Well, blogging has hit the big time and boy is the media pissed. The more the media pushes stories that don't hold up to even cursory analysis, the more I wonder which, if any stories are true? I now treat any media story as biased and lazy. they have lost all credibility to me. I get most of my news from blogs, or original sources. I try to read from a variety of sources, who all have their biases on their sleeves, right where I can see them, and their blind spots.
Donald Sensing writes on problems with the documents (and corrects his previous comment about there not being an Air Force Manual 35-13)
Belmont Club talks about Dan Rather trying escape the Kill Zone.
The Washington Times reports that the signatures don't match on the memos allegedly written by Lt Col Jerry B. Killian.
The Dallas Morning News reports that the man named in the memo who was putting pressure on Killian to cover for President Bush had left the TANG the previous year.
Ben Barnes daughter claims this is all political. Barnes had previously claimed to have not helped President Bush get into the TANG. Barnes is also the 3rd highest donot to the Kerrey campaign.
The Shape of Days describes what the IBM Selectric Composer could actually do. Additionaly, the $4000 typesetter would have cost $17,900 in 1972 dollars.

A storm is coming ... Again
Sigh.
There are times I hate being in Florida. This is one of them. It's not the storm itself, its the waiting for the next one to hit. Charley didn't hit us here in Coral Springs, Frances barely touched us, but I got a few days off of work because there was no power in West Palm, ansd now Ivan is on the way. It looks like it will miss South Florida, but that's still not certain.

New Games
I haven't posted on games lately. Recently I have purchased:
GURPS 4th Characters
GURPS 4th Campaigns
The World of Darkness
Vampire: The Requiem
Fields of Blood
None of which will be used for a while, but I do have plans.
