In which the Monkey adjusts his tinfoil hat and Peers into the Past.
In 1971, a young man who would later become President of the United States, traveled to Guatemala on Business. The trip, one of the few he had made outside the borders of the US, must have made quite an impression on him, since Guatemala in 1971 was a Very Interesting Place. Here's picture of what the capitol, Monkeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10355121252361789008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135926.post-1077857398705528172004-02-26T20:49:00.000-08:002004-02-26T20:54:29.263-08:00Look Back in ANGR, Part 5
In which the Monkey shakes his head Ruefully at what his Country has Done
George W. Bush visited Guatemala, according to the Washington Post, while working for the agricultural company Stratford of Texas. He was accompanied by Peter C. Knudtzon, his immediate boss. The thing is, Guatemala was in what came to be called a "state of siege" at that time.

In which the Monkey Wonders what Guatemalan food tastes like.
It seems that George Bush's Service in the Air National Guard story will not die out.
Today, the Bush Campaign chairman, Marc "The Rascal" Racicot, claimed that Bush volunteered to go to Vietnam, but was not chosen.
Now, this is, quite simply, a lie. Bush's documents clearly show that he did NOT volunteer Monkeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10355121252361789008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135926.post-1077494070151418062004-02-22T15:54:00.000-08:002004-02-22T15:57:15.983-08:00Look back in ANGR, Part 3
In which the Monkey Sighs and Decides to Move On, for Now.
It seems that Bush is going to get off the hook for his shoddy Guard record after all, unless someone manages to find a smoking gun of some sort.
So, despite the fact that he clearly got help getting into the Guard, and he clearly entered the Guard in order to avoid Vietnam, and he barely managed to perform Monkeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10355121252361789008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135926.post-1077429995768170252004-02-21T22:06:00.000-08:002004-02-21T22:13:10.390-08:00Look Back in ANGR: Part 1, Redux
In which the Monkey attempts to soothe a Reader
Due to an over-zealous fit of editing, I accidentally deleted (actually cut and pasted over) the first installment of Look Back in ANGR.
Sad, but true, the Monkey blames himself. It was not, as some have implied, an attempt at some sort of censorship or anything like it. It was a complete and utter Accident.

In which the Monkey Wonders, do they treat all Lieutenants equally?
BevD over at Calpundit noticed something the Monkey, in a fit of grooming, must have overlooked.
Special Order 158, in which young Lt. Bush is Honorably Discharged from the TANG and assigned to a paper unit in Denver, seems to be a rather strange document.
It reads:

It seems that is all the Bush AWOL documents raise. More questions than answers.
On Bush's service biography, there is a line (on page 13/25) that was blacked out in the set released in 2000, but not blacked out in the 2004 release.
Why?
The line (on page 5/19) reads:

The Monkey is interested in Bush's National Guard Service.
The Monkey feels that this deserves looking into for the following reasons:
The man is running for President.
He styles himself as a War President.
He's a civilian leader who wears a uniform too often for the Monkey's tastes.
The Monkey thinks he's a fraud. (But I'll be fair)
So, here we go.
