- On day off they can race School Buses!
Tonight’s Top Topic: Should schools consider a four day week?
School districts across the country are struggling with debt and doing what they can to avoid cutting teachers. A study by the University of Washing (a school has to have a study about schools?) predicts 570,000 positions could be eliminated in the next three years plus savings from heating, cooling and busing. Broward County Schools in Florida, which is the fifth largest school district expects to save $30 million but awaits approval from teachers. To accomodate a shorter week school days will have to be extended. Some schools already have it. One school district in Arizona has had a four day week since the 1980’s.
Some say a shorter week brings better morale and less missed days of school. Some parents who do not work, love it because they get to spend more time with their kids and it makes it easier to schedule things like doctor appointments. Critics though say if both parents work there is child care for an extra day. Morgan said she can see both sides. Fred said it would be a long day for kids. Maybe 10 hours. And Morgan brought up that the kids would need an extra meal while at school.
They asked why not have some teaching done online. MoFo said even young kids can use a computer. They usually teach their parents.
It then on the show seemed like a Lovers fight between Fred & Morgan! Fred complained about the abuse the last few nights. Morgan said he gives her “softball pitches over home plate.” She asked if Fred would play software for Fox Charlotte this weekend in Shelby. Fred replied “They don’t let him go to Shelby.” Morgan finally realized after a couple of minutes they went waaayyyyy off topic.
Fred said he is not for changing the five day week. Morgan said she was torn and needed to listen to viewer feedback first. (I would have loved to hear what was talked about during the break!)
And then there was three. Allison Iraheta was sent home on American Idol. Fred said he now hates the show. He will not watch it. But he did tell us the viewers we should watch because the station needs the money. Both Morgan & Fred liked Allison. Morgan is sick of Adam Lambert. (Maybe this is a sign people are just getting sick of the whole American Idol show?) Fred stated he thinks Allison is the next Kelly Clarkson.
Also reported is that Paula Abdul has admitted to a pain killer addiction. (Is this a surprise to anyone?) She had denied these rumours for years. Fred suggested Paula should have taken some pills tonight. It was remarked that Paula lipsynced during her rendition of “I’m just here for the music.” (There are already reports that she did not even sing it.)
Fred called Morgan really mean.
At Arizona State University, thousands of students stripped down to their undies and ran around the campus. All the clothing they stripped off was shipped to a charity. (Guessing they didn’t wear their best clothes to the event.) It is called the Undie Race for Charity and this was the second year for the event. Fred called the footage shown a waste of a news chopper. The coverage should have been from the ground. Morgan replied that it was to avoid showing any poential “parts” you shouldn’t see.
Last year the group was charged $2000 for damage. Fred said there is not a bad looking person who goes there. The odds of seeing delicousnous are pretty good. (Guess that means good things for 
me as I went to ASU for a year. ) He asked Morgan if she would like to see a beefy college 21 year old. She said no.
Drew Peterson was offered a job at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch as a #2 man to owner and former guest on the NewsEdge Dennis Hof. Peterson would then appear on the HBO show Cathouse that takes place at the Nevada brothel. (this same job was offered to Rod Blagojevich.) He said he is considering the job.
MoFo brought up Peterson’s fiancie and why would she be with someone who is suspected in the dissapearance of one wife, in the death of antoher wife and might work at a brothel. She asked does this woman “Have idiot written across your forehead?” (no, but think she has the t-shirt.)
For those that want to know, his fiancie is Christina Raines who is 24 years old. Her parents think she is crazy and just a few months ago threw her out of their home. Peterson is 55. Stacy Peterson was 25 when she went missing in 2007. Raines has stated publicly she does not believe any of the allegations. They met at a bar.
Reminder to sign up for a chance to win tickets, this week to Windstream Pole night. Enter at the Fox Charlotte web site and click on the Edge tab.
A county goverment in China is telling its staff to smoke 230,000 packs of cigarettes a year. (one way of handling layoffs) The tax on cigarettes would then help the local economy. If they don’t smoke they will be fined. Fred stated they have a population problem so it might solve it. A million deaths in China each year are attributed to smoking. Side Effects:
Fred: Bad breath, dirty fingers.
Morgan: Your eggs die slowly if you are a woman.
A woman in south Florida found the word God in her salami. While she was cooking the letters appeared in the sliced pieces of salami. Morgan said it really spells Dog. (Can not believe neither Fred or Morgan figured it out. The salami spells out: OGD. That is a trademark and stands for Old Grand- Dad, bourbon whiskey. She probably drank too much of it.)
Fred said it sounds like a pickup line. “Is that God in yoru salami?”
Look for Fred’s Harley on Friday. Whatever that is about. We will have to watch to find out.
