I went to Dish four years ago this spring to get FoxNews.
Many of the new developments in N. California aren't putting in Cable. They just have outlets in the house. Then Dish or Direct Tv can be installed for free and a better deal $ wise for the new home owners.
The Dish is what they ended up getting...we have "discussions" every other day or so about current events. I keep him updated about what's happening on the net, printing the most pertinent articles, funny things I think he'd like...mail them out every 2nd day or so. He's the most staunch Bush supporter. I've never met a man so devoted to this country.
LOL! Good work, crushelits .....
I wrote a fair share of personnel-file fodder in '81 and '82.
I never even took a scrap of it out of the office - not even when I cleaned out my desk.

There is NO doubt ::: these ARE FORGERIES generated by Microsoft Word.
I would love to see to whom the copier belongs to that "aged" them, and whose fingerprints are on these.

Now I wonder if this where some of these lunatic libs are coming up with this nonsense about impeaching the President after he's re-elected??
Ben Barnes is also lobbyist for American Airlines (in addition to being National Vice Chair of Kerry Campaign and Kerry's third highest fundraiser.)
Better check the Chicago and Florida voter rolls for Jerry Killian, registered as Democrat. Dead men tell no tales but they certainly vote Democrat!
Well -- I wish I could say for sure that I think it's a fraud.
If you go to Findlaw, you can get a copy of the memo or memos for yourself -- either .pdf for .gif files.
Get the one for 04May72, and blow it up to about 200% on your screen. See if you think a computer printer made that document. I don't believe it did -- it is too imperfect to have been done on a puter. It looks exactly like what an impact printer whacks into paper. I mean, every single character on it would have to have been a custom-drawn graphic to make it on a puter.
Beside that, the admin doesn't seem to be doing anything to refute the memos. Which is kinda hard to understand; they could kill multiple enemies with one blow by quickly demonstrating that they are fraudulent. CBS presumably has the originals -- a forensics lab could easily tell how old they are, if the ink was modern, etc.
Like they say, any time you spend defending, you are losing -- they need to quash this quickly.
There are two polls on the subject on CNN.

Do you think the recently released memos on President Bush's National Guard service are authentic?

If you are so inclined, CNN needs a little FR power!

Whoops....that means he's a Dem
You're awesome!
In the 1970's, I used IBM executive type electric typewriter with variable type. The elements I am aware of were prestige elite (serifs), courier (sans serif), and italics. I had to roll the platen manually to make superscript numbers for footnotes. It was very difficult to make two superscripts next to each other. I was only aware of 12 and 10 point fonts. 14 or 16 point fonts would have been necessary to make small superscripts as I've seen in pics of the bogus documents. I am not aware of the availability of those size fonts.
Keep up the great sleuthing!
I remember in typing class the steps involved in centering text on the page. First you'd count up the letters on the line, divide by two, tab to the center of the page, then backspace that number of letters and begin typing.
Now, try to imagine doing this when each letter takes up a different amount of space, and have it all come out perfectly.
A fellow Freeper said he'd rather poke his eyes out with sticks than try to do manual centering on a proportional-spacing typewriter, and I tend to agree with that sentiment.
It's amazing what we take for granted thanks to Bill Gates.
The IBM Executive has been conclusively ruled out in other threads. 1. The font here wasn't available on typewriters back then, incl. the Executive. 2. The fonts here are kerned - not possible then. 3. There is proportional line spacing here, also not possible then. 4. The overlays ...
The story is now wheeling from whether they are forgeries to whodunit.
