Groundhog: The Other Pork

Punxsutawney Phil -- the weather forcasting groundhog who looks for his shadow every Groundhog's Day -- is coming out of his hole early to lobby Washington. He's at the center of a controversy over pork barrel spending. There's a $100,000 grant in the omnibus spending bill for his museum.
