The Preserve the word Rather

To:  CBS News

We, the undersigned, are sick and tired of having to use the word "rather" with a note of irony whenever mentioning Gunga Dan's forged memo story.

We, the Undersigned, hereby call on Dan Rather to immediately change his legal name to "Dan Antidisestablishmentarianism" so that we can go back to using the word "rather" without having to use some form of ironic superscripting or other device to make the word "rather" more ironic and to show how aware we are of the irony in the word "rather".

We, the undersigned believe an appropriate punishment for Gunga Dan's tarnishing of the word "rather" is for him to type all his correspondence, including his new name "Dan Antidisestablishmentarianism" on an IBM Selectric Composer from now on.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
