Hard To Believe It Was Four Years Ago

Tuesday, August 28th, 2012

Chad the Elder takes us down memory lane, back to four years ago, when his night of the RNC got washed out by a passing hurricane.

And it led me through my own little set of flashblacks- all the time I spent covering the convention in my city back then, and the unruly guests we had.

Good times.

Good times.

A Day Without NARN

Saturday, August 25th, 2012

There’ll be no Northern Alliance Radio Network today.  The Minnesota Voters’ Alliance bought the time this week for both the Saturday and Sunday shows.  So Ed, Brad and I have the weekend off.

And I’m not gonna say I don’t enjoy it!

By the way, join the NARN all next week at the Minnesota State Fair.

So join us all week on the Northern Alliance Radio Network!

Jack Tomczak is from The Late Debate.

We also featured Dave Osmek, who is running for Senate nomination in SD33 against Connoe Doepke, and Cindy Pugh, who is running for the endorsement against Steve Smith in HD33B.

And here was my piece on the rumors in the 4th CD.

Mark Your Calendars

Thursday, May 3rd, 2012

This weekend’s gonna be a fun Northern Alliance Radio Network.

For starters, I’ll have Jack Tomczak and Ben Kruse from “The Late Debate” on the show to talk about…well, lots of stuff.  It’s been a busy month for Jack and Ben.  ’nuff said.

After that?  We’ll have Dave Osmek and Cindy Pugh.  They’re running for the GOP endorsement against (respectively) Connie Doepke and Steve Smith, out in the western subs.  If you want a more conservative MNGOP, this is where it starts – tossing the moderates, electing the conservatives!

Also, we’re a week and a half away, but I’ll be doing a special Mother’s Day broadcast, filling in for Brad Carlson on “The Closer”.  It’s gonna be a fun one!

So tune in Saturday on the Northern Alliance Radio Network.

Back On The Night Shift

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

Tonight, I’ll be sitting in for Jack Tomczak on The Late Debate, on the 95.9 in metro Anoka/Ramsey.  TLD is the second-best franchise in Twin Cities conservative alternative media (and hence the second-best franchise in the Twin Cities media) behind the NARN (who else?) and I’m happy to pitch in.

Tonight, we’ll be talking about the foolishness of caving into the demands of a mentally ill troll, because their “promises” for relenting are carved in sand, notwithstanding the fact that his FCC complaint is a fraud and a sham that I predict will get politely ignored, and the very fact that he thinks he can rescind the complaint is itself an indication of his bad faith and abuse of the system, since the FCC rules on offenses against the public airwaves, not on individuals’ ruffled feathers  with Ron Paul supporter Corey Sax about this past month and its impact on the Republican Party of Minnesota.

And in the second hour, we’ll have a True North round table, with a group of writers from True North joining me to talk about the state of the state, the party, conservatism, and our publication.

That’s on The Late Debate – the best way there is to tide over the time between NARN broadcasts!

Anyone Know A Good CPA?

Monday, April 23rd, 2012

I’m posting a request on behalf of a good friend of the Northern Alliance broadcast, who is trying to find…

…a CPA who will not charge me months months rent to help with my taxes? International taxes are a mess, I’ve tried and tried to figure out the IRS site only to cry and get sick, literally when i look at it. Any Help would be appreciated

If you are, or know, a CPA who can work with someone with not-unlimited means to resolve this issue, please send an email to “Feedbackinthedark@yahoo.com”.  I’ll forward the information to our friend.

Thanks.
