Where In The World Is The Northern Alliance?

Tonight, substitute hosting for Hugh Hewitt on the appropriately titled Hugh Hewitt Show. Locally heard on 1280 AM, the Patriot, 5 - 8 PM. Nation-wide on this network of fine broadcasting entities.

Tomorrow, hosting the appropriately titled Northern Alliance Radio Network. 12 Noon - 3 PM, on 1280 AM the Patriot (and streaming live on the Web). Rebroadcast, same station, Sunday night from 9 PM - midnight. And (at last word) rebroadcast again from midnight to 2 AM. I realize that's an hour shorter than the full broadcast. So either they lop off the last hour or play the whole thing at an accelerated rate of speed. If you've ever wondered what Alvin and the Chipmunks would sound like rabidly advocating for a Conservative Theocracy to spread across the land, now's your chance to find out.

Also tomorrow evening, the NARN will be appearing at Keegan's Irish Pub, for its gala salute to the military. Leatherneck/publican Terry Keegan will be treating all active duty, reservists, and vets to their first drink free. Also appearing will be a representative from Soldiers' Angels, a nonprofit group ...

dedicated to ensuring that our military know they are loved and supported during and after their deployment into harms way.

So, if you're active duty, a veteran, or just a proud citizen of the USA wishing to honor the service of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and guardsman, be sure to come on down, it's going to be a terrific event. The action starts about 5 PM and goes until the last Marine stops drinking. Or until the Shore Patrol arrives and carts us all off to the brig.

Folks who may not be regular visitors to the cozy Minneapolis neighborhood surrounding Keegan's, be warned, the city enforces the parking meters until 10 PM. Just a few weeks ago, it was free after 6PM. But the public servants at the Minneapolis City Hall bumped it up to 10PM, without prior warning (and I've got a $30 parking ticket to prove it).

As a public service, let me make all of you aware of another Minneapolis parking meter law that could affect early arrivers:

It is only legal for a vehicle to park at a meter up to for the length of time permitted at that meter. For example, if you're parked at a four-hour meter, it's illegal to re-plug and continue parking at that meter after the four-hour time limit has expired.

No worries though - there's a big, beautiful, and privately-owned parking ramp right behind Keegan's. But needless to say, Keegan's will not be hosting a gala salute to municipal bureaucrats any time soon.
