It's a beautiful morning in Minnesota. A perfect day for an outdoor event. Which makes me doubly glad that I elected to take part in the NARN live broadcast from the State Capitol grounds as the WWII Veterans Memorial is dedicated. My other option would have been to attend the MN GOP state central meeting in Oakdale.
Inside vs outside?
Politics vs history?
Yeah, I definitely made the right choice.
The NARN will be broadcasting live from 11am-5pm while the WWII Memorial Dedication takes place from 10am-4:30pm. In addition to covering the dedication events as they unfold, we'll be providing our usual poignant and pithy political commentary. At noon, we hope to be joined by Lt. Col John A. Nagl, author of Learning To Eat Soup With A Knife: Counterinsurgency Lessons From Malaya and Vietnam. Lt. Col. Nagl helped put together the new counterinsurgency manual being used by the military and we'd like to get his evaluation of the impact of the "surge" in Iraq.
The rest of the NARN crew will also be on hand for six full hours of radio gold. We understand that Mitch Berg will be providing a live demonstration of ten ways you can kill a man with Lefse as a tribute to the Norwegian resistance.
If you can make it out to the Capitol, be sure to stop by and say hi. If not, you can listen to the show as always on AM1280 WWTC locally or from anywhere on the internet stream.
