Happy Groundhog Day. Is it really happy though? Today's "holiday" is a stupid excuse for a world fixated on tradition. While tradition is important sometimes, waiting up for a rodent to determine if we're going to have six more weeks of winter (like always), or by some miracle will winter end sooner (cause a rodent knows better than scientists). Have you ever read the short story "The Lottery" it is very good and sends a powerful message to us all. Also one can read about the Naciremas.

Last night the NFL team the Stealers, won the Super Bowl for a record sixth time. Also the commercials this year (for those of you who don't know, these are usually the best new commercials) sucked. Granted there were a few good commercials, but the majority were terrible. Perhaps it's just another sign of the times.

Leading into the next topic, zoos across the country are being forced to cut spending. Iceland elected its first woman Prime Minister after its former Prime Minister resigned due to the country's economic decline. What once was one of the richest countries in the world has gone bankrupt due the times. CEO's however still manage to bring in big bonuses. The companies claim that the executives have to be paid so they don't leave. This statement is flawed for two reasons:
1) The executives put you in the hole so how good can they really be?
2) Where else are they going to go?! If they wont accept their pay cuts then let them go find a different company looking to hire a new executive for their prices.
