That's beautiful. But the Mickey Mouse shape on the left side of the last picture really creeps me out.

Yeah, he probably should come out and say that. He has done that through his spokesmen. But in his mind he is "adding credibility" to the argument if he personally responds to the AWOL issue.

You are right. I give up. There is NOT ONE SHREAD OF EVIDENCE THAT HE WAS IN THE NATIONAL GUARD. The Smoking Gun More Unproof

My whole theory has just been blown.

I don't think you'll admit to hatred of Bush. But you act like you hate him. There are things I'd do differently if I were President. I like Bush more than Kerry. But I don't think either of them are perfect. In fact, I'd vote for Edwards if he were the Presidential candidate.

Thank you for proving the "hate Bush" argument. However, just because I accuse others of hating Bush doesn't mean I love him. I just like him marginally more than Kerry. I don't like the way Bush has handled a lot of things. He isn't perfect. But that doesn't mean that we have to believe everything that is negative about Bush (or Kerry for that matter). Let's just think critically about these type of things.

It is a beautiful building. Definitely my favorite too.

Look at the difference in signatures. The document on the left was produced by Bush years ago. The document on the right is a signature that surfaced a few days ago.

ABC News -- Bush Documents May Be Forged Washington Post -- Experts Say Bush Documents Forged ** The memos were written using a proportional typeface, where letters take up variable space according to their size, rather than fixed-pitch typeface used on typewriters, where each letter is allotted the same space. Proportional typefaces are available only on computers or on very high-end typewriters that were unlikely to be used by the National Guard. ** The memos include superscript, i.e. the "th" in "187th" appears above the line in a smaller font. Superscript was not available on typewriters. ** The memos included "curly" apostrophes rather than straight apostrophes found on typewriters. ** The font used in the memos is Times Roman, which was in use for printing but not in typewriters.

Original document: Microsoft Word document 2004. same words no alterations: Two images superimposed on each other:

The documents he is referring to were released by the "Texans for Truth" campaign. In fact the very first line of this thread reads, "CBS reported Wednesday night that it had obtained personal files from one of Bush's Texas commanders.". Personal files from one of Bush's commanders does not mean from President Bush. It means from one of Bush's commanders! Don't let your hatred for Bush blind your judgment.

Lawyerbot 5000. Now that is funny.

How could old Dave Campbell be THAT wrong?

Plano East is the state's largest high school (5,481 students) At least, that's what Dave Campbell's High School Football report says.

It's about time! I have to walk almost 10 FEET from CVS to CVS. In a few years we'll be able to jump from the Woodlands to Galveston all on top of CVS drugstores.

Old album with Kerry fetches high prices - - - - - - - - - - - - By Michael Hill Sept. 8, 2004 | ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- This could finally be the Electras' breakout year. Rare vinyl copies of their lone 1961 recording are fetching prices north of $2,000, even though the band tended to stray from the beat. Two separate CD versions of that same recording are being sold after some "Behind The Music"-style intra-band squabbling. Of course, it's not musical chops that has renewed interest in this obscure garage rock recording; it's the bassist: Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. "Their enthusiasm is only muted by the fact that they weren't that good," summed up Chuck Miller, an Albany-based columnist for Goldmine magazine who recently bought a slightly scuffed copy of the vinyl album. The Electras were formed in the fall of 1960 at St. Paul's School, a tony private boarding school in Concord, N.H. The band was named for a cool looking Buick -- not the Greek mythological character -- and they played pre-Beatles standards by Eddie Cochran and the Ventures at local school dances. The seven members (with help from their parents) put together about $1,000 to produce their one album in 1961. In a basement music room with a single microphone, the teen rockers ripped through covers including "Summertime Blues" and "Ya Ya." The songs tend to sound like surf music with an overlay of boogie-woogie piano. Most tracks are instrumentals. Careful listeners can pick out the steady thump of Kerry's bass -- nothing fancy, though the liner notes credit him as the "producer of a pulsating rhythm." (The same notes also call the diplomat's son a resident of Oslo, Norway.) "Frankly, I think he and I were probably the best musicians in the band," said Electras pianist Jack Radcliffe, now a Boston-area newspaper editor who still performs as "Ragtime" Jack. "Although his beat wasn't great for a bass player." Kerry left the band after high school, although he reportedly strums the Spanish classical guitar on the campaign trail and is learning to play patriotic nuggets like "This Land is Your Land." Of the 500 albums pressed, the few that have shown up on the market have sold for big money. Miller recently paid $800 to a dealer for a less-than-mint copy that has the name of an old St. Paul's schoolmate inked on the cover. Another copy sold this year for about $2,500, to the amazement of the old band members. "Somebody has to be crazy to pay anything like that for the album," said Larry Rand, the Electras' lead guitarist and vocalist, better known as a constitutional law scholar and semiretired teacher in Connecticut. Rand helped spearhead a remastering of the original tape now available through www.electrasrockandrollband.com for $14. He said the reissue was essentially done as a lark now that his old bandmate is running for president. But Radcliffe, the pianist, balked at the agreement signed by the rest of the band earlier this year, saying the maracas player and the saxophonist were being denied their fair share of proceeds. He noted the saxophonist's image was expunged from the group shot on the Web site. Radcliffe produced an alternate CD for the same price through www.johnkerryandtheelectras.com. He said his version preserves the original album cover artwork, a scrawled line drawing of a generic rock band, and the liner notes. Neither Rand nor Radcliffe have gotten feedback from Kerry about the CDs. Kerry campaign spokeswoman Juanita Scarlett confirmed the candidate has no involvement with the reissues, but added: "It's not surprising that John Kerry's album is a hot commodity now. He's a man of many talents." Rand said the original profit cuts were determined by lawyers based on contributions to the album, but the band members have since decided to share equally seven ways "in the spirit of fairness." Both versions of the CD are attracting sales -- Radcliffe said he has moved about 400 copies, and Rand said he's sold more than 500 -- but interest in Kerry's first band of brothers could really heat up if he becomes the next president. While a lot of presidents played musical instruments -- including Thomas Jefferson (violin), Warren G. Harding (cornet) and Harry Truman (piano) -- a victorious Kerry also would enter the far more exclusive club of presidents who rocked, along with saxophonist Bill Clinton. Rand speaks hopefully of an Electras reunion, maybe at a Kerry inauguration. Miller, who bought the album to include in a record guide he wrote, plans to sell his vinyl copy for a nice profit if Kerry prevails. And if President Bush wins? "It will probably go on my wall," Miller said.

They have "flavored" oxygen in some places. Evidently its supposed to make you feel pretty happy. This "trend" has been going on for more than 10 years in California.

That is insane growth! It must be the crack-coicaine they put in their coffee.

That's beautiful. Modern and majestic.

FLW did bring a completely new style to architecture. He did create something new. However, I'm not a fan of most of his work. The style he created many times looked awkward and uncomfortable. Plus, in his interviews he was condescending. However, some people do still see him as infallible. He was an architect, not a god.

I think it was determined that my mom was not a hooker, she was just a hippie with hairy legs. It still doesn't explain why I was born with VD. But I don't want to get into that.

Hey, Urban, attack the idea not the person. Keep it nice -- especially when you quote the Bible on your signature line. He means that the government needs tax revenue to pay for national security. In order to have more tax revenue the taxes need to expand through higher incomes.

Bush is not running on his war record. Kerry is running on his "war record." They showed video of him in "battle" in Vietnam at the convention. The first lines of his speech were, "Ladies and gentlemen my name is John Kerry and I'm reporting for duty." Kerry "opened the door" to Vietnam by bringing up his service. However, before anyone puts words in my mouth -- I don't think that Bush was AWOL and I don't think that Kerry lied about any medals.
