I like what the officer's secretary said (paraphrasing)... "those memos are
obviously fake, because I didn't type them, and men just didn't do secretaries
work back then... but the ideas they express are obviously true"
But again, does this matter? Does it matter what Kerry did back then either?
Maybe a little, but what really matters is what Bush has done to the country and
the world, and is likely to do going forward, and what really matters is what
Kerry would be likely to do going forward.
Given that, I prefer the pompous patrician gasbag to the pompous patrician
airhead. Marginally at best, but there is a preference there.
However latest tracking polls show Michigan trending for Kerry more strongly
than before so I should be safe voting for Badnarak.
