How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad?

After last week's broadcast with limited voice capacity, I am back to full strength for today's installment of The Closer. I will be on the air this afternoon from 1:00 until 3:00 pm Central Time.

At 1:30 we'll be graced by our weekly visit from Miss Minneapolis 2014 Julia Schliesing. Now that she isn't in the midst of training for an upcoming pageant, Julia will likely have less of a filter starting this week. As such, she'll talk about whatever she darn well pleases.

Then at 2:15, basketball wonk Mike McCollow will check to discuss another ring for the San Antonio Spurs dynasty, the persistent rumors of the Timberwolves trading superstar Kevin Love and prospects for the upcoming NBA draft.

In the non-guest segments, I'll weigh in on the continued buffoonery that has marred the first (and hopefully last) term of Gov. Mark Dayton.

So please give me call at (651) 289-4488 if you'd like to discuss any of the topics I plan on addressing. You can also text comments/questions to (651) 243-0390.

You can listen live in the Twin Cities at AM 1280 on your radio dial. In and out of the Minneapolis-St Paul area, you can listen to the program on the Internet by clicking this link, or check us out via iheart radio. 

Even though I have a face for radio, there is a UStream channel where you can watch the broadcast, if you so desire. Check it out here.  

And if you're so inclined, follow along on Twitter at #narn or "Like" our Facebook page.

Until then.....
