He died a long while ago. He just doesn’t have the decency to stop breathing.

Dan Blather should stay retired to his house on Lake Travis, to the left of Austin, TX.

And that is *left*.

Us normal people would call it West.

Dan Blather—He’s been around too long.

I can’t remember the last time I watched a tv news program. I figure if it’s not here on FR, I don’t need to know about it.
