There IS NO MEDIA BIAS. ================ ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA; NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSE Tue Jun 16 2009 08:45:10 ET On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care -- a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm! Highlights on the agenda: ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver WORLD NEWS from the Blue Room of the White House. The network plans a primetime special -- 'Prescription for America' -- originating from the East Room, exclude opposing voices on the debate. MORE Late Monday night, Republican National Committee Chief of Staff Ken McKay fired off a complaint to the head of ABCNEWS: Dear Mr. Westin: As the national debate on health care reform intensifies, I am deeply concerned and disappointed with ABC's astonishing decision to exclude opposing voices on this critical issue on June 24, 2009. Next Wednesday, ABC News will air a primetime health care reform “town hall” at the White House with President Barack Obama. In addition, according to an ABC News report, GOOD MORNING AMERICA, WORLD NEWS, NIGHTLINE and ABC’s web news “will all feature special programming on the president’s health care agenda.” This does not include the promotion, over the next 9 days, the president’s health care agenda will receive on ABC News programming. Today, the Republican National Committee requested an opportunity to add our Party's views to those of the President's to ensure that all sides of the health care reform debate are presented. Our request was rejected. I believe that the President should have the ability to speak directly to the America people. However, I find it outrageous that ABC would prohibit our Party's opposing thoughts and ideas from this national debate, which affects millions of ABC viewers. In the absence of opposition, I am concerned this event will become a glorified infomercial to promote the Democrat agenda. If that is the case, this primetime infomercial should be paid for out of the DNC coffers. President Obama does not hold a monopoly on health care reform ideas or on free airtime. The President has stated time and time again that he wants a bipartisan debate. Therefore, the Republican Party should be included in this primetime event, or the DNC should pay for your airtime. Respectfully, Ken McKay Republican National Committee Chief of Staff

Knighty, i go to vegas and the market crack i have been looking for finally occurs behind my back. unbelievable. this has been on low volume, though. that means one of two things. 1. we get a solid bounce back up to higher levels 2. when the volume trades hit, we go much lower fast. walking is great exercise for burning fat, however, walking often can't undue the effects of a "fat trap" diet in people. those genetically sensitive to carbohydrates (hint, most of us!) will get an insulin boost from too many carbs or total calories and constant elevated insulin literally locks down fat storage and drives blood glucose into fat cells. i'm up to about 165 lbs now (up from 155.5 lbs, all lean muscle gain) and i'm about 3 months away from retesting my 170 lbs 8-6-4 bench - and my shoulder feels a lot better this time. i haven't missed work due to a cold in over 2 1/4 years - almost 3x my previous longest streak in my life. and counting. i'm targeting 170 lbs by year end and benching 185 lbs 8-6-4. once i do that, i'm focusing on bringing my 400m dash down under 68 seconds, preferably in the 65 second range. i'm already envisioning my 45 minute sprint workouts.
