open wordpad or notepad, type "Bush hid the facts" without the quotes. save it as a text file and close the file. reopen it and look what you get....

wtf?

edit: figured it out. The default save format for notepad is ANSI, but the default open format is Unicode. This particular sequence of characters must be ambiguous enough that notepad can't tell which way to open so it goes with Unicode. If you open the file and choose ANSI it'll work as intended.
