Phil did not see his shadow on Friday which, according to German folklore, means folks can expect an early spring instead of six more weeks of winter.     (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)</p>

    There is no way. That this winter. Is ever. Going to end. As long as this groundhog. Keeps. Seeing his shadow. He has to be stopped.

    And I have to stop him.
