Subject: Dan Rather forges ahead From: (B2431) Date: 9/12/2004 6:17 PM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: From: (ArtKramr) Date: 9/12/2004 7:15 PM Central Daylight Time Message-id: typical non answer from someone who refuses to respond to questions, who disrespects himself and others, who behaves as a child and breaks his promises. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired What did you say you did in the Air Force? Arthur Kramer Actually I have given you the answer to that at least once before. I don't expect you to admit it since you are not an honourable man. What did you say a neocon is? If you don't know the answer at least be man enough to say so. Dan, U. S. Air Force, retired Typical no answer answer. Bwahaha! Coming from the undisputed and still "King of Refusing to Answer Direct Questions", that is a hoot, Cosmo! What did you say a neocon was again? Ooops--shouldn't have put in that "again", should I? You never answered it the first time...or the second...or the forty-eighth time... At some point you are really gonna have to stop using words you can't understand the meaning of. Brooks Arthur Kramer You mean like the time last week he called clinton a combat veteran for fighting impeachment? He lost that fight. Yeah, Art is sometimes the very embodiment of the "one legged man at an ass kicking contest" characterization. Brooks Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired |

It's astonishing how little play this story is getting. Compare how excited the networks and the newspapers got about Republicans' contributing (oh no!) to the Swifties advertising pot. But here is CBS News, where Walter Cronkite once reigned, peddling forgeries that very likely were created by the Kerry campaign. But when you Google "CBS forgeries", the returns you get are all from second-tier newspapers with Republican proclivities, like the New York Post. Well, Dan, it's not like Cronkite didn't slant the news to fit his political agenda. There was one good story in the Washington Post. (The post, for all its overt partisanship, is a very honest newspaper.) I'd be very grateful if anyone could point me to stories in the New Times or Los Angeles Times, for example. all the best -- Dan Ford |

I suspect he didn't even READ the articles I listed. Art doesn't read anything. If I didn't believe he was actually a qualified B-26 Bombardier I'd suspect he *couldn't* read. BUFDRVR "Stay on the bomb run boys, I'm gonna get those bomb doors open if it harelips everyone on Bear Creek" |

Flynn said it's "very unlikely" that the memos are legit, adding that he knows of no typewriter fonts using proportionally spaced Roman type with a raised "th" available in the 1970s. Come off it, Dan, anyone who used a typewriter knew the trick of lifting the roller a smidge (or lowering it) for sub (or super) script. You must not have ever typed footnotes. The problem is, the superscript in question is in a smaller type, rather than in the same size type as it would be in the example you cite. 8-point vs. 12 point. |

You must not have ever typed footnotes. The issue isn't the raised "th", but the fact that the "th" is written in a smaller font as well. From 1968 on SMC (Smith Corona) typewriters had two optional keyface slots (shift one and shift +) for a number of optional letters, accents and marks. I had section and paragraph marks on mine as I clerked in a law office. "rd" and "nd" superscripts were also available. Did they also offer proportional spacing and intercharacter kerning? |

Well, contemporary to the SCM typewriters above, the IBM Executive models did have proportional spacing and intercharacter kerning. These were typebar models (not typeball like the IBM Selectric) The backspace on the one I used would move 1/5 of the width of the letter "w." I do not know if any of the IBM Executives had something similar to the optional keyspace slots on the SCM. The one I used certainly didn't as I can still remember making section mark symbols with capital 'S,' backspace, backspace, backspace, roll platten down, capital 'S.' Bill Jameson |
