Punxsutawney Phil and Al Gore

Today, Friday February 2nd, 2007 is Groundhog Day in the United States. This is the day that Punxsutawney Phil, a groundhog, predicts the coming spring weather. If he sees his shadow, that means there is more winter coming. If he does not see his shadow as he reportedly did not today, that means spring is near.

No doubt Phil's viewing of his shadow and the expected early spring will be used as "proof" of global warming by Al Gore and his sideshow crowd.
