4. 94% to 6%
from Teaser's LBN thread of a couple of days ago:

*********QUOTE******
You know the mysterious torn document? It's torn no longer. And it ain't a Texas Air National Guard document:


http://www.calpundit.com/archives/003220.html

As it turns out, though, we have traded one mystery for another. It's now clear that the document is genuine, but what exactly does it tell us? In particular:


The first listed date is October 29, not November 29 as we had theorized before. But George Bush was still in Alabama in October. What exactly was he getting attendance credit for?


This is neither a Texas Air National Guard document nor an Alabama document. What is it?


The answer, as you can see from the top line, is that it is an ARF document, as is this record from 1973

...


ARF is a "paper unit" based in Denver that requires no drills and no attendance. For active guard members it is disciplinary because ARF members can theoretically be called up for active duty in the regular military, although this obviously never happened to George Bush.

To make a long story short, Bush apparently blew off drills beginning in May 1972, failed to show up for his physical, and was then grounded and transferred to ARF as a disciplinary measure.

7. Somebody is reading them
Probably people who work in the corporate media (particularly the CIA-plants), guys who work for Richard Mellon Scaife and Grover Norquist and Karl Rove....

And eventually, when the poll is just too awful for the current dynasty, CNN just pulls it. They learn something, ten thousand of us learn something - and then the whole thing just disappears.

Somebody should really be screen-shotting them before CNN pulls them all down, and archiving them all in one website. (Would copyright be an issue?)

9. Well, yes and no
He has answered everything he possibly can without coming out and admitting he actually WAS AWOL. He's never going to do that.

He's provided records showing he was paid, but I was paid for my last year in the Reserves in the 70's and I never showed up, so that means nothing.
