A late-breaking development:

A Pennsylvania law firm has announced it will be defending Phil, writing: Please be advised that Nurick Law Group, LLC proudly represents the interests of Phil Sowerby, a/k/a “Punxsutawney Phil Sowerby” a/k/a “Punxsutawney Phil” (hereinafter “Punxsutawney Phil”) his predecessors and progeny, for the purposes of this preposterous prosecution and persecution. Punxsutawney Phil provides (primarily Pennsylvanians) preeminent prognostication predicated on the position of his shadow."

OK...now we would be seriously griping here if Phil had seen his shadow and we had a torch in March like last year...;-)

For clarification, I went to Punxsutawney on February 2nd this year. Personally met with Phil and his co-handler, John Griffiths. I saw Phil see his shadow (along with my 20,000 closest friends at Gobbler's Knob). Phil was set-up.

Ridiculous! I thought this was a joke until you linked to the Washington Post. Just when you think you can't be surprised by a lawsuit...


I'm sure glad he was wrong though! ;)
