Baseball season is here, so it was good of Governor Dayton to serve up what has to be
the hanging curveball of the year:
A frustrated Gov. Mark Dayton said Thursday that charitable gaming representatives were not “on the same planet” with state officials in trying to resolve a funding problem that is stalling plans for a new Minnesota Vikings stadium.
“I don’t see the charities and the [state] Commissioner of Revenue, Myron Frans, on the same planet in terms of their analysis,” the DFL governor told reporters.
Too easy. Waaaaay too easy.

I know - I had the same thought when I saw the headline yesterday! All kinds of planetary ways you can go with this from the obvious, "What planet is he on/from?"; to the sophmoric, "Gov. Dayton, speaking from Uranus, said..."; to the Sci-Fi "The Vikings are a harsh mistress"; to the astrological, "when the Dome is in the 7th House Committee and Jupiter aligns with Sambuca...".
Trouble is, even a hanging curve can catch you flat-footed, especially when you were looking for the screwball.
My first thought was that the Guv is the vex-er not the vex-ee. Multiple bluffs that we have a deal. Ball's in the rough 170 yards out and he wants a gimme.

Exactly.
