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 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?
