The Northern Alliance Radio Network will be on the air today, with our eight-hour-long broadcast schedule starting at 9 am CT. If you’re in the Twin Cities, you can hear us on AM 1280 The Patriot, or on the station’s Internet stream if you’re outside of the broadcast area.

• The First Team: Power Line’s John Hinderaker and Chad and Brian from Fraters Libertas, 11-1
• The Headliners: Mitch Berg and Ed Morrissey, 1-3 with live streaming video and chat

Today, Mitch and I try to figure out which of us is in the ruling elite while we review the top stories of the week. We’ll also talk with Rick Rice, running for for the state House in district 44B.

Be sure to call 651-289-4488 to join the conversation!

Mitch and I now live-stream our show from 1-3 pm CT on Ustream, complete with live chat, which can be seen on the permanent Ed Morrissey Show page at Hot Air. Be sure to register for free at Ustream to participate in our raucous live-chat sessions. (And if the log-in prompt doesn’t come up in the chat box below, use this link instead.)

Note: Happy Birthday, Mom!
