The IBM Selectric Composer was first marketed in 1966. Here's a link to the manual for that typewriter. It does everything required to make those documents...
-The font to produce those documents for IBM Selectric Composers was called "Aldine Roman." A smaple of that font is available at this link (scroll down)...
http://graphicdesign.sfcc.spokane.cc.wa.us/tutor ia ls/process/type_basics/type_families.htm
-Now, go to page 168 of the manual linked above(173 of the pdf), you'll see that Aldine Roman is available in three sizes: 8, 10, and 12. The superscript "th" is made with the 8-point size element font ball.
-The Air Force tested IBM Selectrics in 1969. Here's the link (scroll down)

The reason the military purchased IBM Selectrics was because 1) It had the ability to "punch through" 6-10 carbon copies. Ask anyone who was in the military at that time about all the carbon copies of documents one had to produce 2) IBM offered the military one time use ribbons that a person could not pull the ribbon and read the documents that had been typed from the ribbon. The ribbons could be either safely thrown away in lower security situations, or burned to destroy in high security work environments.
The documents are real. Anyone with the least bit of knowledge about typewriters and typesetting from that era can glance at the files and see the artifacts of a ribbon transferring ink to the paper in the text of the document. Word Processers are way too uniform in their production of text than these document show.
FOXNEWS called Florida for Bush early in the morning after all the network had awarded Florida to Gore, and then recinded their prediction.
Bush DID NOT win a recount of the entire state of Florida. Bush won automatic recounts of parts of Florida.No recount of the entire state of Florida was ever done. That's what the Florida Supreme Court ordered, and that what the GOP went berserk to have stopped and the 5 republicans on the Supreme Court stopped.
All the news networks called Gore the winner of Florida early on election night 2000 because all the exit polls showed Gore was going to win comfortably.
It wasn't until hours much later when the votes coming in didn't match the exit polling data that Florida was pulled out of the blue column.
And Florida had already allowed ballot counting by different rules when the various ballot counting process had been approved FOR THE FIRST BALLOT COUNT. If what you claim was true, Bush could not have been certified the winner the first time.
The Florida Supreme Court simply order a statewide recount, and the Republicans on the US Supreme Court made sure it would not happen.
America has goten used to the crap neo-con experts testify to.
They say there is no global warming, that drinking water quality is unaffected by more arsenic content, that there are massive stockpiles of WoMD in Iraq, that torturing prisoners is good for them, etc.
Bush refused to repudiate the lies in the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads. Bush's top fundraiser keeps paying for the ads to run, and more and more of his staffers are shown to be coordinating the SBVT group.
This is what is called karma. What comes around, goes around.
Al Gore had far more exit polling data showing he beat Bush in Florida than anything that has shown up in Venezuela.
Only hypocrits point to election controversies in foreign countries and ignore the biggest one in Florida. If you believe the Venezuelan elections were stolen, you should be screaming about how Bush stole Florida from Al Gore.
That means the white supremacists have arrived at slashdot.
Remember those lovely things Jim Corsi said at freerepublic.com?
" Corsi on Islam: "a worthless, dangerous Satanic religion"
Corsi on Catholicism: "Boy buggering in both Islam and Catholicism is okay with the Pope as long as it isn't reported by the liberal press"
Corsi on Muslims: "RAGHEADS are Boy-Bumpers as clearly as they are Women-Haters -- it all goes together"
Corsi on "John F*ing Commie Kerry": "After he married TerRAHsa, didn't John Kerry begin practicing Judiasm? He also has paternal grandparents that were Jewish. What religion is John Kerry?"
Corsi on Senator "FAT HOG" Clinton: "Anybody ask why HELLary couldn't keep BJ Bill satisfied? Not lesbo or anything, is she?..."

Lots of lovely thoughts like that and worse expressed every day at both littlegreenfootballs and freerepublic.
It's a free country. They do have the right to spew bigotry on the net. I also have the right to point out what kind of bigoted extremists hang out at those two websites.
Well, you seem to be so damn concerned that elections are invalid if the election disagrees with the exit pools done outside the election site.
Exit polls say George Bush lost Florida.
You're being a complete hypocrite if you claim to be concerned about election return variances from exit polling data in Venezuela at the same time you recognize the Presidency of George W. Bush.
If you are so concerned about the sanctity of the election process, why aren't you in the streets of DC protesting the election Bush stole from Gore?
That's not "Barnes official bio." It's a biographical blurb about Barnes for a locally produced TV show Barnes appeared on.
This is not Barnes vs. CBS. It's KRLU vs. CBS.
Big freakin' difference.
There is also nothing in the KRLU blurb that contradicts Barnes statements. As I said, there are lots of part time government appointments that appointees do along side their "regular" jobs.
For example, Arnold Schwartzenegger has been on the President Council for Physical Fitness for years and years. Does that mean that Arnold made no movies while he was appointed to that job? Does that mean that Arnold is not Governor of CA right now?

No... you are just desperate in your attempts to spin this to Bush's advantage. There is nothing that conflicts in the CBS article and Barnes bio.
CBS said Barnes was the Speaker of the Texas State House when Bush came looking for a way out of going to Vietnam. Johnson asked Barnes to do other tasks along side his work as Speaker of the Texas State House.
Like I said, it's quite clear that you are clueless as to what is and isn't in the official personnel records of service members.
The reason there are reports about missions attached to the medals awarded is because they document that particular service members reason for recieving an award.
If you want the mission reports for Kerry's unit, you need to look up Kerry's unit and research what's in the archives regarding the history of the unit involved.
No amount of spinning on your part is going to change the historical record. Barnes was Speaker of the Texas State House when Bush was begging his Daddy's buddies for a Guard slot.
There are LOTS of appointed positions that don't require a very big time committment. Some of these commissions and boards only meet once a month.
As CBS says in it's article, Ben Barnes was Speaker of the Texas State House when he helped Bush into the TANG.
No amount of spinning on your part is going to change HISTORICAL FACTS.
Obviously, if Barnes was Speaker of the Texas State House AT THE SAME TIME he was assigned other tasks by Pres. Johnson, then the other tasks were only part time positions. There are LOTS of government appointments that don't require a large time committment. Lots of the commissions, etc. only meet once a month.
"...Barnes, who was House speaker when Mr. Bush entered the Guard, later became lieutenant governor...."
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/07/09/politics/main628437.shtml
All Kerry's record are at the Kerry site. There's many pages of military records on many pdf files.
So, are you going to tell me that with all the millions that have been spent ranting about Kerry service record, all you got is the typo of some enlisted clerk about a "V" on an award that neither Kerry nor the Navy has never claimed existed?
Kerry and the Navy both agree that Silver Stars have never had Vs, and the poor corporal that typed Kerry's DD-214 screwed up.
Kerry's journals and letters are not official military records. You don't even know what are and aren't official records.
Calhoun remembers Bush serving in the Alabama Guard when he was was still back in Texas. Calhoun gave dates and the dates were all wrong. THAT'S why Calhoun is unreliable.
Here's a better record of what happened in Alabama...
"George W. Bush's missing year
The widow of a Bush family confidant says her husband gave the future president an Alabama Senate campaign job as a favor to his worried father. Did they see him do any National Guard service? "Good lord, no."..."
http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2004/09/02/allis on/index_np.html
Ben Barnes help out Bush six months before he was elected as Lt. Gov because he was THE SPEAKER OF THE TEXAS HOUSE at the time.
Barnes doesn't Claim he was Lt Gov. at the time. Bob Novak made that shit up.
This just shows just how clueless Republicans are about the military.
There is no method for an individual service member to submit requests for their own medals. Other service members must submit individuals for awards.
By the way, Kerry still has shrapnel in his thigh from one of those Purple Hearts, and Kerry did two tours, one on the USS Gridley for a year, Kerry went back to the US to train for swift boats, then Kerry went back to Vietnam for his SECOND tour.
The AP ran the story. Karen Hughes asked (well, basically screamed) that the reporter double check the story. The AP reporter asked some other journalists at the event about the sounds, and the other reportes said there were mostly Oooooo with some boos.
The AP reissued the story within and hour... AND YOU NEO-CONS HAVEN'T STOPPED WHINING SINCE.
There were boos in the crowd. Claiming there weren't is a bald-faced lie.
Ben Barnes never claimed he was Lt. Gov. when he got Bush into the TANG. Bob Novak claimed that. Barnes was a Texas State Rep when he helped Bush get into the TANG. Barnes was elected to Lt. Gov. after getting Bush into the TANG. Barnes was Speaker of the Texas State House when he got Bush in the TANG.
No... the LA Times and CNN reported that Bush and Rove and a few people Rove told them to talk to said there was nothing to the charges in 1999. Neither did any serious research. It's taken literally years of lawsuits and Freedom of Information Act filings to get copies of Bush's military records.
Slashdot Mirror
It only a matter of time before they are both laying in a shared pool of blood.
I'm quite honestly stunned thet have lived this long. I figured they would murder each other long ago.
