I used to dream all night of a day that was gone....

In what will be the last Sunday program in the Patriot bunker until after Labor Day, I've decided to bring in a co-host. From 1:00 until 3:00 PM on this week's edition of The Closer, my friend and blogging colleague Mark Heuring (he of Mr. Dilettante's Neighborhood) will be in studio!

In the first hour, we'll look back at the Tuesday primary races in both Minnesota and Wisconsin and then look forward to what implications they'll have on the general election in November. We'll also discuss bumbling VP Joe Biden and what his role may be going forward.

Also, the pro football season is upon us, so Mark and I will break down the only NFL division that matters, which is the NFC North. We'll take hour number two and spend one segment on each of the four clubs, going in alphabetical order with Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay and Minnesota.


So please give us 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.

For mobile phone users, there are cool apps available for iphone, Blackberry and Android!

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

Until then.....
