Below are the topics and guests announced for these programs, along with my take on the "memes" that the shows are trying to push. With each guest's name are a series of links that I found in a web search that helped me get a handle on who they are and what their likely positions will be when they are interviewed.

Very brief preview tonight. I got the guests and links done on MTP and FTN, and the guests on FNS Thursday night, before the surgery. I got to the hospital about 10 after 6 and the transplant was done and I was out of surgery, in recovery, before 10 AM and checked out before noon. The surgery appears to be a success, again, but we'll wait for the judgment till I see my surgeon again tomorrow morning at 8:30. It does hurt, but I'm not pushing it. I can watch TV or read kind of OK with the left eye, but my glasses have to sit at a funny place on my nose because of the big shield I've got over the right eye. I have this big white swirly blob in my vision in the right eye behind my patch which occasionally overwhelms what I'm seeing with the left eye, so I'm not going to push anything.
As to my usual witty commentary...
The drive by media is happy that the "right" (left) people are back in charge and they are going to try to force feed us their views on how the usual suspects will make our lives a paradise if we only surrender to their will. Or something like that. Oh, and Trent Lott is stupid and easy to make fun of. Well, that got me on that last one, since I agree with them.
"Happy Days Are Here Again"--but not for the reasons you suggested ('rats control of Congress, etc.). But because your eye operation was apparently successful. Perfect timing, with Thanksgiving providing us all with yet another reason to be thankful.

The Sunday Morning Talk Shows - 12/26 preview
By Mark Kilmer
For Sunday, November 26, 2006
Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert meets with the recently relected Ahnold.
FOX News Sunday (FNS): Host Chris Wallace will talk with
Moe, Shemp, and LarrryChuck Rangel, Barnster Frank, and John Dingell. Then with Trent Lott.Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer will talk to three Senators-elect: two D's (McCaskill of Missouri and Brown of Ohio) and an R (Corker of Tennessee).
This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos chats with King Abdullah II of Jordan and then Dick Durbin and Sam Brownback.
Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer talks to Senators Cornyn and Reed. Maryland's Lt, Governor Michael Steele will be there eventually, and he'll ahve his usual cast of thousands.
-----Schwarzenegger, being the heavily-muscled governor of our country's most populous State, gets his press time from an easily impressed Russert. It'll be interesting, perhaps, to hear if Wallace's three stooges still talk bipartisanship. I wonder if Durbin and Brownback (LE) even like each other.
On LE, Senator Reed's been sounding less snide of late, We'll see what Cornyn can do with the clown.
(Phsstpok) has his preview up at FreeRepublic, while he's in-and-out of what seems to be some sort of transplant surgery involving his right eye. I applaud his dedication and request prayers for full recovery.
