GROUNDHOG DAY

Groundhog Day Groundhog Day
Groundhog Day 2005 in Punxsutawney

Main Stream Media just reported (6:30 AM CT) that the Groundhog saw his shadow today and that means that there will be at least five more weeks of winter (it used to be six weeks, but with global warming and all!) and billionaires will continue to fund people like Newton Gingrich.

So the more things do not change, the more things stay the same (what?).

INSIDER TRADING AND CONGRESS

Detail from Corrupt Legislation (1896) by Elihu Vedder. Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson Building, Washington, D.C

We need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, (audience boos) and my dear friend the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, we need to let them know that Florida ain't on the table," West said. "Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America...

He sat recalling past sins; not capable of recalling past victories.

What victories for chrissakes?

It was then he knew, he absolutely knew that his mood had taken over his thought processes.

PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE BY MICHIO KAKU

Well, certain ignoramuses who are taking over our educational system would ban Shakespeare, amend the actual history of the United States of America and completely abolish the basic sciences that took us to the moon and enabled us to send pictures of our naked girl friends to computer users all over the world.

We have had fine discussions here at Dagblog lately concerning tenure and the banning of books and the new Texas textbooks emerging on the primary educational market today.
