CATFIGHT DEVELOPS OVER GROUNDHOGS

CATFIGHT DEVELOPS OVER GROUNDHOGS

PUNXSATAWNEY, Penn. (Wireless Flash) -- The fur is flying between two cities that hold annual Groundhog Day celebrations. The most publicized town is Punxsatawney, Pennsylvania, which claims its groundhog, Punxsatawney Phil, is the one and only original weather-predicting groundhog. But folks in Lilburn, Georgia, claim their groundhog, General Beauregard Lee, runs rings around Phil and is much more accurate. He's so good that Georgia State University is issuing the "General" an "Honorary Doctorate in Southern Meteorology" on Groundhog Day. As a result of the catfight, both cities refuse to recognize the other city's groundhog and each town is trying to hog Groundhog Day for itself.
