One-- will never know

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?  For one depressed woodchuck, the answer will never be known.  It was announced that Punxsutawney Phil ( or a near relative) couldn't handle the fact that his February prediction had been dreadfully wrong.  The excitement that February day was the beginning of the end.  Each day following, as the cold remained and the snow continued to fall, woodchucks from throughout the country became more and more depressed. Rodent couches were filling up as therapists tried in vain to pull the sad groundhogs out of their sinking holes.  Most were accustomed to using their furry powers to spread the truth in the midst of dark, cold winters.  One brave "chuck" boldly admitted his transgression....

After several sessions, there have been unconfirmed reports that Punxsutawney Phil could not overcome his grief and has reportedly ended his own life.  Interviews with his therapist have revealed that the motive for this alleged suicide may not have been weather related but rather political.  Phil was overcome with the realization that he could, indeed, handle 6 more weeks of winter but he surely would not survive 4 more years of Obama. This report was found in the national newspaper, Hiber Nation!

"This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address occurred on the same day. It was an ironic juxtaposition of events: one involved a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication while the other involved a groundhog."
