February is Valentine’s month around here…..

But, if you really want to see magic happen, try to make every day Valentine’s Day with your loved ones.

That’s “exactly” what people think. That they are cartoons. And that’s how they get surprised and hooked. When someone has a low expectation and the result is beyond their imaginations in a positive standard, they get addicted. It’s not like something that’s over hyped and people go watch it (Star Wars I) and it’s a disaster.

As for Sly’s idea, that might work. Certainly MSNBC is full of cartoon caricatures, so the phase over shouldn’t be that jarring. Only problem is, it will attract so many viewers to MSNBC, and such a draw can be dangerous for the anti-Leftist alliance, as it empowers MSNBC, a Leftist propaganda arm. So I still think it’s better to show it on Fox, that way people can get “hooked” and addicted. Before they know it, they will be celebrating the virtues of courage and other character strengths, rather than sex and alcohol, free condoms and abortions.

Of course, if somebody manages to buy up MSNBC and purge the Leftists and replace them with Foxy conservative women, then it might be different…

Jose gave an interesting viewpoint into how humans have prejudices and blind areas. The definition of a blind area is that you are not aware of. Thus fighting it with anti-racist type rhetoric isn’t going to help. The ones you need to deal with, are the ones you are unaware even exists. Humans are tricky that way.

Flyover: Only if someone else volunteers to explain to the stock holders what that name means.

How ’bout a compromise?
You want it on an adult channel, yet it’s a cartoon….how about a month-long, 24 hr marathon on the best adult cartoon channel I can think of……

wait for it…….

oh, come on, shirley you already know……

MSNBC!

It’ll certainly be the best month of programming they’ve ever had.

Don’t forget (as if we would be allowed to forget), June is GLBT Celebration month!

As for February, it is special, since it is my birthday month. I have long given myself a whole month, so perhaps I should not complain about Black History month(s), Women’s Month, Green month, whatever.

Ymar, maybe “Niebelungens-Umwälzung ” could be the name of your core tap?

The military, of course, fully supports Black History month activities, usually culminating in a banquet complete with guest speaker. When on active duty, I was frequently tasked to provide support of one type or another.

One year an event was planned by an organization of black officers. I was asked to assemble a number of posters displaying the accomplishments of black military members. My source material was a book with post-its marking the relevant individuals.

A curious omission was the civil war sergeant who was the first black Medal of Honor recipent. As an enlisted man, I was unable to resist putting that individual on a poster, and pointing out the omission to the project officer.

Later I realized the officers group had intentionally narrowed it’s focus to officers only. I guess even Black History Month has it’s sub divisions

February is a very special month for me. That’s when nine years of frustration came to an end with the birth of our daughter.
As for the Black History Months (remember, October is Black History Month, too) debacle….they’ve always struck me as nothing more than hypocritical lip service. Same with Women’s History Month and whatever/whoever history month else is out there. If teachers were truly teaching our children what it is to be Americans, all the women, blacks, Asians (funny how there isn’t an Asian History Month, eh?), Native Americans, etc. etc. would already be included in their education. However, I realize that this makes sense, so……
