Ladies and Gentlemen, yours truly – the ol’ TwoPutter – is hosting the Friday Edition of “Minnesota Matters” on AM-950 KTNF, The Voice of Minnesota! The Friday Edition runs from 6:00 to 7pm. So, tune in your radio today to AM-950, or listen live on your computer, here. Joining in-studio will be MnProgressive Project’s very own, The Big E!
We’ll be interviewing Doug Johnson, President of the Minnesota Farmers Union. A little background: Senator Al Franken co-sponsored legislation requiring “Country Of Origin Labeling” for dairy products, which definitely affects Minnesota’s dairy farmers.
Coleen Rowley, Time Magazine’s 2002 Person Of The Year, will be calling in with an update on upcoming Peace Movement events, such as tomorrow’s End The War March in UpTown Minneapolis (Hennepin & Lagoon) at 1:00pm. Plus, Coleen just might have some information on an upcoming “fundraiser” that just might be headlined by Condoleeza Rice.
Topics we might be talking about include the war in Afghanistan and Specialist George W. Cauley of Walker, who died Oct. 10 at Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan as a result of injuries sustained from an Improvised Explosive Device on October 7th in Helmand Province; the trial results in the Kevin Ring Trial – just one part of the continuing Jack Abramoff Scandal/Saga; MN2020’s Property Tax Report, ; and a couple of blog stories we found the most interesting this week – and why!
We’ll definitely play “False Or False Witness!” where one lucky caller will have to correctly identify if a quote I read was actually uttered by Michele Bachmann (answer “False Witness!”) or if yours truly, the ol’ TwoPutter, simply made it up (answer “false”). The fabulous prize awarded is one copy of Bill Prendergast’s exceptional comic book: False Witness! The Michele Bachmann Story (Part 1).
The call-in number to play “False or False Witness!” and to participate in the on-air conversation is 952-946-6205!
So, again, tune in the radio today to AM-950, or listen live on your computer, here.

TwoPuttTommy On Your Radio – Tonight!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I’ll be sitting next to Host Mark Heaney tonight on “The Mark Heaney Show” from 6 to 7 pm on AM-950 KTNF – “The Voice Of Minnesota.”
I’m not sure what all we’ll be talking and taking listener calls about; however, I am sure at some point we’ll be talking about “CommentGate” – the GOP Smear of GOP State Rep. Laura Brod – link here for Brian Falldin’s round-up of CommentGate. DustyTrice.com has a good wrap-up, too, and I’ve written about CommentGate here, “Who’s IP Is It?” and here, “…a Republican staffer in the capital…” and here, “Does Andy Gildea Still Work In Rep. Marty Seifert’s Capitol Office?” and again today here, “Another Piece In The CommentGate Puzzle”.
It is indeed a sordid tale of the GOPer’s dirty politicking, but then again: you simply cannot spell “dirty politicking” without “GOP.”
So at 6:00 pm tune in the ol’ radio to 950 on the am dial, or listen via your computer.
