You can be the outcast or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love....

Another Sunday means another edition of The Closer. I'll be on the air in my usual time slot of 1:00 until 3:00 PM Central Time. 

If there was ever a week that validated the mainstream media's descent into full-fledged narrative journalism, this past week was it. I'll get into some of the major stories which served to accentuate such standards (or lack thereof). 

At 1:30, fellow Twins rube and 1280 The Patriot promotions guy Ross Brendel will be checking in. We'll discuss the Twins' offseason thus far, including the signing of free agent Torii Hunter, who was perhaps the second most popular Twin over the past 30 years. 

The at 2:15, St. Cloud State University Economics professor and Northern Alliance Radio Network colleague King Banaian will join the program. We'll discuss the Minnesota economic forecast released last week as well as the U.S. recently surpassing the $18 trillion mark on its debt. King also has some valued insights on the latest jobs report as well as surprisingly low gas prices of late. 

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.....
