Groundhog Booed As He Sees His Shadow
DAN NEPHIN
Associated Press

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. - If you're tired of winter, Punxsutawney Phil had a message for you Monday - get used to it.

After a rap on an oak stump roused him from his home on Gobbler's Knob, the world's most famous furry forecaster "saw" his shadow this chilly Groundhog Day morning, which according to tradition means six more weeks of winter.

Phil even included a topical reference in his proclamation - to the capture of Saddam Hussein.

"I'm glad I live in this luxurious burrow on the knob, and not in a dirty, smelly, spider hole like a slob," said the proclamation read aloud by one of the organizers. "When I come out, I don't want to negotiate; but to just do my job and prognosticate."

2. Six more weeks of WMD searching.
That's ok; a parade of fools can be fun to watch.

3. where's PETA?
animals do not exist on this earth to serve as our scapegoats. And while we're at it, the word scapegoat is defamatory.

4. LOL
Good thing he doesn't do his gig in Philly, they'd probably have pelted him with rocks.
