Several radio hosts have said how pleased they are that February has ended. Actually, they said "that month." Because it isn't February's weather that bothers them, it isn't that they suffer from SAD. It's that they find it impossible to pronounce "February" correctly.
Announcers for whom names like "Mahmoud Ahmadinejad" and "Tuktoyaktuk" roll trippingly off the tongue face an insurmountable tongue-twister in "February." It comes out as "Febroosh," "Foobrush" and "Febrooshery." Give us, they say, a straightforward month like March.
And here it is. Unfortunately, during the past twenty-eight days many broadcasters abandoned their microphones and went into politics.
And on politics, this news from Victoria: Premier Christy Clark said she was "shocked, shocked, to think that anyone would use government resources to put forward a cynical, manipulative election strategy." She announced an internal investigation would begin at once "to determine that we didn't do anything wrong."
