He said he plans to reach out to Louisiana’s congressional delegation and urge them to oppose Obama’s plan. “We have to send a message to (Obama) that he’s wrong on this,” Clayton said.

Will Oprah OWN the Airwaves?

Sarah Palin fans may not tune in , but Oprah Winfrey takes the next significant step in her career on Saturday when she launches OWN. The self-titled cable network is expected to reach nearly 80 million homes and, according to the goddess herself, will connect “you to your best self and to the world.” Talk about a lofty goal! Oprah says she always knew she would be a “light carrier” and that her 25-year run as a talk show host would simply be a starting point for her “next thing.” She’ll appear on OWN for at least 70 hours/year, starting Saturday night with a behind-the-scenes special. Other programs will feature Oprah favorites such as Cristina Ferrare’s Big Bowl of Love , In the Bedroom with Dr. Laura Berman and The Gayle King Show . Says Winfrey: “I’m going to be there to get this network launched. I have a commitment to do a show on the channel for the next several years to try to get things off to as good a start as possible. But, if in 25 years, I’m sitting there on the air in my rocking chair, something went wrong.” Will you tune in to OWN?

But, there is hope: In the coming week , Congress is likely to pass the Commercial Advertising Loudness Mitigation Act (CALM), which “should finally ban TV ads that blare louder than the programs they interrupt.” Yeah, on second thought, we’re still screwed.
