Colleague Eric Ringham snapped this picture today of the window of an area book chain, reminding us that we can pick our friends, but we can't pick our neighbors.

That's Gov. Pawlenty and Keith Richards, side by side, which is likely as close as they'll ever actually get.

Last night, Stephen Colbert worked Pawlenty's book and his movie-like trailer over a bit, saying the governor may be running for president of the next Transformers movie.
