Ladies and Gentlemen, yours truly - the ol' TwoPutter - is hosting the Friday Edition of "Minnesota Matters" on AM-950 KTNF, The Voice of Minnesota! So, tune in the radio today to AM-950, or listen live on your computer, here. The Friday Edition runs from 6:00pm to 7:00. Joining in-studio will be fellow blogger Brian Falldin. Dusty Trice will be calling in from GOPer John Kline's Town Farce Hall. Since David Day knows the studio call-in line, I'm sure we'll hear about the Anoka County DFL's 6th Annual Beast Feast, but: that's just a guess.
In 2003, the Minnesota House was controlled by the GOP (Erik Paulsen was the GOP Majority Leader). Matt Entenza's collegues then chose him to be House DFL leader - and now the DFL has an almost veto-proof majority. Matt is now running for governor and will call in around 6:30.
We'll also be talking about the continuing Jack Abramoff Scandal, and we're definitely taking phone calls - the studio call-in number is 952-946-6205 -- and we will be giving away one copy of Bill Prendergast's exceptional comic book: False Witness! The Michele Bachmann Story (Part 1).
So, again, 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!
