Groundhog Day and the State of the Union

I'm not watching the state of the union speech tonight, at least not live, for at least two reasons:

First, I don't like wasting all the time watching people applaud after every few lines of a speech. It's much faster to read it or tape it and fast-forward through the applause.

Second, it's Groundhog Day. I'm going to watch the Bill Murray movie with my family this evening. I'm also hoping to feed them what I'll call "mystery meat" for dinner, to encourage their imaginations. (No, it won't be groundhog, but yes, I've eaten groundhog.)
