Mike put in yeoman's work over the State Fair's 12 day run and is taking a deserved break - I'm happy to fill-in for him.  Since Mike's passion is citizen journalism, and his show is called "Quick On The Uptake", we're bringing in-studio Jeff Strate, Producer for the DFL's SD42 cable access TV program, "Democratic Visions" - an all volunteer run program.  Below the fold are YouTubes of the Democratic Visions program currently running on Comcast Channel 15 in Hopkins, Minnetonka, Edina, Richfield and Eden Prairie on Wednesdays at 5:30pm and Sundays at 9 pm; present and past programs are available at the Democratic Visions' YouTube Channel.

DFL State Rep. and Gubernatorial Candidate Paul Thissen will be calling in at 5:30 pm, and at 5:45 we'll be joined by MnProgressiveProject's Grace Kelley to talk more about citizen journalism.

The studio call-in number is 952-946-6205; we will be giving away one copy of Bill Prendergast's exceptional comic book:  False Witness! The Michele Bachmann Story (Part 1).

So, tune in the radio today to AM-950, or listen live on your computer, here.

And go beyond the fold; there's three YouTubes you're not going to want to miss!

State Public Defender John Stuart talks about the challenges confronting Minnesota's court system prompted by cuts to the number of public defenders serving the poor.

This video memoriam honors the 10th anniversary of the death of state legislator Willard Munger, Minnesota's "Mr. Environment." The segment features scenes from a documentary-in-progress about Mr. Munger.
