It's too early in the morning for me to have something interesting to say. Maybe the Sunday morning TV News Shows will stimulate my creativity.

All the news shows were disappointing. George Will was absent from the ABC This Week roundtable. Bob Shieffer was missing as moderator of Face The Nation. And so forth. Bob Shieffer was on the way to interview Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan for an appearance on Sixty Minutes tonight.
