Punxsutawney Phil gets booed
"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. The prediction drew boos from thousands who gathered in 17-degree weather to witness the 118th annual weather prediction."

5. Phil is as accurate....................
as a Republican vote counter. Why they continue this charade every year is beyond me. I guess when you live in Punxutawney (I've been there, it's depressing) you have to have SOMETHING to look forward to. Anything!

6. Are Groundhogs Normally So Tame And Docile? Was Phil Drugged? Or...
is there any danger that he could panic and bite someone?

7. Was Phil Drugged?
Maybe Phil got tangled up with the same people who drugged and dug Sadam out of his hole. Wonder if Sadam gets to be named honorary groundhog?
