1. Tavis Smiley was on WJ this morning. He said big announcement at 2pm

having to do with letters he has received from Dean and Melman.

2. I wonder what that's all about

[CottonBear]

4. I can't wait to find out! I like Tavis Smiley very much.

Y'all keep us updated. I'll be away from DU and the TV. :(

3. I started watching this in 2000;

The first year I watched it, Maxine Walters had just come from a meeting to choose the DNC leader. They had quite a time trying to tone her down, as she was in disagreement with the committee. It was pretty entertaining.

5. It's sure to be entertaining tomorrow

I cannot wait to see Rev. Lowry and Harry Belafonte take on Ken Blackwell.

6. Please kick and recommend so that others can see it

I think many peoplee miss it because they don't know when it's coming on.
