   This isn't for True North, this is just me talking about the Honorable
   Tim Pawlenty, Governor of the State of Minnesota.
   That's right, I said Governor Pawlenty. I borrowed Eric Escola's
   "Prime Minister" characterization four years ago when Pawlenty was
   surprisingly outmaneuvered by the DFL, capped by his infamous "Health
   Impact Fee" tax ruse.
   I think we can say, indeed he said it himself just this month that he
   learned his lesson, that he got absolutely nothing for those pointless
   concessions to the DFL. His record since then reflects this sadder but
   wiser realization. His performance this year was exemplary in fact, to
   the point where I will retire my Prime Minister chiding, granting him
   my field promotion to Governor of the great State of Minnesota.
   In this, the most reckless and irresponsible biennium in DFL history,
   Governor Pawlenty stood tall, stood firm, and stood for all of
   Minnesota. Well done, sir.
