Groundhog Day and the SOTU ;)

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address occur on the same day. As Air America Radio pointed out, "It is an ironic juxtaposition of events: one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, while the other involves a groundhog."

1. Now THAT is ironic.

Which one is the creature of little intelligence?

My bet's not on the groundhog...
