Groundhogs don't have much impact around this part of the country. Groundhogs, also known as woodchucks, are mainly found in the eastern and midwestern parts of the United States. In the West, they are confined to Alaska, western Canada, and northern Washington state.

Frankly,

few people care about our worsening economy or worsening situation in Iraq. What they REALLY care about is whether Britney Spears is "fat."

She isn't, but no matter what her body size, she still can't sing worth a shit.

It would be nice if Britney Spears could stay out of the news:

Federline, 29, will present his case at Los Angeles Superior Court on September 17. In it he will claim:
# LESBIAN bed-hopping proves Britney is an unfit role model for their kids.
# BOOZING and relentless partying shows her life is still spiralling out of control, and that she's a....
# TERRIBLE mum who treats her boys like toys, according to former aides and security guards.

Key to the case will be the sexy dancer Britney disappeared with after a night out in Copenhagen in May 2004 on her Onyx Hotel tour.

Has Vivi the whippet, missing since escaping from a NYC airport in February 2006, been sighted?

A man saw what he believes to be Vivi on Saturday, just off the west-bound Northern Boulevard exit off the Van Wyck Expressway. He is a limo driver and remembers seeing the flier around La Guardia airport (thanks to our airport team member for making sure the airport lots are always covered).
