Good morning, my lovelies. Another Sunday morning before us and looking at the roster, I'm reminded of nothing more than the horrible bureaucracy conceived only in the mind of Monty Python, where someone can ask to be abused and or contradicted meaninglessly by a civil servant. I'm quite confident that there will be much meaningless contradiction this morning. Although I would love love LOVE to get to play Graham Chapman to Paul Ryan on Face the Nation and attention whore Donald Trump on State of the Union. Oh, the abuse I could heap on them! Actually, maybe I should go straight to the mallet-walloping and just do the rest of the country a favor. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will be double-dipping on This Week and Meet the Press, where he'll catch up with Ayn Rand's cabana boy Alan Greenspan. And if that's not abuse enough...look for teabagging heroes Allen West and Rand Paul to spew some more meaningless contradictions into the national dialog. Meanwhile, take a gander at Chris Matthews' topics and wonder with me now if he's on his way to cracking up. Someone grab the mallet.

ABC's "This Week" - Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner; Reps. Joe Walsh, R-Ill., Steve Southerland, R-Fla., Renee Ellmers, R-N.C., and Allen West, R-Fla.

NBC's "Meet the Press" - Geithner; former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan; Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah; former Gov. Jennifer Granholm, D-Mich.

NBC's "The Chris Matthews Show" - Panel: Joe Klein, Norah O'Donnell, Becky Quick and Andrew Sullivan. Topics: Why Is Raising Taxes On The Rich So Tough? What If There Is No Hell?

CNN's "State of the Union" - Donald Trump; Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.; Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y.; former CIA Director Michael Hayden; John Hofmeister, former president of Shell Oil.

CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS" - This week President Obama laid out his vision for how to fix America’s fiscal problems. Fareed called it "an intelligent, important speech with one major failing.” In Fareed’s Take, he'll explore where Obama's vision falls short.

"Fox News Sunday" - Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood; Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.; Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md.

So what's catching your eye this morning?
