Ugh! It looks like we are in for six more weeks of winter! Old Punxsutawney Phil crawled out of his borrow this morning and saw his shadow. Political cartoonist Clifford Berryman had the right idea in 1918. After a brutal winter in DC, Berryman made sure to take special precautions in his cartoon so that the groundhog would not see his shadow. Why didn’t the Groundhog Club think of that?!
