No way Rather is really from Texas. No way. Must be some kind of mistake. There is just nothing Texan about him.

He is not from Texas, of course unless you think Austin is really part of Texas.

His daughter is involved in Save Our Springs. This is a left wing environmental wacko group that puts progress behind Salamanders.

I'm sure you're right, metaphorically. Undoubtedly, at an early age, Dan recognized himself as a snooty, effete, elite, girly-man trapped in a Texan's body. I could be wrong; he may have developed the "snooty" at a later age.

Sure, it fits. He's got the kind of personallity you get when you're beat up several times a day for being a sissa-boyh.

Are you trying to tell us that there are no PissAnts in Texas? How about LBJ, Molly Ivins, Jim Hightower, Anne Richards, Lord Bentsen, and I could go on and on? Rather fits right in with this bunch.

I am sorry to break it to you, but to this Californian's ears, Dan still sounds like he just moved out of Houston a few years ago, and is still working on perfecting a "mainstream" accent. I knew he was from Texas before knowing he was from Texas, if you know what I mean.

And then of course we have Dan's colorful little rural and/or sourthern expressions that he shares with us from time to time (actually I hear them only on election nights, because that is the only time I allow Dan to share any time with me) to remind us what a down to earth chap he is.

Unfortunately Dan IS from Texas. Graduated from Sam Houston State University in fact but we don't TELL anyone!

Even worse is the fact that the guy Dan replaced (Walter Crankcase) is ALSO from Texas! (Galveston)
