Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper passes along news that the Repub’s attempts to impeach the groundhog and replace it with a weasel has stalled as the entire weasel family—which includes the badger, serves notice that they want nothing to do with a weather forecasting scheme based on shadows.

Speaking for all weasels, the Wisconsin badger points out that shadowy predicting of all kinds has long been the prevue of the Repub-lead rodent family and that should stay in pace so long as the Repubs are so good at working with rodents and shadows.

Along those lines, a move by a delusional political human to grab all the publicity generated by Groundhog Day failed when it was discovered the human did not have enough character to cast a shadow.

Tomorrow, on the official Groundhog Day, the keeper will be looking for Phyllis’s shadow to see if she is up and making coffee. The chances are very good that she will be and the keeper can count on six more weeks of being pampered.
