Soft Soothsayer? You're a Groundhog!

It's old news by now that we're going to have 6 more weeks of winter (well, 5 at this point). What I'd really like to know is why we rely on the foresight of such a fatty mcblubber to predict this seasonal transition? This little guy can barely lift his arms. He is portly and absurdly disproportionate. Acknowledging that he even has a shadow is surprisingly more of a scientific certainty than meteorological prediction.

Sure, Groundhog Day makes for a great Bill Murray movie, but does anyone else other than the upstanding citizens of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania really give mention to this incredibly bulbous fat ball? 

Get the facts for a minute:This is a website that re-tells the real "history" of Groundhog Day.

This little fella is a plump ball of wrong. I don't trust him, but I sure do want to squeeze him.
