Summary: From the Twin Cities, John Shannon and Roger Shaver discuss news and events of local, statewide, and national interest. Roger and I invite you to join us for our slightly redesigned show... Our "Big 3" topics this week... The legacy of Elizabeth Taylor. The legendary star was a tireless advocate for people with HIV-AIDS. This advocacy drew the ire of bigoted groups like the Westboro Baptist Church, who had threatened to protest at her funeral. Libya... Should we be involved in military action against another Muslim country? The Twin Cities is worst in the nation in the unemployment ratio between whites and blacks. We offer our opinion as to why, and what could be done to reverse this disturbing trend. Ken Avidor returns with his "Dump Bachmann" segment, and we open with our new "Lightning Round," a quick look at some of the top stories of the previous week. We want to thank hollycairns.com for adding the show's "badge" to her blog. Holly is also the founder of Minnesota Blue Blogs, a valuable source of information for people wanting to keep up with the progressive cause.
