Sunday Talking Heads: July 31, 2011
Awakened refreshed? Dreaming of Fluffies? Or perhaps pancakes? No surprise that the shows are all centered on the debt ceiling fiasco. As I write this, the Senate vote is scheduled for 1pm ET. Marcy is on Virtually Speaking this evening with Stuart Zechman. ET hosts FDL Book Salon this afternoon, and tomorrow night Lisa brings us a flick about a beauty pageant for women in wheelchairs. And here’s Teddy’s take on the day in talk teeVee: “Brilliant casting! — a man named Dr. Mohamed will speak for the bond vigilantes and market leprechauns! I hope he rides his Apocalyptic Unicorn into the studio as the Fifth Horseman of the Caliphate. … hope they have EMTs standing by for Krugman, this could be a stroke-inducer roundtable.”
