How Many Will Watch Meet The Press Tomorrow?

[ThomWV]

I don't have any idea how many folks watch on any given Sunday, but I wonder how much its viewership (is that a word?) will be up tomorrow, if at all?

I sure know I'll be watching. How about you?

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. Don't get network news

so I'll be 'watching' by coming here!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

2. Whos on?

[CalebHayes]

17. bushie-boy

[trof]

3. Sure.

I'm sure it'll be very entertaining.
Not "news", or anything even approaching that, but entertaining in a "you've GOT to be kidding me" kind of way.

[stevedeshazer]

27. Agree, but they're burying it

It airs at 6 a.m. in my time zone (Pacific) to ensure that no one will see it. I'm taping it and getting up early anyway.

[AlinPA]

4. Watch a rehearsed interview, with Bush* using a teleprompter

and questions learned a week ago? Hell no.

[napi21]

38. Gonna try

but I usually get so pi**ed off when he's on I have to change the chanel or destroy the TV!

[patricia92243]

5. No - didn't watch SOTU speech - can't look at Bush.

[Nite Owl]

6. I don't think I could last an hour ,

first thing on a Sunday AM with Timmy. Throw in Chimpy and it would ruin my day. I'll tune in here and see if it's worth watching the late night rerun. Ever time Bush* opens his mouth lately his numbers have gone down. He doesn't seem to be connecting anymore. Hope this holds true for MTP.

[eaprez]

7. I Will

Its always helpful to know what the other side is up to.

[H2O Man]

8. know your enemy.

it is important that as many of us as possible watch. I've noticed that george seems to be feeling the pressure. could actually be funny.

[pacifictiger]

9. I'l be attempting to stomach it

as long as possible

[movonne]

10. NO he makes me sick to look at him. I leave it up to you people

to let me know what happened

[JPace]

11. I have not been able to stand watching or hearing him

for three years, it actually made me feel
ill. But now that he is on the defensive
I find I can tolerate short spells of
watching him as it gives me pleasure to
see him scared and trying to hide it. I
think watching him suffer brings out the
worst in me....forgive me I can't help it.

[spanone]

12. I'll watch but I'm pissed it's not live.

[rhino47]

13. Light my candles.Open a bottle of wine .Put on Barry white

and prepare myself to get totally fu*ked.So thats a yeah Ill watch it.

[countmyvote4real]

14. He's a fluff hole, self-important, pundit.

He has no credibility with me. I don't watch him anymore. And I won't be watching his * infomercial.

[eleny]

15. I'll be watching and also following the thread here at DU

See ya!

[formactv]

16. I need to find out when it is on in central VT. Channel 5 in Plattsburgh

I usually watch Face the Nation. If anything(reception is better).

[bloom]

18. NBC showed clips this evening

(I generally avoid watching him).

What I noticed was how he spoke without saying a damn thing.

But I guess that's how he always is.

[onecitizen]

19. Wouldn't miss it for......

the world!

[anarchy1999]

20. Ummh, Taping, Going to Church and a Potluck

Will watch it later and check in here at DU. We will be spending morning in a more productive manner, we hope. Productive in that we will not be watching Bush "live", will miss though, being on DU at the moment it is happening.

What If Every Church Had Been A Peace Church?

Dick Davis presented this speech on March 5, 2003, at Flag Pole Hill, Dallas, TX.

The history of the Christian church reads like a litany of horror and cruelty that has been perpetrated, with the blessings of the church, upon the peoples of the world.

What If Every Church Had Been A Peace Church?1

Let's review the last 1700 years of Christianity through the honest and uncensored lens of an academic historian. If you are a Christian you will not like what you are about to hear. The history of the Christian church reads like a litany of horror and cruelty that has been perpetrated, with the blessings of the church, upon the peoples of the world.
First, the most current sins of the church need attention.2
1. For generations Christians have killed each other in Northern Ireland.
2. Christians in so called "First World Countries" condone, by their silence, the agonizing deaths of thousands of innocent Iraqi children monthly via the UN Sanctions program.
3. Rwandan Christians brutally massacred hundreds of thousands of their fellow Christians a few years ago.
4. US Christian soldiers, with the prayers and blessings of their home churches, have mercilessly destroyed Afghanistan and her people, both physically, emotionally and spirituality.
5. At the same time the church-endorsed military continues to inflict homicidal violence against Christian peasants in Colombia, under the guise of the Pentagon's discredited drug interdiction policy.
6. And the organized church, out of fear of the unknown and a lack of faith in the clear gospel message of unconditional love, remains essentially invisible and almost totally silent on the un-Christ-like human slaughter known as, modern war.

the rest is here:

(interesting footnote, Dick Davis was a Chaplain (Southern Baptist)for the Armed Forces through Gulf I. Retired and left the Baptist's and became a Mennonite, is also a member of Veterans For Peace and is a leading member of Dallas Peace Center.)

I hold Dick Davis in the same high esteem as I do Granny D, Molly Ivins, Jim Hightower, Greg Palast, Robert Fisk and all the rest of the independent journalists and activists throughout this nation.



PMC Named an Excellent Church in Nationwide Study
March 22, 2001
(Dallas, Texas)

Peace Mennonite Church has been named one of America's outstanding Protestant churches in a nationwide study. A team of researchers form the Parish/Congregational Study, based at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, spent two years searching for local church excellence. "Peace Mennonite Church was clearly the type of church we were looking for," said the study's director, Paul Wilkes, an author and a professor at UNCW. We looked for churches that nurtured the spirit, welcomed and yet challenged, both preached and - more importantly - lived the Good News. Peace Mennonite Church is that kind of church."

21. Don't have NBC so I'll have to rely on the DU color commentary

which is always more fun that watching *.

After this was announced I went to see what MTP viewership was and it's generally about 4.5 million viewers.

[question everything]

22. Will Watch ABC instead, with Edwards n/t

[gristy]

23. what time is it on in the east?

I will have to go by the DU commentary. I do not have a (working) television.

[democrank]

24. I`m building a unit tonight.....

a stabilization unit to go on my couch when I watch the big Bush show tomorrow. I have two rolls of duct tape to secure my arms and legs down so I don`t flail around and throw things and a shatter-proof glass barrier between me and the television in case I break loose and lunge. I`m kind of stuck on the design of the mechanical device I`ll need to supply tissues. Sometimes when I laugh real hard, tears roll down my cheeks.

If this PR move doesn`t work for Bush, he still has another trick up his sleeve.....a pit stop at the Daytona 500 next week for some male bonding. After that, who knows? We`ll probably see him in California, hoe in hand, apron filled with heads of lettuce.

[NoPasaran]

25. Not me

No alcohol sales until noon here.

[Langis]

26. What time is it on?

[Skittles]

28. I fear I am a coward; I simply cannot do it

this man revolts me and I had to put up with him as governor too. For the sake of my sanity I will simply have to read the reviews of my DU friends.

[lindashaw]

30. Same here, I'm afraid.

[oasis]

29. check

[banana republican]

31. The last time b* was on the Boob Tube

My picture tube cracked....

Havn't seen b* in a week of so

[eileen_d]

32. I'll be watching it on DU!

:grouphug:

[kaitykaity]

33. I'll have my puke bucket in front of me

just in case.

(I like pain. I like pain. I like pain.)

[ewagner]

34. Probably not the whole thing

I can only take his ignorance in small doses. I'll be happy to watch replays and follow the color commentary here on DU.

It comes on at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning in Central WI.

[Stuckinthebush]

35. I'm sorry...I can't stand to watch that asshole

Bush, that is. I can watch Russert.

My DU brethren will have to fill me in on the details.

[dawn]

36. I can't watch Bush*.

I also am going to be at an Edwards delegate caucus in CA, so I won't be home.

[berry]

37. I usually check out the transcript

when I think it might have some info I should know about (like what Sneer* had to say a few weeks ago). The transcripts are free if you snag them within a few weeks of the program. It's a lot easier than watching the program--and one can skim over the worst parts.

That said, I may peek at it this week just to see how Smirk* is holding up. But, like many here, I have a very low tolerance for any appearance of * on TV. Don't like Russert either.

[zulchzulu]

39. It's going to be a classic

I saw some previews of it tonight and the Chimp is out of his league.

Make sure to record it for future laughs.

[Piperay]

40. NO way

I couldn't take seeing his ugly face and hearing him stammer for a whole hour, my stomach is not that strong. :puke:

[laylah]

41. Not a chance!

I'll let the braver DUer's watch and then come here to read comments. I have no desire to ruin my whole day.

Jenn

[devinsgram]

42. No way

watching * makes me physically ill( and I mean that literally). So I will have to let the rest of you watch and interperet what he says.

[rasputin1952]

43. Well...this little monster will be on in about 10 minutes, NBC...

I want to watch him squirm!

Besides, there is always the, "why didn't I say_____, when I had the chance", afterthought.

This may well be his "Waterloo"!

O8)

[OneTwentyoNine]

44. Not a chance....Russert is no reporter doing SETUP interviews..

[citizen snips]

45. What time does it come on?

n/t

[Native]

46. 10 am EST on NBC (in our area - Tampa Bay, FL) n/t

[bushwakker]

47. No way. Can't stand looking at either of them.

Why ruin a perfectly good Sun morning?

[ThomWV]

48. Pittsburgh TV: 10:30 AM
