Actually Gunga Dan kinda reminds me of the Black Knight at the bridge in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Black Knight: "I'm INVINCIBLE"!

Arthur's knight: "You're a looney..."

Actually, the typewriter fonts used in the CBS documents existed at the time, but were not commonly used, and certainly not by the Texas Air National Guard, much less by Col Killian, who did not type memos.

Similar fonts existed, but TrueType Times New Roman had not yet been invented.

BTW, does anyone have any quality scans of documents printed in metal-type Times New Roman? I've noticed that in all of the books I've examined that were printed before phototypesetting, the lowercase "f" has a short flag compared with those in more recent texts. I would guess that difference between old and new fonts would exist between the lead and computer versions of Times New Roman, but I'm not positive.

3 - LOL - great, FR exposes the MSM media secret war plans.

Send it to the MSM, and perhaps they will publish this 'secret' document.

1 - Thanks for the excellent post.

"I did my best on editing the html."

sometimes this is really hard, and there is one trick which can sometimes help - copy the story into Notepad Text, and then recopy it and paste it into FR for posting. This will sometimes clean up the strange HTML code.

"Several FReepers in the Pajama Posse"

ROTFL! That's a good one too!

[John Lenin]

I'll try that next time. Here's what I had to deal with.

p> “This should be pursued aggressively.”

That was the first blow, from which all the others followed. Several FReepers in the “Pajama Posse” researched the matter further on a series of threads that night, to be joined by a number of bloggers, among them Ratherbiased.com, PowerLineBlog.com, LittleGreenFootballs.com and Instapundit.com. (The term “blog” derives from “Web log.” I believe “Pajama Posse” is a facetious reference to FReepers who do research on the Internet while in their pajamas.

Love it - saving and printing out. This event is a milestone in our lives. My hat is forever off to those who worked to uncover this and those who supported their efforts. Watching it all unfold that night was watching the birth - nay, the public reawakening of the Silent Majority.

I have broadband.

Which requires a broadband modem. It's that device with blinking lights connected to your computer via an ethernet cable.

And Vanity Fair writer Dominick Dunne said, "I love Dan Rather. I'm so sad for him. I feel sorry for him. I think someone set him up."

Yeah. Must have been that evil Karl Rove. Or was it RogerOliver Stone? Or Scooter Libby? Or my four-year-old?

33 - saving in notepad will cause you to lose your built in links.

However, if they are imperative, another trick, which sometimes (though not always) works, is to save into MS Word (which may preserve the links). Then save as HTML file rather than a doc file. Then reopen it with IExplorer, then do a 'view/source' which will bring up the HTML code text file in. Then copy the HTML text file and paste it into FR.

Much more complicated, and does't always work, but sometimes worth a try.

And Vanity Fair writer...
