Utah State University: Shilling for CBS?
The debates turned out as I expected. Boring proof that neither candidate is worth my vote. Oh well.
There was a somewhat interesting development in the “Dan Rather’s Forged Memos Controversy” yesterday from my home state.
The blog Wizbang looked closely at an effort by a USU professor to prove the documents were typed on a typewriter…not forged on a word processor. The efforts by this professor appeared somewhat fraudulent and they were calling him on it. When the professor removed or edited the files on his webpage which were most suspect it became clear that his efforts were dishonest.
This whole story is pretty deep and I’m only interested because I’m a fan of the Aggies. I hope the school hasn’t stuck itself into the middle of this controversy on what is clearly the wrong side. That’s just stupid. CBS isn’t worth it.
UPDATE: USU is fighting back against allegations that they are a political hack job factory. From looking at the evidence I’d say they are fighting an uphill battle. I wonder what Dan thinks of all of this? He hasn’t posted anything yet but I would think that his inside connections at USU could shed some light on what is going on. Maybe?

I would have to agree that the debate was less than what I expected. 15 minutes into it, I was thinking, ‘I hope they’re planning on memorizing 8 new bullets each for the next 2 debates!’
