This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address fall on the same day. It is an ironic juxtaposition: One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, and the other involves a groundhog.
Cheers! Rich

Sorry Rich, but you're off by 2 days. The State of the Union Address is Jan 31 and Groundhog Day is Feb 2.
Groundhog Day is real?? I thought that was made up for a chick-flick.

They yank that critter out of that cage and with all those camera lamps, there is always many shadows!! but its usually pretty shitty weather here in pittsburgh!
greg
And the Superbowl is Feb 5.
By the way, the weather forcast for Pittsburgh and Punxsutawney is partly cloudy. 50/50 cance of longer winter.
greg
Don't know about you Southerners, but we haven't had winter yet up here. ;-)

Winter, Schminter. It's middle of Summer! What are you guys on about??

Q: What do Vermonters do in the Summer?
A: If it falls on Sunday they have a picnic.
Vermont, the four-season state: leaves, snow, mud, rain.

Minnesota has two: Winter, and Road Construction. ;-)
Cheers! Rich
I konw[SIC], bad form to reply to one's post, but I had not spotted the glaring discrapency[SIC] in the date thing here until it was pointed out to me.
Today, they guy who had emailed it to me, who is a cow-orker, called me over and was saying, "Say, you know, that groundhog day thing I emailed you? Well, I have no idea where it came from, I just sent it along -- I didn't even know that the state of the union thing was Yesterday until I saw it on the news today!"
So, it's not my fault!
I told him that I had transmitted it worldwide, and that someone had commented on it, and said, "But it's still funny!" And he's all "Yabbut, it was wrong!" and I sez, "Well, that makes it even funnier!" and he laughed.
I have done Good today. ;-P
Cheers! Rich
It's probably cold enough in Minnesota that they don't salt the roads, right?

Good one. "The state of the Union is good. Nyeep nyeep nyeep!" Sadly, we don't get a 'do over' with this particular groundhog.

That's twice as many as PA has. They have year-round road construction. The blinking sawhorse is their state animal.

It's cold enough here that they don't sand them. They spread 100% salt. When I got to work this morning there were places in the parking lot and sidewalks were there was an inch of *salt*.
-- Keith
Sadly indeed. We had one do-over. We'll just have to make do with his brother. ;-)

So, if George sees his shadow, how much longer do we have to spend in Iraq?

I think that once Dubya is impeached and jailed in 2007, it'll be hard for his brother to overcome the stigma to get the nomination. :P

Dream on. It'll never happen.
He'll retire to Canada and run and win office there ;-)
His brother has no personality. I doubt that he'll even run in the primaries.
