Algore went outside, saw his own (hulking) shadow, got frightened and cold and went back inside to turn up the thermostat. So, six more weeks of winter, bitches!
And on this slide, you can see . . .

crap. We’ve been stuck down in the low 70s forever it seems. Good thing I bought sweaters for when I went to Texas.

STUCK DOWN IN THE LOW 70’s!
I mean, although it is in the balmy mid-40’s in NYC, tomorrow it’ll be snowing again…
Didn’t Punxetawney Phil get the envelope I sent him..?
6 more weeks of winter is really harshin’ my mellow; I guess I’ll have to pay an impromptu visit on my brother-in-law in Florida…

It’s not even getting out of the 60s today. Brrrrrr…
Comment by Pablo on 2/2 @ 10:34 am #
Winter will continue for 6 weeks from the beginning of February? Whoda thunk?

I know I volunatily moved to NYC, so that my lovely wife could finish her time as a prosecuter; doin’ the real law and order thing…
And I know, every sword cuts both ways and choices have consequences…
But you’re KILLIN’ me here with talk of temperatures above 60 degrees, spoken of disdainfully, or having the “brrrrr” appelation attached…
Reminds me of my cousin in Ft. Meyer. Every time we talk, he reminds me he’s wearin’ flip-flops and havin’ a cool drink on the porch…And then asks how much snow I had recently shoveled!…
Oh well, at least someone isn’t havin’ to deal with all this global warming and Obama concurrently…

I live in FT. Myers Bob. It’s been raining (yeah!). We may get a hard freeze come mid-week they’re saying. Where most people hear hard freeze, shrug and wait for it to warm up, South Florida launches into crisis prevention mode and starts covering plants, turning on sprinkler systems and braces for the economic losses typically running in the hundreds of millions, all on account of five to eight hours of temps remaining below 31 degrees F, let alone falling to 28 or lower. Whole crops get wiped out, ornamentals die everywhere, fruit groves can be driven to bankruptcy and horticultural suppliers can lose whole inventories overnight.

I would have thought that a 55 grain JHP from a 1:9 twist barrel would have prevented Phil from noticing his shadow . . .
They ARE varmints in Pennsylvania, aren’t they?

I’m actually wearing a turtleneck.
It’s even worse than that: last weekend it was so cold, I could work in my attic without losing a quart of sweat every fifteen minutes.
Frick’n deep freeze, here.

#8: Um, they’ve got Murtha representing them. So, I’m not sure. The racists.
Comment by Sticky B on 2/2 @ 10:53 am #
Pux Phil showed up, saw sumpinorother, and the science is settled. THE SCIENCE IS FUCKING SETTLED, PEOPLE!!!!!

Dan: Why did you put up a picture of Pam on this posting?
Comment by scooter (still not libby) on 2/2 @ 10:58 am #
Who’s Pam? I thought that was Andy Sullivan.
Comment by Joe on 2/2 @ 10:59 am #
If you are referring to John Murtha, he goes by the title whistlepig.
Comment by Bob Reed on 2/2 @ 11:00 am #
Gee Sdferr,
I hope that it at least stays above freezing, for the sake of all those farmers…
I’ll remember to check with you to determine the reafng on my cousins BS meter…

that looks more like a fat squirrel.
Comment by N. O'Brain on 2/2 @ 11:18 am #
LOVE that movie.

Pam does need to cut back on the scones just a tidge.
Comment by happyfeet on 2/2 @ 11:31 am #
Ha. Nope. 2009 doesn’t look to be shaping up into a big golfing year. My next thing is the quitting of the smoking. I took my first Chantix today, so my quit day will be in two weeks or so. After that I’m not sure. I wish we had little rodent oracles all year round.

George Stephanopolous prognosticates regularly on ABC…

Are you sure he didn’t see “manbearpig? I’m super-serial.
Comment by Christopher Taylor on 2/2 @ 2:53 pm #
Isn’t that a larch?
Comment by Mikey NTH on 2/2 @ 4:26 pm #
I wonder what kind of carbon footprint ‘Phil’ has; what with all of the hoopla and press.
Him and Wiarton Willie – pesky groundhog weather rodents.

LOVE that movie.”
I loved it too, until I realized that it was about my freakin’ life. EVERY DAY IS GROUND HOG DAY” if you are older than 55.
Comment by McGehee on 2/2 @ 7:48 pm #
Groundhogs hell. What I want to know is whether Jim Cantore saw his shadow.
And how far away was he from me? I get nervous when he’s too close by.
Comment by JD on 2/2 @ 8:02 pm #
How many people could stand in algore and michael moore’s shadows?

How many
peopleplanets could stand in algore and michael moore’s shadows?Fixed it for you.
If “global warming” ever becomes a real problem, we could use a Project Orion vehicle to launch Gore and Moore. Instant sun shade!

@12 Joe, you made a friend for life…

Something to bitch about.

I am so happy to win this award, let me start with thanking Jeff Goldberg for his inspiration, one day he will get that high ranking position at the State Department…

lobbed typically juvenile barbs my way
Pam: if you cut back on those super-mature bon mots like “Talibangelist”, you might have some room to talk about juvenility. A regular Oscar Wilde of the playground, you are. Also if you guys cut back a little bit on the fascist tactics, people might be willing to use their names.
Until then: Pot. Kettle. Racist.

I was tempering the “fat squirrel” comment, and what thanks do I get?
I get burdened with baybeez.
