In the coming New Year, 2012, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address will occur on the same day.This is an ironic juxtaposition of events.
One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to an insignificant creature of little intelligence for prognostication.
The other involves a groundhog.

lol...How do you do that? How do you get me each time? It's a bit uncanny. (I had to pull out my dictionary at 'least' three times. You made me laugh and taught me something at the same time =)
I am not casting my vote for a single incumbent... Are there any Groundhogs running in the next election?
Big hugs honey xoxo
Ouch! Hahahahaha! I prefer watching the groundhog. I'm tired of talking :)
Have a great Thursday, Sandee!
LOL, I like that one. It is so perfect. Have a great Thurs. Sandee.
Bwahahaha...
Only wish the public would vote for the groundhog instead of the other choice.
laughing so hard at this one!!!
smiles, bee
xxoxoxoox
Now that's a good one and I totally agree with Barb, too! I'd much rather vote for a groundhog than the caste of characters up for election this next go-round.
I'll be voting for Obama!
I'll take that groundhog over obummer any day!
Have a great day. Big hugs from sunny FL honey...
ROFLMFAO
Da bro must go!
I feel for poor Phil the Groundhog. Even being mentioned in the same sentence as B.O., and he really is a stinker!
Thanks for the laughs Sandee!
Hilarious. I just might have to pinch that in February.
Good one Sandee! At least the groundhog gives us a reason to smile and we know he is always going to be half right!
If the groundhog gave the speech, at least it would be sensible.
Make it 14-1 in favor of the ground hog ;-)
Make that 15-1 in favor of the ground hog. :)
I completely agree with this analysis of the situation. Love it!!!
Sandee good one.
Sorry I missed you for Christmas my friend. All three of us got sick with stomach flu and one week we did completely nothing, but taking care of each other. Recovered just in time for Christmas.
Hope all is well with you and wishing you happy new year - laugh, love and dance! Anna :)
Haha :) Go groundhog!! This is too funny, I too needed to break out the dictionary (well Google really.) I never heard the word juxtaposition, had to Google it lol!
a Punxsutawney juxtaposition no less.
this is pretty funny...and sad at the same time.
I bet Punxsutawney Phil will get more media coverage :)
No doubt Phil will provide better direction for the people of America.
.... is distracted by the groundhogs' adorable fluffiness! So cute!!!!!
I'm sure cute equals able to prognosticate.
I'm absolutely certain. he he heee!
So true it's funny.
