A 1973 IBM Selectric Typewriter Please, show me where the "th" superscript key is?
There are also problems with the paper size, letterhead,
zip codes, terminology, abbreviations, etc.
Be sure to see all the other threads here and on the
SBVFT site.
In a related story, it haas been determined that Dan Rather is really Geraldo Rivera's father...(like son, like father...)
When I worked for the Dept. of the Navy (1983) my first task was to write technical software documentation. My boss orginally wanted me to write it long hand, hand it off to a secretary to type, and then back to me to review/correct. Since I type 1.6B words a minute I said no effin way and that if they didn't get me a computer to do it on, I would quit. They ended up spending around $10K on a Heath/Zenith Z-100 (CP/M based) for the word processing. Good thing too, since the document ended up being 400 pages.
What I'm getting at is that the gov't spending the money on the Selectrics is not really far fetched.
The MSM just can't get away with their crap anymore, and it must be tearing them up inside (tee hee).
Oh man, if this could only be proven.
Did Rather at any time claim that these documents were created on the dates stated thereon?
I smell a skunk.
Ever notice how the left has no problem getting ahold of government files, whether these are forged or not? And notice no one ever goes to prison for it?
Ya know, the typewriters of that period that the govt used were IBM Selectrics. And the type of the day was either pica (10 space) or elite (12 space).

No.
Pan Blather came out of an
insufficiently aborted womb
DUPED.
Oh, dear. Did I write that? Shame!
Uhhhh, let me rewrite that . . .
Pan Blather was born that way. There. That's enough.

Watch Your Six
Watch Your Six is the term used by military aviators of which CoverYourAss (CYA) is the civilian analog. I put it in as a euphemism for such things as CYA, which is the motivation for things like PearlHarborFile(s). The issue is that when you are directed to do stupid things, you need to be sure that the system isn't setting you up as the fall guy. GetItInWriting is probably one of the related ideas. BlowingTheWhistle is a nice strategy, but tends to shorten your employment and make you unemployable to boot. So the next best thing is to make it obviously dangerous to make you the fall-guy so that such predators will search elsewhere for targets. If this sounds cynical, I've got a lot of experience watching the unscrupulous prey on the unwary. CaveatEmptor is good advice in all domains. -- RaySchneider
So military aviators would not use a term like "CYA", but "Watch Your Six" instead?

For me, Dan Rather lost the little credibilty he had left during election night 2000 when he was obviously trashed. My friend worked at a local CBS affiliate at the time and they were so embarassed by the drunken fool that they switched to CNN for most of the coverage.
