Is it 2006 already?

Governor Pawlenty continues to work on his image as a moderate by requiring state agencies to reduce air pollution. First the Northstar line, and now this. It makes one wonder if we have traveled through time to see the governor's re-election campaign in two years.

I'm all for reducing pollution and being energy efficient, and so I applaud these recommendations, even if they are somewhat less than earth-shattering. However, considering how much Pawlenty has tried to move away from his conservative beliefs since he was elected governor, I think something is going on with the former House Majority Leader. Perhaps Timmy had his brain transreversed by aliens like Steve Dallas.
