Somebody tell me why I work so hard for you......

There are no NFL games scheduled today for the first time since last summer, so why not indulge in today's edition of "The Closer?" As usual, we will be on the air from 1:00 until 3:00 PM Central Time.

At 1:15, Andrew Hasek, who is chairman of the Minnesota College Republicans, will be in studio. We'll chat about what the organization is up to these days as well as its role in Minnesota politics. We'll also likely discuss the future for his generation especially in light of an ever evolving job market.

Then at 2:00, MN GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott Honour will call in to the program. Scott will discuss his campaign thus far as well as the what he's learning in his first foray into politics.

In the non-guest segments, I'll discuss some of the latest local and national political (and non-political) news.

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.  

For mobile phone users, there are 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.....
