So there's this pope guy on my tee-vee

[libnnc]

Papal mass on Every. Single. News. Channel.

Live.


Why?

[Horse with no Name]

1. I don't know but thank God for Law and Order reruns

:D

[tridim]

12. Thank gawd for baseball and hockey!

My Avs are already in the second round, now I get to watch their opponents beat up on each other trying to get in. :evilgrin:

[Thepricebreaker]

2. First time a Pope has ever come to NY...

Only the 2nd time the Pope has come to the USA. Its a big deal...

something about a billion Catholics or something :P

[libnnc]

3. Didn't JPII come to New York?

[deadmessengers]

13. He did, and so did another pope, back in 1968

This is the third time a Pope has celebrated mass in Yankee Stadium.

17. didn't the mormans say Christ was born in Missouri or something?

[coriolis]

Pope TV, all Pope all the time.

8. My Mother said she's going to watch.

She thinks the Pope is a nice guy. She's voting for McCain (I guess that's to give the republicans another chance to kill her Grandson).

She gets her income in Euros and has done rather well under the Bush Administration.

What do you say to somebody like that?

[libnnc]

9. Can't say a thing.

Just shake your head and smile I guess.

I have no use for organized religion anymore and I find it creepy that these series of masses have been broadcast live all this week--on NUMEROUS channels. Not just one or two...but fed on channels up and down the dial.

11. Is Pope week anything like shark week?

I'm still waiting for Satanist week. I think that starts June 6 at 6 am.

[Cleita]

14. So watch C-Span instead. They are covering the

Pennsylvania primary. Right now they have Obama on.

[earth mom]

15. You should be more worried about Obama & Hillary kissing up to the evangelicals in this country.

Politics and religion should be kept separate.

[Breeze54]

18. How often is Billy Graham on TV?

Every year and for a whole week!

And the Evangelicals take up TV time all day Sunday and every weekday morning!

The Pope wasn't on any of my local TV stations, only sports was/is on.

He was on 2 UHF channels though for the Mass in NYC.

One is a Spanish station and one is a sister channel of a local channel.

[libnnc]

19. he was on News 14 Carolinas channel

as well as MSNBC and CNN.

Graham hasn't been on television as much lately--certainly not on any of the cable news channels.

[defendandprotect]

20. Was Cheney with him? 'Cause I had a lot of Cheney on my TV . . .

[The Straight Story]

22. It's better than that Dali Llama guy they had on

:rofl:

Neither of em even have real jobs. What's up with that?

[AngryOldDem]

23. He's gone now. Right? n/t

[and-justice-for-all]

24. Pointless, worthless crap...

Papal mass, better see a doctor about having it removed.
