The following entry is not from on The NewsEdge but follow-up to topics from past shows. Hence, Off the Edge. The comments are mine. Blame me….
The Newsedge reported this past week on the controversy that was Arizona State University’s decision not to give President Obama an honorary degree when he spoke there. There was additional controversy surrounding Obama’s appearance at Notre Dame regarding his pro abortion rights stance on abortion, while the catholic college is pro life. Today Notre Dame gave the President an honorary doctor of law degree. During his speech the President said “no matter how much we want to fudge it … the fact is that at some level, the views of the two camps are irreconcilable.” referring directly to the controversial subject.
President Obama was introduced by the president of Notre Dame with a positive comment for Obama’s not being “someone who stops talking to those who disagree with him.” There were a number of protesters present at the ceremony.

As was discussed on Friday’s Fox Charlotte Newsedge, there was a difference bewteen people who preferred attending the NASCAR Sprint All Star race and the Charlotte Ultraswim competition with Michael Phelps.
Tony Stewart won the All Star race winning $1 million for
him and his team. Matt Kenseth came in second so only won a miniscule $243,646 in the “winner takes all” race.
At the Charlotte Ultraswim Michael Phelps was in his first competition since the Olympics. Phelps won in 200 freestyle and the 100 butterfly. He lost in the 100-meter freestyle to french star Frederick Bousquet. He also was beaten by Aaron Peirsol in the 100 backstroke.
Whatever you watched this weekend, I hope you enjoyed it.
Just a reminder that if you are looking for someone to help accompany you with your exercise or as a companion when Fox Newsedge is not on, why not consider adopting a dog or cat from Project Halo. You do not have to wait until tuesday for the Pet of the Week, although it is fun to watch. Wasn’t Piper who was on last week a great friendly dog?
