I can find no flaws in your logic.
Also, Google shows that Igore made frequent use of the term "Sugarcoat".
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this guy may be a HUGE advocate of homosexual adoption. He is an adoption attorney and he lectures about "adoption issues".
I didn't realize Teddy was still on the air. Is the convicted felon tommy burnett(sp?), good dem you know, still there?
You may very well be on to something.
Let's take a little peek at a virtual video lecture he plans to present to (some? all?) children in Tennessee grades 6-12 on October 12.

Note: Totals include other drugs not specified above. More than one drug may be mentioned for each emergency department episode; therefore, the total number of drug mentions exceeds the total number of drug episodes. A drug mention refers to a substance that was recorded during a drug-related episode (an emergency department visit). Data from 1994 to 2000 were revised in the 2001 DAWN ED report; therefore, reports previous to 2001 may indicate differing numbers. Source: Drug Abuse Warning Network. |
As one can clearly see from the chart above ( http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/publications/factsht/druguse/ ) cocaine use has been generally on a climb since 1978.
Graphing the above chart gives us a better idea on the use of cocaine use in the U.S. If one were to simply eyeball the following (Fig-1) graph of the above data, you would clearly come to the conclusion that cocaine use was not a factor in 1972.
Figure-1
In fact, linear regression analysis (Fig 2) shows that in 1972 it would be below zero, a case that must be thrown out since it is absurd, but it highly suggests that use of this drug on a recreational basis as is being charged was NIL in 1972.
In short there was absolutely NO REASON at all for the Air National Guard to implement expensive drug testing in 1972.
Found you!
Look at this quote from Knox:
"He did have complaints about Bush. Bush missed his physical and went off to Alabama with none of the paperwork, I remember Killian talking about that," Knox said. "But it wasn't in memo file."

Are we being thrown a bone here? I mean, BobKrumm registered and posted this just yesterday.

His credentials seem to be excellent as witnessed in this post

You mentioned that Bob is a good friend. Do we need to take what he has given us and run with it. If so, lead the way. Ill follow.
I have to laugh at your name. In Seneca Falls, NY, there used to be a bar called Filthy McNasty's. Any relation??? (smile)
Nope, 'fraid not. I thought it was unique, but I'm often ask if there's a connection to one thing or another.
Thanks for asking.

Using the technology for drug testing available in 1972-1973, anyone who wanted to pass a test for cocaine or speed simply had to abstain for 72 hours or less.
