Hey Punxsuntuwaney Phil--Shhh!

I believe in just about everything. I believe aliens crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. I believe that the University of Texas is a tool of the devil because of its "Hook'em" hand gesture. I believe JFK was killed by Mafia sharpshooters flown in from France. I believe Queen Elizabeth had Diana offed in the Paris tunnel.

I however do not believe that a ground hog can see his own shadow. Listen this year has been tough. We had to listen to and see all of the Michael Jackson tributes. My favorite was when the FBI took his name off of the national sex offender registry. Obama dropped the ball on health care, movies stars continue to die, Tim Tebow wept, Susan Boyle sang, and we've had a whole mess of natural disasters. But Phil please stop seeing your shadow! We had 3 inches of ice and six inches of snow in 24 hours last week bud. I think it is time for you to get with the program. We like global warming! Heat up this land!

I'm not real sure how he got his name. How did he get his job? Maybe the people that thought up the original Coca Cola recipe of cocaine and caffeine said, "Hey let's get a ground hog, lock him up, and stick him out in the sun in the middle of the winter. And if he sees his shadow? Six more weeks of winter!" Does anybody else wonder how certain traditions begin? This is definitely one of them.

Well I'm off to Juarez to see if I can stop the violence, but I suspect that I will have more to add about that stupid hog later.
