Ground Hog Day
This is a year when both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address occur in the same week.

"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."

4. Not sure, I received it in an email just as written
Thought it was a funny, interesting quote.

A search on the internet came up with this response on a blog: http://www.andersonfreepress.net/anderson-forums/afp-an...

Here is another place it is in a letter posted on line: http://forums.terra.com/foros/mexicanos_en_la/Mexicanos... /

If either of those are the original author, I can't be sure.

bu$h is a pathological liar.
