Alright, this wasn't really taken today... but a helpful tip, if you are drinking anywhere but a wine event and see something like this - stop. As point of fact, this is the Hazlitt Red Cat. He may not be able to predict that global warming is going to curtail this half-assed winter, but he makes a wine with mystical powers - and he could quickly dispatch that famous, sciaphobic rodent if he so chose.
From what I hear, Punxsutawney Phil has only predicted an early spring (as he did this year) 14/110 times - the previous time being in 1999. Evidently there are at least 16 other groundhogs famous for their forecasting. This doesn't include Claude the Crawfish of Louisiana (I always knew they were a bit off down there). Getting back to the point, I propose to compare Phil and Red Cat via their poetry. Let's see what Phil has to offer:
El Nino has caused high winds, heavy snow, ice and freezing temperatures in the west.
Here in the East with much mild winter weather we have been blessed.
Global warming has caused a great debate.
This mild winter makes it seem just great.
On this Groundhog Day we think of one thing.
Will we have winter or will we have spring?
On Gobbler's Knob I see no shadow today.
I predict that early spring is on the way.
Hmmm. Boooring. How about Red Cat?
Red Cat. Red Cat.
It's an aphrodisiac.
Red Cat. Red Cat.
It'll get you in the sack.
I think we have a winner.
