NARN at the Fair!
Join us today at the Minnesota State Fair!
The NARN will be appearing live at the Minnesota State Fair today.
It's going to be a great day. First Hour, we've challenged Jim Boyd from the Star Tribune to answer for his inflammatory, ad hominem and frankly hack-fodder attacks on Powerline this past week, and his insistence on having the last word in his ongoing (and losing) debate with Powerline.
Second hour - Mike Nelson of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 and many books, will be our guest.
Third hour: Hugh Hewitt and James Lileks will join us at the Patriot Broadcast Center. We'll be talking about the events of the day, but more importantly, the events of this past Thursday night.
Join Elder, John "The Rocket Man" Hinderaker, Captain Ed, Saint Paul, Scott "The Big Trunk" Johnson, and probably more Narnies, as well as your favorite NARN fans and some surprise guest!

Pat Oliphant: Swiftvets Nothing But Drunk Wannabes
Pat Oliphant, the syndicated cartoonist whose work appears in numerous broadsheets across the US, published an editorial cartoon that attempts to paint the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth as a bunch of drunk, wannabe sailors stooging it up for George Bush. Apart from the execrable Ted Rall, Oliphant may be the most disgusting example of left-wing character assassination in American politics today. Here's the cartoon, which the Minneapolis Star-Tribune saw fit to reprint in today's edition:
In Oliphant's world, men like Paul Galanti -- who suffered torture for his country during his seven years as a POW in North Viet Nam -- are nothing more than drunkards indulging in resume-padding, in a gross reversal of reality. This is such a disgusting display that I find it difficult to describe it in polite terminology. Suffice it to say that Oliphant has aligned himself with the same quality of people who spat on veterans returning from honorable service because of the slander and lies of people like John Kerry. In Oliphant's twisted viewpoint, the experience of a man who endured the worst privations of Hanoi's torture for seven years is somehow trumped by a man who managed to finish only one-third of his one-year tour.
Who's the wannabe? The man who survived seven years of torture, or the man who has been telling stories of Cambodian Christmases and stealing the actions of officers like Lt. Ted Peck?
Oliphant is decribed by his home site as a Pulitzer award winner "acknowledged by many as the nation's most influential political cartoonist." The Pulitzer committee should make sure they see this entry in case they ever consider him for another award. If your local newspaper carries this trash, make sure you let them know that you won't stand for it.

The Sights, The Smells...
And most importantly the sounds. The Great Minnesota Get Together kicks off next week, and the Northern Alliance Radio Network will be there broadcasting live on Saturday August 28th, Sunday August 29th, Saturday September 4th, and Sunday September 5th in our usual noon to 3pm time slot.
Stop on by, say hi, buy Mitch a corn dog (watch him eat it live on the air), and join in on some of the many fun filled opportunities for audience participation that we will have available. You'll find us at the sprawling AM-1280 The Patriot broadcast center, just a block south of the Space Needle (and not too far from a beer stand).
