Sunday Talking Heads: August 7, 2011
It’s Morningtime! ABC scheduled the managing director of Standard and Poors, none of the the other shows mentions the downgrade but it will surely be a topic. C-SPAN’s Q&A will be interesting with RT’s Alyona Minkovski, and Avedon Carol and digby are Virtually Speaking this evening. FDL Book Salon is quite the adventure, Jackpot: High Times, High Seas, and the Sting That Launched the War on Drugs. FDL Movie Night goes behind the scenes of the culty group Up With People.
