It’s a Katrina kind of day today on Press the Meet as we ‘celebrate’ the fifth anniversary of the hurricane that should’ve changed everything, but didn’t. I guess Gilligan Gregory couldn’t handle things, so they’re bringing in Brian Williams to chat with the Landrieus – DINO Mary Landrieu and New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu. Then it’s an interview with the vampire Brad Pitt, founder of the Make It Right Foundation – aimed at building 150 green, affordable, high-quality design homes in the Lower 9th Ward, and a discussion with Wendell Pierce (New Orleans native, star of “Treme” and “The Wire”, and President of the Pontchartrain Park Community Development Corporation), New Orleans journalist Garland Robinette, and Historian, former Tulan professor, and author Douglas Brinkley.

Over at Faze the Nation, Bob Schieffer has Alaska Senate candidate Joe Miller, FL Senate candidate Kendrick Meek, Mississippi’s cracker governor Haley Barbour, and Florida’s Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

At Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace has a tribute to the successor of Martin Luther King’s legacy, the man, the myth, the legend – the greatest deductive mind since Sherlock Holmes. Yes, the one, the only, fresh off his triumphant Beckapalooza, it’s an exclusive interview with Glenn Beck (how did they ever score a coup like that). If you want to see the future of American, you’d better tune in.

Over at the Gobbles network it’s, oh I don’t know. Tony Blair or something. Who can concentrate in the glow of yesterday’, oh what would you call it? Beckiosity? Glennism? Bleckness?

On CNN, Fareed Zakaria is all about ideas – the next big ideas that are shaping our world now and will continue to do so, long into the future. Which I think means Glenn Beck.

Are China and the U.S. on a collision course? Is a confrontation inevitable? China is busy beefing up its navy, buying new ships and weapons. What does it all mean for the home team (you know, us)? Geo-strategist (nice work if you can get it) Robert Kaplan tells us, and and explains why the South China Sea will soon be the most important place on earth (except for wherever Glenn Beck happens to be).

Then, What in the World? Do you know the significance of the number 311? It’s not just a phone number any more. It might be a key number for reducing America’s nuclear arsenal. But then again, the only number that really matters is 2012.

Is the Internet really dead as Wired Magazine claims? Is it really making us dumber? Personally, I just think it’s Wired magazine that’s making us dumber; that, and mindless devotion to brand names). But Farred will get the real scoop from Internet guru Clay Shirky (question: if you’ve never heard of somebody, can they really be a ‘guru’?) on the state of technology in our culture today…and what the future will bring.

Then, is there a bright side to the recession? Author and economist Richard Florida on the change that always comes with economic crisis…and the good things that he thinks will come out of this one. Like, I dunno, cheap labor and Mexicans fleeing back to Mexico to find jobs. And finally, the Last Look: the next big idea in military fashion. Apparently with the end of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell in sight, camo is out.

Just a couple more True Bloods left. Then I guess I can dump HBO for a while (at least until ‘Boardwalk Empire’ starts).

Have a good one.
