunk costs are just that, irretrievable.  So any decisions about what to do in the future should only consider costs that you have yet to incur; in short, things you can still influence. How many times in political debates have…

  • Back from Idaho

    George Rebane Jo Ann and I just got back from Kellogg, Idaho with our brand new GMC 2500HD pick-up truck.  We flew up on Sunday, the trip through Seattle took all day because both of our airplanes had mechanical problems.  It was already dark when we landed in Spokane.  Snow covered most of eastern Washington,…

  • We’re doing our part (updated)

    George Rebane   Looking at the above chart should make all of us, conservatives and progressives, feel proud that we in Nevada County are not contributing much to the national debt burden.  In a year and half, we have only been given a skosh more than $1.5M of the American Redistribution and Re-election Act money. …

  • ‘The Case for Socialism’

    George Rebane The titled piece on the socialist website truthout.com seeks to dispel the notion that Obama is a socialist.  It touts a book on socialism as the answer to capitalism, and true to form, provides the following as its most penetrating argument against the assertions that Obama is a socialist. That these assertions are insane…

  • FIREARMS REFRESHER COURSE (updated 11mar2010)

    George Rebane The Supreme Court is hearing a landmark gun rights case (here).  I have lived when and where citizens were denied the right to bear arms – it was not a good time or place for humanity.  Therefore, I have little patience for people espousing restrictive gun control theories.  A measure of a person’s…

  • Ruminations – 14feb2010

    George Rebane ** A reader sent this unfortunate yet revealing picture from the Oval Office.   ** The progressive readers of my 13feb2010 Union column demonstrate again the two worlds we live in.  From their media sources they reveal a total ignorance of and rage against the relevant debt numbers that impact our daily lives while…

  • Packin’ Heat

    George Rebane Our friends at the CABPRO Report published ‘A Novel Idea. Register non-gun owners’, a report on the latest 2nd Amendment doings in Vermont.  Well, there’s more to be said about that. We recall that our collectivist friends (currently again calling themselves ‘progressives’) firmly believe that all power grows out of the barrel of a…
