They are. Screw DR.
Yep! I remember them.
Buckhead needs to get back to work! (He actually did pretty good in the Fani Willis disqualification hearing)
Absolute horse spit. Dan Ratheer committed outright fraud as part of an illegal political contribution-in-kind. He and the CBS producers should have been sitting in a prison cell for that collection of crimes and not released until they paid back every penny of such illegal political contributions-in-kind at triple damages.
Dan RaTHer?? Are they serious?
Ugh. Like 70’s weren’t bad enough the first time.
Is it still the same frequency, Kenneth?
No, he never apologized, I definitely would have remembered that.
There was magic in the IBM Selectric II typewriter, with the unique letter ball spinning around perfectly to produce such sharp and concise product while humming so nicely beneath ones hands. I often found typing randomly on it led to a stream that helped overcome writer's block.
But, in the spirit of "If you can't say something nice about someone...", I point out Dan Rather made a series of excellent interviews with legendary musicians that should be seen rather than shunned, as he only interjected to ask them good questions for clarification.
Math is hard for the NYPost. March 2005 was 19, not 18, years ago.
This is something I never brought up over this at the time because I only had partial info on it. Over the years I confired much of it.
Whatever President Bush did or didn’t do, at the time paperwork was of no importance for non career personnel in the ANG. Why? Because of several reasons but the most was that due to downsizing of all services as we were winding things down ready to exit the Vietnam war. The most important thing for all US military branches were keeping and finding room for career personnel. This meant Guard and reserve too. They had to make sure to retain their career minded troops and try to find room for regulars who wanted to stay in the service but had to get out. It was an admin nightmare at the time processing thousands of troops out and doing normal admin functions with less people to do it.
From what I confirmed, at least in the guards for a few years early in the 70s if a guardsman never came back, he might get away with it. I met a couple who did. Both are getting veteran’s benefits. Admin was that chaotic. President Bush got out during this mess.
A Selectric is at the high end of what a military unit in that year would have had.
That document was clearly not created on a fixed pitch Selectric.
Gotcha, thanks. From my time in a high level HQ unit I noticed we were always a year or two behind the civilian world as far as technology - due to the approval and procurement processes and sluggish bureaucracy. Except for the stuff to kill people with.
Pennsylvania Dutch, and several others including “1-5% Jewish”.
I’m Dutch-German (think Pennsylvania Deutsch), Scotts-Irish, and half Austrian.
Three quarters Kraut...
