Ladies and Gentlemen, yours truly - the ol' TwoPutter - is Guest Hosting this afternoon's Tuesday Edition of "Quick On The UpTake" from 5:00 to 6:00pm on AM-950 KTNF, The Voice of Minnesota. Mike McIntee is taking some well-earned time time off. I'll be joined in studio by the intrepid political analyst, Dusty Trice!
In addition to talking about important news, we'll take a break from politics to have an in-studio conversation with one of Minnesota's Citizen-Soldiers - Major Rickert - which we feel is fitting as a tribute to those who have worn the uniform on this day after Memorial Day. Major Rickert will be talking, among other things, about the recent alert that as many as 2,700 fellow Minnesotans may be deployed to Iraq and Kuwait as that war winds down.
We'll also be joined in-studio by candidate for congress in Minnesota's 2nd District, Dan Powers.
Mike is actually taking this week off; tomorrow MPP's very own The Big E will be behind the microphone, and I'll be covering again on Thursday and Friday!
While I'll let The Big E write about what he's got planned for tomorrow's show, I do want to let folk know what we've got for Thursday - you're not going to want to miss it!

"Quick On The UpTake" Host Mike McIntee is busily preparing for the last Political Party State Convention; the IP Party is meeting in Bloomington tomorrow. I'll be joined in studio by Spot from The Cucking Stool!
And, to no surprise, we'll be talking about The State Supreme Court's spanking of Gov. TBag for creating a problem by 1- signing the next biennium's spending bills into law and then 2- vetoing the revenue bill to match "income" to said lawfully-enacted spending bills ("balance the budget") and then 3- violating state law by unilaterally slashing spending on bills TBag just signed; which, of course, was 4- BEFORE the start of the next biennium.
Spot has several great posts over at The Cucking Stool on TBag getting spanked; you'll want to listen in to Spot's take on this! As always, call 952-946-6205 to join the conversation!

Ladies and Gentlemen, yours truly - the ol' TwoPutter - is Hosting tonight's Friday Edition of "Minnesota Matters" on AM-950 KTNF, The Voice of Minnesota for the final regularly scheduled time. The Minnesota Matters Show had a different host every weeknight, and it was fun while it lasted. Due to changes in the Weeknight Hosts' personal schedules, AM 950 has decided to go with one Host for every night/all week, starting Monday. So, it's back to the bench for pinch-hit/fill-in duty for me! Such is the bidness o' radio... On tonight's last regularly scheduled show, I'll be joined in studio by MPP's very own Big E and ace field reporter/analyst, Dusty Trice!
In addition to talking about breaking news, and absentee Gov. TBag getting caught with his hands in the cookie jar, we'll be talking about New Media - including blogging and social media sites. Plus, we'll be having a conversation with DFL Gubernatorial Candidate, Matt Entenza!

Especially because the following quote is sure to be discussed:
"Children who are victims of failed personal responsibility are not my problem, nor are they the problem for our government." -- Majority Leader Tim Pawlenty, April 2001 - as quoted in the Aitkin Independent Newspaper (entire column available here)

(Somehow, I think Dusty might be bringing this up on the radio tonight, on AM950, at 6:00 pm.... - promoted by TwoPuttTommy)
I've got a bone to pick with Maureen Reed. Yesterday Maureen Reed's campaign sent out a really whiney email implying that people are trying to twist her campaign's record. I figured I should probably chime in, you know because I'm bored and whatnot.
In the email Reed sent out she says people are claiming that she'll run as an independent and corrects the record saying that she's running as a 'Proud DFLer'. Ok fine, she PREVIOUSLY ran as an independent and claims rather boldly that she can rally independents. The reality is that her 2006 run dramatically underperformed other independents who've run in CD6. I don't know who or what a Binkowski is, but it seems to know more about reaching independents in CD6 than Maureen Reed.
About that independent record of hers... It's probably the reason Tim Pawlenty is waltzing off into the 2012 Presidential campaign sunset right now. Sure T-Paw bested Mike Hatch by 21,108 votes, and much of the blame can be pinned on the Hatch campaign, BUT the 141,735 votes that Maureen Reed helped peel away certainly can't add much to her proud DFLer status. By my count that's 120,000 reasons for us to blame Maureen Reed for Pawlenty's re-election.

In addition to talking about news, we're going to be interviewing Jacob Reitan about what has to be done to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell so our homosexual brothers and sisters can defend our great country without having to hide who they are --- and one of those things that has to be done, to get this done, is there are a whole bunch of Democratic Party Senators and CongressCritters need to GET A SPINE.
We'll also be talking with Eliot Seide, Executive Director of AFSCME Minnesota Council 5. Last Wednesday, at a Labor Rally at the Capitol in St. Paul, Mr. Seide held a model of a human backbone and told Minnesota's legislators to GET A SPINE.

In addition to talking about news, we're going to be interviewing best-selling author Thomas Frank about his latest book, The Wrecking Crew - How Conservatives Ruined Government, Enriched Themselves, And Beggared The Nation". For years, I've referred to the previous administration as "Boy Blunder And The Plunderers." In fact, until the misAdministration of Bush The Lesser, I never thought I'd see the day I'd actually miss Richard Milhous Nixon. I received a copy of "The Wrecking Crew" for Christmas, and discovered a book that concisely explains how and why the GreedOverPrinciples party wrought the damage of they did.
Then we're going to take a break from politics, and talk with a pilot from Minnesota's Air National Guard, who recently returned from a two week disaster relief deployment, flying supplies frrom Puerto Rico to Haiti. The discussion with The Good Captain will be strictly non-partisan. Politics has no place with regards to respecting our fellow citizen-soldiers and supporting the job they do. Our military is all volunteer, and the people that signed up did so knowing that the price they may pay while wearing a uniform might just be the ultimate sacrifice. Anybody with any problem with what our citizen-soldiers do, needs to take it up with our elected officials - NOT the brave men and women wearing our nation's uniform. Period. End of story.
And after that conversation, it's back to politics!

Visit PaulThissen.com for more information about this great candidate for Governor!
And we'll also talk a little about GOPer Allen Quist, who has notoriously made national news for saying this:
"Our country is being destroyed. Every generation has had to fight the fight for freedom... Terrorism? Yes. That's not the big battle. The big battle is in D.C. with the radicals. They aren't liberals. They are radicals. Obama, Pelosi, Walz: They're not liberals, they're radicals. They are destroying our country." - Allen Quist, 07 Dec 2009
Ed Schultz promised to devote some more national time concerning Allen "ChickenHawk" Quist's disgusting smear tonight, on MSNBC's "The Ed Show" - it'll be interesting to hear if what we talk about, Ed talks about, too.
