Sunday Talk Shows Open Thread

There's an eclectic array of guests on the shows today. We'll be getting some national security. It was a big week in that arena between Bill Clinton in North Korea and the death of the Taliban leader in Pakistan. We'll be getting some health care. Dr. Dean will be debating Newt. And, we'll be getting some politics.

But, the big buzz for all the Villagers is whether George bests David again. That's what's really important for this crowd.
