This is the second time I’ve posted this comment, which irritates me, because it was a long comment. Grrrr.
Anyway, Punxsatawney Phil saw his shadow today, which of course means we should expect another six weeks of winter.
The New York Times, however, had the audacity to posit a conflicting view vis a vis Staten Island Chuck.
Okay. There are three problems with this:
1. Why does New York City have to have a stake in everything. Can’t they let Bumblefuck, Pennsylvania get all the glory for once? Would it kill them?
2. Phil may be less popular (he was “booed” today), predicting winter some 80% of the time, but really, its the sign of an accurate and honest messenger. How many of us living in the frigid midwest or the frozen seaboard have ever known Spring to be “right around the corner” from February 2nd? If we’re lucky spring peeks out around mid-March, and in Michigan, it takes until April.
3. I don’t care what New Yorkers (Gemma excepted) might say: Landfills and Republicans to not make Staten Island the “boonies.”
