Maybe I can sweet-talk my husband into doing it -- I don't have the car this week. What should we look for?
Thanks.
How did Buckhead survive his undergraduate years at Brown University? He must have been one lonesome dude.
Not only a federal judgeship -- I do hope he'd replace Mrs. Eddie Rendell, the $1.5 million dollar Apellate Judge -- but a few contracts with Big Oil and Haliburton too -- just to salt his larder.
But he works for Womble, Carlyle, et al? Huge Dem supporters. Go figure.
I, too, argued that proportional fonts existed.
The convincing evidence for me was, the blacked out address, the "CYA" and the exact spacing match to an MS Word document (even if it was possible to match the spacing, the odds were not in its favour).
The universities and the MSM don't even make a weak attempt to put any checks in place. If they would at least hire conservatives, to work side-by-side with their liberal staff, then perhaps they would be able to join us in the New Era of Credibility.
Remember to keep your bullets in the front pocket.
It's become almost a hobby with me, the idea that the more militantly activist you get the more nuts you go, the more selectively you filter the input of your senses to the point of forming an impenetrable delusional system, and the more you imagine yourself ordained and compelled to lie, cheat, steal, kill, whatever. Dan Rather's newscasts have the integrity of a pamphlet proving the Earth is 6000 years young and all geology is wrong, or an article announcing that the UFOs landed at Roswell and are controlling the governments of the Earth but it's being hushed up to avoid a panic.
Two glasses of merlot last night and I flub that.
These people really believe us 'normal' folks are not capable of critical thinking. It would interesting to research big stories the MSM has broken in the past and see what the outcome would be nowadays. They thought they'd get away with this easy...twice. What have they done, that up to this point, they've passed as legitimate news?
There was the small matter of 13 point line spacing.
I once wrote a program to create facimile forms on a HP laser printer from a COBOL mainframe program. Some of the form was filled in from a database, but the company that used the form wanted to be able to complete it in a typewriter. Every blank and every box had to line up perfectly with typewriter spacing and line feeds. There were no 13 point lines.
>>>Why the hell are these media morons writing as if you need some sort of twenty year certification course to determine that these look like obvious forgeries?
Someone here pointed out that this amounts to an admission of total incompetence on the part of any print media morons making such statements in their reporting on this story. When your business is printed words on paper, Buckhead's observation is really pretty obvious. I know when I read #47 that night, I though "dang, I should have noticed that!", and I'm certainly no "document forgery expert".
And one in the chamber?

Yesterday, September 18th L.A. Times, had a half page article titled "GOP Activist Made Allegations on CBS Memos" and subtitled "An Atlanta lawyer who helped get Clinton disbarred is the blogger who called them fakes."
By and large it was a list of facts with the implication that his blowing the whistle so fast and being a conservative activist are good arguments for this being "engineered by Repubicans eager to undermine reports that Bush received preferential treatment in the Texas Air National Guard..."
At the end of the article, if you're willing to slough through 35 paragraphs of disclosures, someone who knows him says, "...and so rather than being a matter of conspiracy, it's just him doing what he does."
They've been twisting the news for so long, they don't know how to stop. They continue to lie, when the truth would serve them better. Morons.
Hey, the louder they squeal and the more names they call him, the more he knows he's stuck them where it REALLY hurts.
I wish you people would quit trying to get him appointed to the Supreme Crotch, though. He'd have to sit there and look at that Ginsberg thing. I wouldn't wish THAT on a *friend*...
It must feel great to be be able to tell all the LW naysayers, told ya so. I suspect that once all the hubbub dies down you will be able to relax, after the election of course, an reaqlly take a hard look bak at what happened.
I think a book by you documenting the CBS/Rathergate story would be a bestseller.
