Tomorrow Is The Feast Day Of St. Phil

Here's my Quote of the Day, actually DUELLING QUOTES from an article that was rightly and fittingly placed on the front page of today’s Livingston County, Michigan Daily Press & Argus:

First, the Aneristic (Greyface) Quote Of The Day:

 

"Groundhogs don't speak to us. We don't believe in that." -- Dana DeBenham, wildlife director at the Howell, MI Nature Center and evidently quite a pickle puss

 

And here we have the Eristic Rebuttal:

 

"Groundhogese isn't like learning French or Spanish. If you have the gene, it's fun and the day serves the purpose it was invented for. If you don't have the gene, we'd just as soon you stay away and keep to yourself." -- Bill Cooper, Punxsutawney Groundhog Club Inner Circle president, "whose ears will be privy to Phil's declaration" -- Kristofer Karol, ace reporter for the Press & Argus

I HARDLY FEEL IT’S A COINCIDENCE that the first person I discussed this with told me that not only was she born on Groundhog Day, but she grew up only a stone’s throw from Punxsutawney Phil’s sacred temple in Pennsylvania. This information came about 1 minute from the news flash that her boss, in whose office we were standing, is married to someone who was ALSO born on the Feast Day Of St. Phil, the Weather-Predicting Groundhog.

EVERY DAY that someone takes time out of the usual busy day to investigate, speculate about, comment on and PUBLISH FINDINGS on something like the precognitive power of pudgy Midwestern rodents is proof that CHAOS IS WINNING.

Let me add: I THINK WE KNOW WHOSE SIDE KRISTOFER KAROL IS ON.
