Web Logs….Blogs ... Or Perhaps....Typographic Forensics—

Reading our St. Pete Times newspaper this morning, I find a front page article about a blog posted by “Buckhead”. The writer of this blog questioned the validity of documents Dan Rather cited as proof that George W. Bush did not fulfill his National Guard Duty more than 30 years ago.
‘Buckhead’ suggested that the CBS report referred to documents that very well could have been forged. One proof was in the typed “187 th’ which would have been typed in as ‘th‘ on electric typewriters 30 years ago yet it appeared on this ’allegedly aged’ document as…..187th which today’s Microsoft Word Documents automatically produce as the superscript…..
How about that, sports fans?
Are our blogs personal, private or public?
Who reads them?
How much ’truth’ is found on these web logs?
Only God knows***
Personally I find it very amusing that any ’blog’ can be quoted or used as a point of ’authority’…..in the above case the blog writer just pointed out the ‘insanities’ in the document that a ’rookie’ computer user would recognize as a fraud or typographic forensics....
But there is another truth here…..The simple sometimes sees the obvious…
Lest we forget…..
