..........stuff like this drives me crazy!!!

Brace yourself for more wintry weather. Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow Saturday, leading the groundhog to forecast six more weeks of winter. The rodent was pulled from his stump by members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club Inner Circle, top-hat- and tuxedo-wearing businessmen who carry out the tradition.Each Feb. 2, thousands of people descend on Punxsutawney, a town of about 6,100 people some 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, to celebrate what had essentially been a German superstition. The tradition is that if a hibernating animal sees a shadow on Feb. 2 — the Christian holiday of Candlemas — winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow is seen, legend says spring will come early.

I loathe the media for this crap. Every year there are those totally predictable things you will see on the news. So, every year I have to put up with Groundhog Day! Who cares? Nobody that has the worth to be allowed to breathe cares about Groundhog Day. I can't believe we have to see it on every news channel in America once each year! Another one of those irritating news stories is about all those New Year's Resolutions. Only idiots make New Year's Resolutions. If it's important, you won't wait until New Year's Day to plan on doing it. The scary part of it all is, this is what America wants to hear. Well, I don't want to hear it; and I certainly don't want the news people to take me to the US Post Office with thier live camera feed talking to some idiot who is in line to file his taxes on April 15 just before midnight!
