I'm Guest Hosting the first hour - "Quick On The UpTake" - because Host Mike McIntee is in Copenhagen for the United Nations Climate Change Conference. We'll be talking with John Van Hecke of Mn2020.org about the local problems created by Gov. T-Bag's Unallotment; CD-03 DFL Candidate Jim Meffert, and we're very glad we'll be talking with Rep. Tim Walz! Last night Rep. Walz hosted a Town Hall about Afghanistan in Mankato; there's a story in the Mankato Free Press.
I'll also be Guest Hosting the second hour, "Minnesota Matters, Tuesday Edition." We're going to talk about breaking news, fisk Katherine Kersten's latest column, and discuss a lawsuit accusing Wells Fargo of misleading some Minnesota non-profit foundations that appeared in last Sunday's print edition of the Strib. Apparently, those local non-profits aren't the only ones offended by Wells Fargo's "stewardship". And, just which foundations in that Strib story, allegedly took a hit because of that "stewardship"? The story stated that one is the Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi Foundation. Yes, THAT "Ciresi". Seems to me, that Wells Fargo is in a big world of legal hurt. Unfortunately, Mike Ciresi won't be able to call in about that....today. Maybe later; if I were a betting man, I'd bet a bunch that this story isn't going away.
Also expect some snark about how a newspaper can publish some great journalism, like that Wells Fargo story, but also allow Kersten space...
