Default OT - groundhog day

Paraphrased from Radio America:

Yesterday was both Groundhog Day and the President's State of the Union
Address. One involved a meaningless ritual in which we looked, for
prognostication, to a goofy looking creature of little discernible
intelligence. The other involved a groundhog.

One of them predicted roughly six more weeks of winter.

Ahhh... so we finally found the one person that listens to Air America!

(and it's "Air America", not "Radio America"...)

Getting your facts straight is _always_ important... and I find it
incredibly ironic that an attempt at a liberal talk radio network named
itself after a CIA covert ops "airline" from the Vietnam era. chuckle

And it's entirely possible that it's even more ironic than you know.

Heck, if they had called it the more-appropriate "Radio Free Europe"...
