February 2, 2011 is a big news day.
- It's the day before Chinese New Year, the Year of the Rabbit. Too bad I'm not Chinese.
- It's the day of my 299th post, which is just before my Big 300th Post Spectacular Spectacular. Stay tuned.
- It's "Groundhog Day", where meteorological prognostication merges with the logarythmic flow of Bill Murray's motion picture residuals.
Groundhog Day is a North American tradition. The groundhog, a large rodent, emerges from hibernation this day of the year to check out the weather. Sooner or later, he's going to have to come up against Al Gore ("An Incovenient Truth" [2006]).
Recently, the weather has been big in the news: snowstorms, floods, hurricanes, and more. Is this due to global warming as a product of human pollution? I really cannot say. There are more people in the world, more media coverage, and way more Al Gore than ever before. Is the climate changing? I don't see why not. But can we do anything to prevent climate change? Yes. You can hire talented artists to draw more political cartoons.
