The entire state having clotted its brain with cheesesteak grease is perhaps the only thing that can truly explain “one of the strangest uses of $4,157 in taxpayer money in Pennsylvania history.” Ladies and gents, presenting “a 6-foot groundhog rapping on the merits of choosing a career in the health professions,” sure to brighten your day.

Rendell said in a news release touting the video, in which he makes a freakish animatronic cameo. “And who’s better than a giant rapping groundhog to get the attention of young people?”

I have never been prouder to come from Pennsylvania.
