Spike Lee endorses Bernie Sanders

Spike Lee is feeling the Bern:

Sanders hopes Lee can help him win black voters:

And he’s cut an ad for Sanders in South Carolina:

Partial transcript via ABC News:

Waaaaake up! Wake up, South Carolina! Lee begins in the new spot first obtained by ABC News from the Bernie Sanders campaign. This is your dude, Spike Lee. And you know that I know that you know that the system is rigged! And for too long weve given our votes to corporate puppets. Sold the okie doke. Ninety-nine percent of Americans were hurt by the Great Recession of 2008, and many are still recovering.

Thats why I am officially endorsing my brother, Bernie Sanders. Bernie takes no money from corporations. Nada. Which means hes not on the tape, and when Bernie gets into the White House, he will do the right thing!

Here’s the audio:

“Wake up, South Carolina!”

Diabetes Weight Loss: Week by Week

Diabetes Weight Loss—Week by Week guides the overweight person with diabetes through the steps to lasting weight loss, better health, and perhaps even improved blood glucose control. The reader will learn to set reasonable goals; make better choices in restaurants, the grocery store, and the kitchen; self-monitor food intake, activity, and progress; read food labels; distinguish appetite from hunger; navigate a restaurant menu or buffet; examine motivation; and more. More than 23 million adult Americans have some form of diabetes, and more than two-thirds of the adults with type 2 diabetes are significantly overweight or obese. Many of these individuals feel that controlling blood glucose and weight are conflicting goals and that they must choose one over the other. This books dispels that myth by educating the reader about the benefits of good nutrition and weight loss. Losing weight may improve blood glucose; blood pressure; cholesterol and triglyceride levels; increase mobility, comfort, and confidence; reduce the risk for heart disease; and improve overall quality of life. Many overweight people have tried unsuccessfully to lose weight one or more times. Frequently, dieters lose weight, only to regain it within months. With this book’s week-by-week approach and emphasis on incremental changes, the reader will increasingly gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence required for permanent change. Throughout the book, readers will learn from the triumphs of others by reading their brief stories. A handful of recipes will guide the reader to making changes in the kitchen. Among many other lessons and skills, readers will: Record and review their food intakePractice setting achievable goalsIdentify the benefits and sacrifices of changing eating and physical activity routinesLearn to deal with friends and family members who sabotage lifestyle change effortsLearn to recover from dietary setbacks and indiscretionsDiscover mindful eatingIdentify filling foodsDecrease portionsIdentify and avoid trigger foods and situationsPrepare healthful foodsCreate positive, supportive situationsGradually increase physical activityAvoid hypoglycemia while losing weight

Procrastinator in chief avoids debate prep, visits Hoover Dam instead

http://twitter.com/#!/markknoller/status/253227443371012096

President Obama, trembling under the weight of those pesky “constraints of governing,” hasn’t exactly expressed much interest in prepping for tomorrow night’s presidential debate. In fact, just yesterday, he was whining about having to stay inside to do his debate homework. A drag, indeed. Evidently, the all work and no play got to be too much for the dull boy, and he took a field trip to the Hoover Dam.

"Its spectacular and I've never seen it before," Pres Obama tells reporters about his visit to the Hoover Dam.

— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) October 2, 2012

Pres Obama said an aide told him they were only 15 minutes away from Hoover Dam "and I said well we've got to go check it out."

— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) October 2, 2012

Pres Obama was surprised to learn that most of the power generated at Hoover Dam goes to southern California & not to Las Vegas.

— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) October 2, 2012

Obama's questions on 1st visit to Hoover Dam: Where does the power go? How long did it take to build? How many people were killed building?

— Edward-Isaac Dovere (@IsaacDovere) October 2, 2012

During his visit, President Obama made it pretty clear that he did not want to discuss the debate:

But when reporters started asking about his debate preps, Pres Obama ended the chat and turned away.

— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) October 2, 2012

Leading some to express concern that his priorities aren’t where they should be:

I love the Hoover Dam, but what is Obama doing sightseeing the day before the debate?

— Molly Ball (@mollyesque) October 2, 2012

Esp. after reports he's underprepared RT @mollyesque: I love the Hoover Dam, but what is Obama doing sightseeing the day before the debate?

— David A. Graham (@GrahamDavidA) October 2, 2012

Conveying a sense of "I got this," presumably. MT @mollyesque: Love the Hoover Dam, but what is Obama doing sightseeing day before debate?

— Mr Media Training (@MrMediaTraining) October 2, 2012

Some people also remarked on the similarity between today’s photo op and an MSNBC ad featuring Rachel Maddow at Hoover Dam:

Obama going to Hoover Dam today. Perhaps he's filming a commercial there for MSNBC.

— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) October 2, 2012

"Obama, day bef crucial debate, takes break frm debate prep, for visit at Hoover Dam." Did he film a cheesy "Lean Forward" MessNBC ad there?

— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) October 2, 2012

Obama went to the Hoover dam to remind people of the @Maddow Hoover Dam ad's message earlier. Maybe?

— @KnorthernKnight (@KnorthernKnight) October 2, 2012

RT @BuzzFeedAndrew: Obama at the Hoover Dam. via Reuters pic.twitter.com/Mf8Cmmqg // really looks like an MSNBC ad

— Alex Armstrong (@AlexJArmstrong) October 2, 2012

It definitely does look familiar …

Given the president’s reluctance to even acknowledge tomorrow’s debate, it’s entirely possible that he’d rather be leaning forward than brushing up on his debating skills.
