Groundhog Day Is Coming

This is from an email a friend sent me this morning:

In the coming New Year, 2012, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address will occur on the same day.

One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to an insignificant creature of little intelligence for prognostication.

The other involves a groundhog.

Am I a bad person for chuckling?

   If so you’re in good company.

   Or is it bad company?

   Whatever, take your pick. You’re not alone.

   I don’t want to a bad(Il Brutto) person. I prefer to be a ugly (Il Cattivo) person. Tuco had a lot more fun than Blondie and Angle Eyes.

    I love the line: There are two kinds of spurs: those that come in through doors and those that come in through windows.
