Mitt Romney exposed
George Rebane This arrived in an email from a friend and correspondent. Thought it might be worth rolling an eyeball over. Thoughts? A lot is being said in the media about Mitt Romney not being "likable" or that he doesn't "relate well" to people. Frankly, we struggled to understand why. S...
Comming from a heritage of 'sustained resistance' I find
"10. To bear up under; withstand: HAVE SURVIVED the blistering heat"
to be a closer definition of what it took to build and maintain the lifestyle dictated by my predecessors...

Sustainable Resilience
George Rebane Resiliency has joined sustainability as desirable attributes that are getting a lot of attention these days. It’s always been hard to pin people down on what sustainability means when we talk about conservation and communities, and I don’t think the job will be easier with resilie...
It must be 'new puppy' time as all (about three others) of our friends who suffered recent or near-recent animal losses suddenly found loving replacements... In fact one replaced their lost-George (you can appreciate his name as he was very sweet, large, rescued Rottweiler-Akita mix) with two of the same (Rottweiler mix)very active, large puppies. They too have a cat named Jazzmin who runs the show.... Good fortune (luck). I know Puna will be the seventh star in the Rebane astology of dogs. :)

Our New Puppy
George Rebane Two or so weeks ago we got our new puppy as we arrived home from our granddaughter’s wedding in Denver. We are dog people and we have been without a puppy since our noble Neiu went to her reward over two years ago. It was an ordeal getting this mutt since we don’t fit the usual m...
Why it's a medatative OM state! Unnnnn: I sure didn't vote for him! vs. Ummmm: Where IS my leadership? Or, UnUm, UnUm, It's off to Sacramento We Go...

On Different Worlds
George Rebane To maintain some perspective on the national debates, I regularly read, view, and listen to leftwing media. Debate may be too fine of a word for the type of exchange that today goes on between conservatives and liberals. In fact, we do live on two different worlds. This was aga...
Well sillies... You have to PRINT the $$$ FIRST. Did you apply for your $$$ supply with the Bureau of Printing and Engraving??? Just there! They are printing like mad! Oh! $10,000 for Bank use only.

Song Without Words ... or Money
George Rebane
One could say 'deficits' are the problem in the brains of politicians and the 'national debt' is the reality show!

Of Horsepower and Deficits
George Rebane P.J. O’Rourke wrote a wonderful reprise of America’s love affair with the automobile in yesterday’s (30may09) WSJ – ‘The End of Our Affair’. The WSJ and our local Union are our morning papers that get us through breakfast in the comfortable, old-fashioned format. Jo Ann and I d...
Thank you for saying it so beautifully. AMEN

In Memoriam and Eternal Gratitude
George Rebane Since you gave all, the world was spared and we have reached for stars. Since you gave all, some have not learned, and now apologize for wars. Since you gave all, there still are those who hold with honor no one mars. Since you gave all, we will rebuild America...
A missing factoid... Pelosi rushed the StimPac through Congress unread and Obama allowed (delegated) her to disburse it as it was without oversight. Currently, she is continuously sh0oting herself in the foot trying to keep the Republican Representatives as the house minority (her real job), often to Obama's discomfort as he notes his failed efforts to win Republicans to his (pseudo-bipartisan) way of thinking by inviting their kids to White House BBQ's... Meow!

Again, “Do Nothing … Sooner!”
George Rebane I have cited this advice from Ludwig von Mises since the federal bailouts and stimulus packages started gaining traction. The last post on this was in January, and it generated a reasoned debate between two RR readers. The real objectives of the TARP and ARRA money bags was to ...
Well, the decor of Vintage may have stimulated memories of the 'blue velvet seats' of old. I never imagined these images were bursting for expression and only hope the dinner WAS as good as a sip of pop and a candy bar. I can't wait for the next installment or can I buy the book somewhere?

Sixty Years Ago Today – 4 May 1949
George Rebane At first light on 4 May 1949 the USS General Harry Taylor (above) had already slipped through the Verrazano Narrows by the time my father and I joined the other men and boys on the deck of the troopship. We all wanted to see the Statue of Liberty and the lights of New York tha...
Forwarded to my favorite American... Thanks!
Question: What do we think of our new socialistic MAY DAY news regarding Gittlefinger Motors... The true beginning of the end for free enterprise? 50% government, 40% workers, 10% bondholders. AMERICA WAKE UP!

Nevada County Tea Party Patriots
[gjr - Just received this email from Kim Pruett. The Tea Party movement is alive and well, and we're all still searching for the corporate fatcats who are supposed to be guiding and sponsoring this. If they're out there like the liberals claim, sending a few bucks our way would sure help. Hel...
H1N1... A new, lovely shade of lipstick?

‘H1N1 Influenza A’ nee Swine Flu
George Rebane The medical mavens in Washington and WHO have again renamed the pony (or is it the pig?) in the middle of the stream. Following a week of dubious and hard-to-track reports on the progress of the Mexican flu (another interim politically incorrect name), as of today the disease wi...
