Punxsutawney George

This year, Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address fell on the same day. As Air America Radio pointed out, "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."

(That picture of Punxsutawney George kind of lends new meaning to the whole human-animal hybrid debate, doesn't it?)
