“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

It's Groundhog Day.....does anybody care?


I know for the folks in Pennsylvania, Groundhog Day is a big deal, mostly because of marketing and paraphernalia opportunities. They make a huge deal and have an hours-long run-up to the big reveal, only to have to drag this poor creature from his hutch and pretend that something happens, when those guys have already pre-written the declaration of the weather.

I guess the whole production brings in a lot of money to the town of Punxsutawney but, for me it's unwatchable TV. Just sayin'.

That was today? I'm in Batumi, Georgia with 8 inches of snow. None of the Georgians could ever remember snow in this city and it's palm trees and cacti. Must be global warming?

BTW Batumi is on the Black Sea just a stone's throw from Turkey. A beach resort covered in snow!
