Happy Easter to everybody who cares that it’s Easter. Happy “shit, I gotta go back to work tomorrow” day to everybody else. I have a lot of shit to do today (the usual, but complicated by the old familial obligations, which start way too early, if you ask me (which, of course, nobody ever does), so this will be a quick rundown of what’s on the talking head shows today.

First, Press the Meat offers us CNBC’s Maria Bartiromo and Erin Burnett to tell us about the looming recession (here’s a tip: we’re already well into a recession, on our way to the big ‘D’ word, that will be the fault of the next president, assuming it’s not McCain, in which case it’ll be the goddamn congressional Democrats fault). Beats looking at Timmy’s Potato head, I guess. Then it’s a big fifth birthday party for the war in Iraq, with the WaPost’s Eugene Robinson, Peggy “I’d like to give Ronald Reagan’s corpse a humjob” Noonan, Jon Meacham, who don’t really know much about, but adds are he’s an ass, & Chuck Todd, who is definitely an ass.

Faze the Nation has L’il Lindsey Graham, Jack Reed of Rhode Island, the former Wonkette, Ana Marie Cox, Doyle McManus
of the Los Angeles Times, and Roger Simon of the ever incorrect Politico.

On Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace has Govs. Edward Rendell, D-Pa., and Bill Richardson, D-N.M., former Treasury Secretary Larry Summer, Glenn Hubbard, former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, and the Fux “Power Player of the Week,” Eli Manning. Note to Fux: the Super Bowl was, like, two months ago, dudes.

At Goebbels, George Snufalufagus has Chuck Schumer and John Kyl, plus a roundtable of Cynthia Tucker of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jay Carney and Claire Shipman (what are they, connected at the hip? Even the wife and I get away from each other once in a while) and of course the man with nowhere else to go, George :jerk: Will.

CNN’s Late Emission has, um, I don’t know. They didn’t have it on their website, and I don’t really care anyway.

Later, on 60 Minutes, Anderson Cooper tells us David Beckham and his manager might buy Beckham’s soccer team (who gives a shit, I don’t know), Scott Pelley tells us that scientists are collecting a billion and a half seeds from all the world’s crops to keep in safe storage deep inside a mountain near the North Pole (they know something they aren’t telling the rest of us about?), and Bob Simon reports on the Jesus’ brother’s box of bones things).

Your best bet is episode 3 of John Adams on HBO. The first two were great (at least I thought so, but then I’m kind of a dork).

Well, gotta go run the pooches around so they aren’t too much of a pain in the ass while we’re at the in-laws.

Happy Sunday everybody.

Oh, what the hell. You’re dying for a doggie picture. I know you are.
