There are no guests scheduled as I write this, but I anticipate that can change given the fluid situation with the MN Legislature and Gov. Mark Dayton still haggling over a biennium budget. We may get a legislator or two to call in or maybe even a real media person!
In addition to news at the MN State Capitol, I also plan on discussing the Tom Brady suspension, Mark Halperin's racially tinged interview with Ted Cruz, the George Stephanopolous controversy, etc.
So please give me a 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.....

Since I was driving while you were doing basically the first part of the show two comments.
One, lets not forget that part of the reason for why the gas tax increase in 2008 hasn't worked the DFL got the state in 2008 to pass a constitutional amendment which in effect diverted millions of dollars per year from roads to mass transit projects. It might be nice (especially if it's being delayed to next year) to ask Republicans in the state about the diversion and the harm it has done.
Two, as part of the NFL brand being hurt keep in mind in 2014 as a Vikings fan I was suffering from the team not being as good as it could be because the NFL because they didn't like AP harming a child said he couldn't play and only played one game. Yet the NFL was cool based on the fact they took no action before the Super Bowl was that it was okay for the Patriots to cheat again to try to win a Super Bowl. Was Brady suspended for the Super Bowl?

Yes! I had completely forgotten about that. I recall telling people to vote against it since it was nothing but a stealth tax. Thanks for the reminder.

What, so they should have just suspended Brady for the SB without an investigation to prove he was complicit in deflating footballs? All due respect, that's just asinine.
Brad:
I think given that there were two weeks before the super bowl the NFL could've if they tried had gotten the investigation done. After all it was already being talked about the day of the game.
As for it being asinine what I said AP went through the court process and could prove in effect that he wasn't convicted of harming a child yet the NFL kept him out of the NFL while Super Bowl winner Tom Brady who the NFL has said is a cheater gets a suspension that is less than AP.
That is asinine to use your term.

It took three months to come up with what they did in the Wells Report (which wasn't a lot, IMO). If the league is going to suspend ANY player for the Super Bowl, they better have ZERO doubt of a said player's guilt. No way that was happening in two weeks.
As for it being asinine what I said AP went through the court process and could prove in effect that he wasn't convicted of harming a child yet the NFL kept him out of the NFL.....
Incorrect. AP not playing was the Vikings' decision. He was going to be activated the week after the child abuse allegations broke but the Vikes relented once it was going to cost them financially via lost sponsorships, etc. After that, the Vikings chose to place him on the NFL's exempt list where he'd still be paid until the court case was adjudicated. And no one had to "prove" AP harmed his child since he admitted from the outset that he caused the boy's injuries.
....while Super Bowl winner Tom Brady who the NFL has said is a cheater gets a suspension that is less than AP.
Technically incorrect. AP only ended up actually being suspended WITHOUT PAY for 2-3 games (Brady got 4). The Vikings deactivated Peterson for 1 game and then he was on the "exempt list" (again, receiving his full salary) for 12-13 games.
Facts matter.
