Lightning Round 052014

My house almost got struck by lightning yesterday -- the percussive force of the strike knocked a clock off the wall. Time for a little thundering:

• Kevin Love, reluctant Timberwolf, apparently wants out of Minneapolis. This might be the most doomed franchise ever. I have to figure that the Wolves will trade him for Joe Smith.
• Some weapons-grade sarcasm from America's most beloved politician. As is often the case, she has a good point, which most of her detractors won't see from their houses.
• My beloved Packers take a calculated risk in bringing in a talented but troubled tight end, Colt Lyerla, last seen enjoying some blow. It's evident that the Packers don't think Jermichael Finley is coming back and are willing to take a flyer on an undeniable talent. In the past, the Packers wouldn't get near someone like this. Not sure what it means, but it means something.
• Sometimes the obvious point is the one that must be made. John Fund demonstrates.
• I'll have to come back to this one, but let's just say I'm amused to see that Hannah Nicollet is going to head the Independence Party ticket as the gubernatorial candidate. The first question to ask -- do you fully support the IP platform, especially its visceral reaction to the Citizens United decision?
