Ground Hog Day

 

Today is Groundhog Day, when a poor unsuspecting groundhog is dragged out of its burrow by men in funny hats, some of which are way too big.  Look at the guy at the back with it over his eyes.

In keeping with tradition, groundhogs across the country predict whether there will be an early spring or another six weeks of winter simply by seeing their own shadow while exiting their burrows today, and this groundhog, the most well known, is Punxsutawney Phil in PA.  And his prediction is that there will be another six weeks of winter.

HOWEVER, in Staten Island their groundhog, Chuck, who came up in a glass case on an elevator in the Staten Island Zoo, predicts an early spring.    I say they should ask a meteorologist.

And the rest of the news................

This woman went into labour, her husband was away, so she tried to drive herself to the hospital.  But she didn't make it.  She had to make an emergency call and the baby was delivered by a State Trooper.  That's the state trooper holding the baby; he looks like a proud father doesn't he.

This is the nation's chief rabble rouser,  the Rev. Al Sharpton, a Baptist minister.

Mothers have stopped vaccinating their children because of widespread fears of the vaccine, consequently there is now a major outbreak, which started in Disneyland.

Another Japanese journalist has just been executed by the barbaric ISIS extremists and Obama's four star generals are beside themselves with frustration and anger over his failure to even acknowledge that these Muslim extremists have declared war on the west, he pretends it is all just not happening, and if left alone they will somehow  just go away.   But you cannot win a war if you won't acknowledge the enemy, and I fear that by the time the enemy have accomplished their stated aim of establishing a world wide Caliphate in which everyone will be forced to convert to Islam, or die, it will be too late.   What is happening is precisely what Hitler tried to do in World War II and Obama just doesn't see it.
