Somehow the truth hurts, and this may be it.
In the coming New Year, 2012, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address will occur on the same day.
This is an ironic juxtaposition of events.
One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to an insignificant
creature of little intelligence for prognostication.
The other involves a groundhog.

The State of the Union address is scheduled for January 24, 2012.
'nuff said.

Hey-yo! I definitely *agree*!!!!!
No kidding. The truth is that this is a painfully stupid joke, and furthermore, it's also a LIE.
Yet another rightwing FAIL two-fer.
Ding, ding....
It's a better joke than we usually get here.
(Would be a better joke in 2005 or 1985, when it actually made sense.)
Prognostication?
I'll see your creature of little intelligence and raise you one Iraq War.
What the Republicans don't seem to understand (I think it was Jon Stewart who actually said this) is that, in order to tell a good political joke, you first and foremost need to be right. That really seems to be the key element missing from all these right-wing jokes, and this one is a perfect example. POTUS is not an "insignificant" post. And Barack Obama is many things, but unintelligent is definitely not one of them.
Funny how "right" (as in "extreme right") so often seems to be a synonym for "wrong".
I don't think I have ever heard the State of the Union referred to as "prognostication" before. It's basically the national equivalent of looking around your house, assessing its condition, and making a list of which chores need to be done in the near future, right? It's. Not an exact science, but it isn't exactly weather forecasting or trying to analyze the behavior of a small mammal for clues about the temperature a month from now.
