First Annual Biggest Baby of the Week Award of the Day

The top leaders of the Minnesota House and Senate have begun talking up a special legislative session to consider sports stadiums and other unfinished business, but a spokesman for Gov. Tim Pawlenty on Monday essentially advised legislators to chill out.

"It's only been a month and two days since the second-longest special session in state history ended," said Brian McClung, Pawlenty's press secretary. "The governor has said he'd be willing to call a special session that is controlled, productive and limited, but for now we think legislators should enjoy the few remaining days of a beautiful Minnesota summer. We can revisit these issues after Labor Day."

Perhaps the governor should get a different job if he wants more time to enjoy the summer. Perhaps the governor should become a teacher. Perhaps if the governor doesn't think teachers make enough he should give more money to education. Perhaps the governor should stop whining and get to work when there is work that needs to be done he needs to figure out how to screw Minnesota taxpayers to build stadiums. Perhaps the Armchair Politician should stop its own whining and just present the governor's award:
