Default Groundhog Day

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the
Union Address fall on the same day. As Air America Radio pointed out,
"It is an ironic juxtaposition: one involves a meaningless ritual in
which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication,
and the other involves a groundhog."

Considering the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq I thought they both events involved a Goundhog

So when you said "This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the
Union Address fall on the same day." you were just making conversation?

Because its the only way the joke will work! How the *** would the joke work if it started - this year the state of the union is on tuesday and Groundhog day is on thursday which is an ironic juxtaposition as one......

Not all jokes are true, I know it kills you but a priest, a nun and a rabbi didn't really go into a bar!
