The world's most famous weather rodent

Today is Groundhog Day, one of the most insignificant days of the entire year. February 2nd is just about as arbitrary as June 14th (extra credit for someone who knows what June 14th actually is). Anyhow, people in pathetic Pennsylvania think that some mangy flea infested oversized rat can predict weather trends. He is of course: "Punxsutawney Phil, seer or seers, sage of sages, prognosticator of prognosticators and weather prophet extraordinary". Now, the funny thing is that I call him flea infested, you may be thinking, I have no way of knowing if he is in fact infested with fleas, well, you are partially correct. You see, the word Punxsuatwney comes from the Indian name for the town of the sandflies. So I did my research you punks, so don't question me anymore. On to the bigger issue, weather predicting groundhogs are communists. Ok, bold, yes, but please hear me out. Every February 2nd, 35,000 "fans" descend onto the small town of Punxsutawney, PA. Why do they go? To be TOLD what they will have to experience in weather for the next 6 weeks of their lives, and why, because the sun was either in or out that day, I say its BS, and you all know it, you have been brainwashed by the liberal meida to listen to this quote/endquote Groundhog. I mean, look at the weather today, yeah, the sun is out, but heck, its the warmest day in a long time up here in Connecticut and most of the northeast. I say that Mr. Rat if dead wrong, and that people should learn to stand up to this furry forecaster. I say enough of Phils predictions, I'm on my own... I SAY NO MORE WEEKS OF WINTER, my reason for this prediction... cuz my hair was messy when i woke up this morning instead of just kinda matted.
