Good morning everyone. Hope you all had a great holiday. I took a week off. Petey, the new dog, joined Carlos and me on an excellent adventure as we drove up to Portland to see my family. We made a few stops along the way so Petey got to walk in New York's Central Park and on the Boston Common. And, he was a huge hit everywhere we went, especially with the family. The little guy is just so lovable.
Anyway, back to the real world. It's a mixed bag on the Sunday shows today. There is, of course, much about India. But, there are random guests like Laura Bush and Ted Turner. Clearly, it's a holiday weekend.
And, FOX is dutifully providing Georgia Republican Saxby Chambliss with an open mike in time for his runoff on Tuesday.
