David Bowie rehearsing "Changes", 1976

As the site team gets used to the new site changes, time marches on for the Sunday news shows and the bobbleheads who populate them. Neither of the presidential candidates is appearing on a show this Sunday, but plenty o' proxies to go around. Gov. Ed Rendell faces off against Gov. Tim Pawlenty on This Week, while Sen. Joe Lieberman stumps against Sen. Claire McCaskill on FoxNews Sunday. Gwen Ifill will appear on Meet the Press, perhaps to advise Tom Brokaw on the perils of being a moderator against the whiny McCain campaign. But yet again, no Sarah Palin. What a surprise.

ABC's "This Week" - Govs. Ed Rendell, D-Pa., and Tim Pawlenty, R-Minn.; Sens. Mel Martinez, R-Fla., and Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio.

CBS' "Face the Nation" - Gov. Jennifer Granholm, D-Mich.; Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; Reps. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., and Heather Wilson, R-N.M. NBC's "Meet the Press" - Gwen Ifill, PBS journalist and moderator of the vice presidential debate.

CNN's "Late Edition" - Reps. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.; Washington Post reporter Barton Gellman, author of a new book on Vice President Dick Cheney; Nancy Pfotenhauer, adviser to John McCain; New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

"Fox News Sunday" - Sens. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.; Brooks Jackson, director of FactCheck.org, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania.

"The Chris Matthews Show" - Panel: Rick Stengel, Michelle Norris, Kathleen Parker, Joe Scarborough. Topics: 4 weeks to go: Obama has the momentum... Can McCain catch him? Which candidate will benefit from the next debate's town hall format?

So, what's catching your eye this morning?
