    Should open every morning’s broadcast with a Soviet style patriotic bellowing of the national anthem, complete with happy farmhands slinging hay with pitchforks as they sing along!

      I don’t know about starting the broadcast (I’m not a morning person), but I know one of my local TV stations used to end the broadcast at night by playing the state song before going off air. I used to see it sometimes if I dozed off and left the TV on for an hour or so after the midnight Deep Space Nine rerun.

      Deep Space Nine, Night Man (which was very mediocre, BTW), Georgia On My Mind, static.

        LOL! I just went and looked on google images at the pictures of Night Man. That suit is utterly ridiculous! Holy cats, it’s laughably bad! Glad I missed it, and it apparently was on TV while I still had one.

        We need Night Man as the Ubermensch symbol of our New Patriotism…

        …so flipping absurd…

        You were slinging hay with pitchforks in elementary school?! That must’ve been awesome… and slightly terrifying at the same time!

        LOL! Yaah, I get it though…
