It seems that our site is getting a lot of people asking what happened to Jason Lewis. Well, if you go to KTLK’s website, you will notice his profile is still up. So at this point, we can assume he is on vacation.
Even superstars such as Jason need to take a break sometime.
KTLK would be stupid to ever lose Jason. He is basically the face of KTLK. Without him, they are just another radio station.

Jason Lewis of 100.3 KTLK has been an outspoken and justified critic agaist Kare11’s ruthless attack on capitalism and complete disregard for the facts on the 2008 Minnesota tax increases. Here is Jason Lewis’s latest post about Rick Cupchella.
(Note: all quotes are from news stories posted on KARE11 website or Mr. Kupchella’s postings and/or emails. Relevant links are displayed parenthetically next to appropriate passages.)
Well, good for Rick. He and the KARE 11 staff up against lowly me. At least that makes it fair.
While of course “taking no position on whether a gas tax is or is not a good idea,” Rick and the gang at we-KARE-oh-so-much-11 found it necessary to take a knee-jerk position questioning not the gas tax proponents facts and figures, but those of us who are critical of this latest Minnesota tax grab.

For the casual Minnesota politics observer, the Minnesota House of Representatives is a boring topic. Most people are too busy working, raising a family, or collecting welfare checks.
However, the issues developing internally inside the Minnesota House Republican Caucus should catch everyone’s attention. The leader of the House Republicans, Marty Seifert, has done a great job of holding their minority of Representatives together. Last year, they stopped a tax increase due to his leadership ability.
While Seifert’s leadership has been stronger than ever, some Republicans in Name Only decided it was time to make their move. Fueled by special interest money and political self serving motives, Ron Erhardt and a handful of others who tainted the Republican name, decided to come out of the closet and begin their internal takeover of the Grand Old Party.
Fortunately, we have another option. Representative Ron Erhardt, can be fired by his constituents by him not getting the nomination at his local Republican Convention. Fortunately, there is already someone who is willing to take his place.
Keith Downey has announced that he will be taking on Ron Erhardt in the crucial battle for the Edina 41-A Republican nomination for the House of Representatives.
Blogger and Minnesota Senate candidate, Bill Jungbauer, has posted a brief writeup on Mr. Downey. He should be a good candidate according to Jungbauer.
Also included on Jungbauer’s post is a podcast link for the Chris Baker show. Baker had interviewed Ron Erhardt on Friday morning. Erhardt appeared to be unconvincing and awkward. You can also read the entire interview of Ron Erhardt here.

Famous Texas talk show host, Chris Baker, will be joining the lineup at KTLK FM News Talk 100.3 starting on Monday.
Chris has been an outspoken and eloquent talk show host in Houston. He sounds like a terrific guy who will do great in Minnesota.
People have been asking for a smart, humorous, political talk show during the 7am morning rush hour. He will be replacing Langdon Perry, and will be pushing Dan Conry to an earlier time slot. It looks like Minnesota is finally getting their wish.
Best of luck Chris Baker! Minnesota welcomes you.
