We don’t delve into politics in this forum, but should John McCain select Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty — widely believed to be on the nominee’s “short list” of VP candidates — as his running mate, and should the ticket prevail in November, it’s necessarily the case that the U.S. government would have its highest ranking advocate of pond hockey . . .¬† perhaps ever. Pawlenty¬†shares his reflections on our great outdoor game in the highly anticipated documentary ‘Pond Hockey,’ to be screened around the country and released on DVD this autumn.
It would also appear that the new Vice President would have difficulty meeting some government appointments in the dead of winter.
We could use more such governance, no?
I’m no single-issue voter, but the pick of Pawlenty could make me one.

Hockey & Humor….my favorite combo
Are you serious? Or is this post a joke? It’s a joke, right?
No joke — there really is a documentary on pond hockey coming out.
The Pond Hockey tournament in Minneapolis is a a big deal…a hundred or so rinks set up on Lake Calhoun.
When is the movie coming to DC?
Paul,
We hope to have info on that reasonably soon. We do know that the producers are interested in bringing the film to D.C. this fall.
Would that mean an ice rink built in the basement of the White House, and little league games down there like the t-ball games now?
@Grooven: Probably not, as the Veep doesn’t have an office in the White House. However, he does have one right next door, at the Old Executive Office Building (or did, during G.H.W. Bush’s admin (for Veep Quayle, and I suspect that hasn’t changed). But why build a new rink? Just give the street hockey games that take place on Pa. Ave. at night some more exposure.
Rumor has it that sometimes, at night when they’re bored, the Secret Service will flip the sirens on their cruisers on when someone scores.
