I haven't been fond of much that Pawlenty has done since his election, but I'm a fan of the Casino idea. It's much more fun for people to give their money to the government through gambling than taxes I guess. There's also much less paperwork for most folks.
Interesting DVDs coming out soon: Orgazmo and a great big fancy Invader Zim boxed set (and a cheaper version for people who already bought the collections).
