Isn't a marmot the same thing as a groundhog?

FTFA: The bill doesn't give marmots any weather forecasting duties

Looks like Punxsutawney Phil dodged a bullet.

All groundhogs are marmots. Not all marmots are groundhogs. A marmot is a member of genus Marmota. A groundhog is a woodchuck is Marmota monax in particular.

They should pick the Arctic Ground Squirrel instead.

If Sarah Palin sees her shadow, it's four more years of Democratic Presidency.

So if the marmot freezes to the road, there will be six more weeks of winter?

Don't they have a governor to impeach?

// OMG their legislature is bi-cameral!! It's a crime against nature!!

Dr Dreidel: Don't they have a governor to impeach?

For what? Being stupid? Last I heard, that wasn't an impeachable offense. Generally, stupid governors resign instead. Except for Blagojevich, but he was extra-stupid, even for a Democrat.

WTF is wrong with that state?

Meanwhile, Palin's office is claiming she'd didn't say she was going to reject some of the stimulus.

Oh good. I've found the rare "Sarah Palin smear thread".

Just from reading the article and seeing that it has nothing to do with Sarah Palin, I knew that wouldn't stop the braindead Left from trying to smear their own feces on her good name.


But, the thing about that is...

You're all covered in feces and either you don't mind it, or you can't smell yourselves, but take it from me...you stink.

WTF is your obsession about Sarah Palin? Why are you so terrified of her? Seriously? She was an unknown politician that was picked by a loser candidate because he stupidly thought that Democrat women would vote for any woman, regardless of her political views and her Party. Yeah, he was that stupid.

 
Harvey Manfrenjensenjen 2009-03-26 12:29:16 PM  
Gotta love it. A couple of weeks ago everyone was biatching about those who voted against "Pi Day" in Congress. "What's the big deal! Come on, guys, have some fun!" Now it's, "hey, why are you guys wasting valuable time voting on stupid things like this?".

We get the government we deserve.

Alaska is associated with their "leader". Strange topic, I know.

her good name
Anything but. We could be calling her a retarded, unintentionally manipultive political she-baitch representative of all that is wrong with the republican party by simply her presence in politics, but we aren't. We're simply making fun of another blatant Ms. South Carolina.

Crude: Yeah, he was that stupid.
They even had better women to choose.
She could have rejected the nomination. From the way she governs, she doesn't seem fit for either position anyways.

Lighten up, Francis.

There are no groundhogs in Alaska how ever Sara Palin has agreed to pull her head out of her ass once a year.

lajimi:

Not the Palin pic I was looking for, but it'll do, check.

Check.

Check.

I know its complicated but I'll try to explain.

It's hilarious.

This is actually pretty cool. There's also a bill around to abolish day light savings which I hope passes. Now if we could only rename some of the streets in North Pole so the poor people that live there won't be so inclined to kill themselves because of the 365 christmas.

So, you jump in the thread to see if there are any mentions of Sarah Palin. You find two offhand comments. Then you go off on a rant about "obsession."

I think we know who is obsessed with her, you stalwart defender of her honor. She'll definitely sleep with you when she learns of your brave deeds on her behalf.

They're afraid that after 4 years of Obamas unchecked devastation on the US economy and his power grab over civilian businesses that people might be ready for anything but Obama.

This country needed her in the last election and now people are realizeing that, therefore she must be repeatedly attacked byt he people who are -D minded at ANY cost lest they have to admit they were wrong.

...and we like kelp and we like moose
and we like deer and we like marmots
and we like all the fluffy animals

we really like the moon.

And let's also not forget--let's not f*cking forget, Dude--that keeping wildlife, an amphibious uh rodent, for uh, domestic, you know, within the city--that isn't legal either.
