Sunday Talking Heads: August 28, 2011
Hope everyone is safe and powered this morning. Instead of winds and rain, I bring you flowers and birdies via twolf1’s hummingbird video. A whole lot of Irene on the talk shows. Teddy wonders: “Doesn’t Craig Fugate have, um WORK to do other than being on all the Sunday snoozefests?” The Newsmaker interview with Emmanuel Cleaver could be newsmaking. The FDL Book Salon is The Moment I Knew, and Monday Dr. Kirk Murphy sits in for Lisa with Bhopali, a powerful movie none of us should miss.
