*           Groundhog Day 2011*
This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address occur on
the same day.
"It is an ironic juxtaposition of events: one involves a meaningless ritual
in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication
while the other involves a groundhog." -A.A.
