But What Does He Think About The Wolves Zone Defense?

While driving home from work today I was listening to a replay of Hugh Hewitt plowing through the highlights of Western Civilization in six hours with Professor Larry P. Arnn from Hillsdale College. During a commercial break I turned my knob to Bob I flipped over to KFAN, a local all sports station, expecting to here some post-season analysis of the Timberwolves. Instead former Star Tribune sports columnist, now talk show host, and one of Saint Paul's favorite whipping boys, Dan Barreiro was conducting an interview. The guest was talking politics and sounded very familiar. Boringly familiar.

I just about drove off the road when I realized who it was. John Kerry. Yes, presumptive Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry appeared on a local sports talk station today. Granted, Kerry is visiting Minneapolis later this week and obviously wanted to get some advance pub. And without appearing on MPR, he could not have picked a less threatening venue on the local airwaves. But still, The Dan Barreiro Show hardly seems like an appropriate place to hear a man who might well be the next President of the United States.

"Coming up in the third hour, an interview with John Kerry followed by our weekly update from Wolves mascot Crunch."
