  BALLAD OF DAN RATHER

  (Sung to the tune from the Beverly Hillbillies)

  Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Dan,
  The documents were fake and he didn't give a damn;
  He put 'em on the air, an' he thought he'd done the job, 
  But up from the web come a howlin' mob.

  Blogs, that is.
  Web logs.
  Checkin' facts.

  Well, the first thing you know ol' Dan's a-runnin' fast;
  Made a false report an' it bit him in the ass;
  He said 'dog-gonnit, I done thought I'd get away!'
  But it turned out to be his a-reckonin' day.

  Busted, that is.
  Red-faced.
  Mud in the eye.

  Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Dan and all his men;
  And they would like to shoot you folks for turnin' them all in;
  You're all invited back next week to watch the Evening News,
  And see which correspondent's picked to fill Dan's empty shoes.

  Y'all come back, now, hear?
