TV SoundOff: Sunday Talking Heads

Hello and good morning and what have you to your Sunday Morning semi-live, quickly-typed, blog of ruminations and quips on the news of the day, filtered through some shallow people on the teevee and painted, like a cave wall of colorful dyes, onto the internet, while you all visit one another and hopefully live meaningful lives.

And you should consider taking advice from my friend Molly, because you won't be any worse off, I promise you.]
