I agree. What really should happen is that blather should be prosecuted for trying to affect the outcome of a presidential election with falsified documents.

"journalistic ethics" over at CBS

Now there's a triple-play oxymoron!

Pick any two out of the three:
Journalism and Ethics? Oxymoron.
Journalism and CBS? Oxymoron.
Ethics and CBS? Oxymoron.

Yeah...clap,clap,clap...I started a dislike for the guy all the way back in the early 70's when he was the biggest anti-war correspondent going...he had a symbiotic relationship with the likes of Hayden, Fonda and Kerry...good riddance Dan, I know you aren't welcome in Texas, Hollyweird has your retirement pension all ready...

I have a fun idea for grassroots Freeper Parties around the USA on the evening Dan takes his final bow from "CBS Evening News".

Somebody (in your area) volunteer to offer one old TV that is not needed anymore. Somebody else offer to open up your house for the evening.

Invite Freepers over for the fun. Bring chips, beer, soda pop, hotdogs, hamburgers, dip...oh, and yes, ROTTEN TOMATOES.

Throughout the final 30-minute CBS news program we can have plenty of fun, jeers, derision, impersonating him in a mocking way, yelling at the TV, fart noises, and then, right before he signs off, pelt the TV with those ROTTEN TOMATOES. It would be fun if this could happen across the land, and digital photos could be put up. (Of course, it will be the best of Freeper Manners to clean up the mess when the fun is over).

Juvenile, well, maybe, but it sure would relieve 20 years of disgust at that guy.

Yep. DAN RATHER GOOD RIDDANCE PARTIES.

MS Forger

Introducing a new product in our Office line called Microsoft Forger. We have been copying other peoples software ideas for years, so who is better to provide you with a product that imitates other peoples style and signature. Microsoft Forger is the ultimate product for pundit-proof forgery.

Even if you are just getting into forgery or are an old hand, this product will deliver all the power that you need to turn out credible documents with little or no effort.

Just look at some of the incredible features included:

Output machine selection - Select from a variety of emulators for everything from manual typewriters, IBM Selectrics, early model word processors such as Wang and many others.

Font selection - Once you have selected the machine type, font selection is limited to only those fonts actually available for that machine. No longer will you make stupid mistakes like selecting Times New Roman for memorandum that were suppose to be typed on a IBM Selectric.

Proportional fonts and kerning - Again options are limited by machine type

Key emulation - Only those keys actually on the selected machine type are activated. Special features such as subscript and superscript will appear only as that machine would have outputted it. Some extremely amateur forgers have actually used features such as reduced font sized superscript "th" in documents that were suppose to have been from a normal typewriter. Our product will prevent such simple mistakes.

Copy machine emulation - Before you print out your document you can have it automatically appear to have been run through a copy or fax machine multiple times. Lettering will look aged and blurred with random specks according to our specialized algorithm.

Margins and document centering - Each document created is slightly different to account for the non-exact centering of manual machines and the variance of paper feeds. Nobody will be able to overlay your forgery with his own created forgery and have them exactly line up.

Correction emulation - If your output type is for a device such as a typewriter you also need proper correction emulation since these documents were rarely perfect. Special effects such as type over, white out smudges, or coffee stains can be selectively applied.

Signature scanning - Scan in a signature from a record in the public domain and MS Forger will automatically store it in a vector signature file for use in adding to your document. The signature scanner will remove artifacts such as lettering found underneath the signature scan.

Add-Ons - There are many specialized add-ons that can be used depending on your document forgery needs. For a limited time only when you buy Microsoft Forger we will include the Texas National Guard Memorandum (TNGM) add-on for free.

Here are just some of the features of the TNGM add-on.

Military style dates. Date headers are automatically formatted to day - capitalized three letter month - two digit year.
Subject lines. Automatically uppercased as this is the standard for military memorandums.
Rank selector. Select from the service and the rank for the individual who you are forging. This is especially helpful for those who the closes they have been to the military is when they protested outside the gate. Prevents mistakes in the abbreviations used in military rank.
Unit selector. Select from a list of guard units with the option to use their letterhead.
Command database. Our command database includes all officers and the times they served in the Texas National Guard. The selections are limited to the date used at the top of the memorandum. This ensures you won't have the document addressed to someone that had retired a year and a half before your document date.
Accreditation - Our documents have been accredited as undetectable by the National Organization of Forensic Document Examiners. And we are just not talking CBS's hired experts, but ones that can actually detect forged documents.

So if you are a Kerry campaign operative or a CBS intern then this is the program for you.

Way to go Freepers! Way to go Buckhead! Way to go Howlin!

And Dandy Dan says it has nothing to do with the forgeries? What a liar.

He thinks he is saving face by denying it had anything to do with the phony docs. Typical liberal liar in denial.

He ain't foolin' nobody.

And Cronkite is sounding like a loon. It is amazing how the world can change. Rather will not be missed. And what can we do about that other loser from Canada. Is he bullet proof or what?
