Update – Miss California, Carrie Prejean

Posted on May 7, 2009 by Admin

Seemed the only Comments people have posted the past couple of days is looking for more semi-nude pictures of Miss California, Carrie Prejean. Another picture was released earlier today as you see here. Her own PR person (another violation of the Miss USA pageant contract) has denied the new picture is really of her. Instead the claim is this one is a photoshop creation. Look at the picture. The one on the left is the one that is established to be Carrie. The image on the right they said is fake. You decide.
Hopefully this will be discussed on tonight’s Fox Charlotte NewsEdge.

: 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.

: Here is one for you Morgan!

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.

Tonight’s Top Topic: Do Misss California’s nude pics make you think less of her?
Still trying to comeback from her answer on gay marriage during the Miss USA pageant now pictures have surfaced of a topless Carrie Prejean. Carrie said in her answer “No offense to anyone” though Brotha’ Fred & Morgan say except homosexuals or the person who asked the question.
Miss Prejean Fred declared is now a member of the elite “Nude Picture club.” ‘The Dirty.com‘ blog site posted the first of what (I am sure are more) semi-nude pictures. Carrie was reported as saying attacks on her are intolerant and offensive. Morgan points out it seems kind of contradictory. Fred mentioned he loves that website (thedirty.com) which started in his hometown of Scottsdale, Arizona. He went on to show a picture of Miss Prejean at a party with a transexual. It was taken after the pageant at a New York nightclub. The Edge crew also showed pictures before & After Carrie’s breast implants. The Miss California pageant admits to having paid for the boob job. (I say Carrie Prejean is a boob job.)
While Miss Prejean has some support from the christian community, support appears to be diminishing. Christian radio host Ingrid Schloeter is quoted as saying “Simply Jesus is not enough. We augment the message of the gospel with flesh to attract admiration from the unregenerate.” (What? Who? Why? Perfect answer for a beauty pageant?) Morgan & Fred were equally perplexed by that comment.
Seemed most in the Edge underground think differently after seeing the picture. (I’ll hold judgement until I see the fully nude pics. Please send them to me!) Mofo said she believes you can be a moral person and pose in these kind of pictures. Carrie said she is a model, and models pose for lingerie and swimwear photos. Morgan points out that the pics were neither lingerie or swimwear. “You were topless.” “Covering your hands with your breast.” (That is what you said Morgan!) Morgan did correct her statement. (Hopefully you watched the show. It was hilarious.)
Fred said he didn’t think they were moral pictures. Reports are the pictures were taken when Carrie was a minor (17) and she was told they would lead her to becoming a Victoria Secret model. Morgan stated you have to sign a morality contract/clause when you enter pageants. Fred said the Miss USA pageant is becoming the nasty of the beauty competitions with Tara Connor and naked pics. Mofo said anything with Donald Trump.
The Miss California pageant authorities say they may take away her Miss California title. (Will they ask Carrie to return her breast implants?)
(I do want to say Carrie Prejean is getting tons of press. This similar publicity gave Vanessa Williams, another former beauty pageant contestant a big boost in her career. And ask most people especially here who actually won Miss USA. It was our own Miss North Carolina Kristen Dalton.)

Kara DioGuardi the newest judge will return to American Idol next season. Fred thought for sure she was done. He said she is “terrible.” Morgan said she likes her. Fred went on to say he likes “The original nucleus.”

Americon Idol contestant Danny Gokey it is rumoured is getting paid by Lenscrafters. He seems to have a new pair of glasses every show. Gokey also has flashed a heart shaped hand gesture just like in the Lenscrafters commercials. (Hey the judges are drinking Cokes because Coke is paying. Guess he wants his piece.)
During the discussion of the heart shaped hands, Morgan told Fred he has no feelings. She said she was kidding……

A recent study says teens who watch adult-themed television programs become sexually active at a younger age. The research said for every hour a 6-8 year old watches an adult program their risk of becoming sexually active early increases 33%.
Morgan said she recently came across the ABC Family channel showing the movie Dirty Dancing. (You know I never have seen it.) She said it was highly suggestive. Is that something “families” should watch together? Reg Taylor said from off-camera “That’s their slogan. Its a different kind of family.” Fred said watching the Edge is like safe sex for kids. Just look at him.

This week’s pet of the week was Wiley. Wiley is also called Bighead and was brought by Gus of Project Halo. He is a 1 1/2 year old Black Lab mix. (He being Wiley, not Gus!) He has some training and can sit, lay and is very trainable. And very good with kids. Contact Project Halo if interested in adopting Wiley.
Also it was announced that Sugar who recently appeared on the Edge was adopted by Brent and Kim.
On May 16th at 3:00pm there will be the Helping Paws Dog Show. It will be at the Woodlawn School-Presbyterian Church Road in Davidson. You can find more information on the Dog show website.

Tonight’s Top Topic: Would you choose your Mom or Dad to live with you? (If they needed someone to take care of them)
We first learned Morgan loves the show “King of Queens.”
The Edge crew wanted to remind everyone that this Sunday is Mother’s Day.
A recent survey found 7 out of 10 adult children (are they adult or children?) would choose their mother over their father to live with them if their elderly parents could not take care of themselves.
67% say if mom could not move in they would rather she live home with help than a nursing home. (They call nursing homes assisted living facilities now)
80% of women choose mom
65% of men choose mom
30% did not want mom at all because of fear she would disrupt their lives, not enough room, etc. (And they don’t think when they were kids they didn’t disrupt their parents lives!)
72% of women would take care of their dad if needed.
58% of men would take care of dad.
This survey according to zoomerang.com
Morgan said “This is such a depressing topic.”
(I took care of my father for nearly two years after my mother passed away. But I moved in with my father as he would not leave his home. It was not because of physical limitations but for moral support and decision making that my mother used to take care of. Was difficult taking care of my house here in North Carolina and being down there most of the time but will say would do it again.)
Terry Dixon of Senior Helpers of Charlotte was interviewed. He mentioned many may choose their mothers because they are more nurturing and spend more time with children. Fred made fun of Mr. Dixon who sounded too melow.
Morgan said “I would pick my mother too, because we have a really good relationship. And the relationship with my dad……Not so good.” (It is refreshing to have someone on tv be that honest isn’t it?)
Fred said he knows his mom would do stuff around the house. His dad “would do jack.” He would sit there, watch tv, ride his motorcycle (is it a Harley also?) drink some scotch and have over lady friends all the time. (we were not told whether this was a case of like father, like son.)

As Morgan reported earlier on Fox News @ Ten, Cami Zupa of Hickory works at Lowes Foods and was sent home from work. Cami wanted to wear a face mask while dealing with customers to protect against contracting (H1N1) swine flu. She thinks it is a case of discrimination. Lowes Foods told her she can return to work at any time without the mask. The question is, Should you be allowed to protect yourself while on the job? Harris Teeter and Bi Lo told Fox News Charlotte that they would allow the mask but recommend frequent hand-washing. (Listen carefully. The Center for Disease Control has stated the most important protection against the H1N1 Swine Flu is washing your hands. You can read it here on the CDC website. You may notice they have no mention of wearing a mask at all)
Fred said he understands the mask may generate paranoia (would you wonder whether the mask might be because the person was already infected with the virus?) but if not part of the dress code how could they stop them. (How would you feel if a cashier wore a mask?)
Cami is the only financial support for her mother and sister. Still, she has chosen to not work as she chose her fear of the swine flu over the income.
Fred said we forget about the 30,000 (its actually 36,000) who die each year from normal strains of the flu. And that Cami is handling money which is filthy. Morgan asked Lowes Foods about wearing gloves instead of a mask but was told they never had such a request so are not sure right now.

American Idol winner David Cook lost his brother Adam (think the show called him Brian) to a brain tumor. Adam was 37 was married with two children. David gave credit to his brother for supporting his efforts on American Idol. David asks that fans who wish to remember Adam donate to Race for Hope which works to fight against brain tumors.

Happy Anoop Day! What you say is Anoop day? Chapel Hill North Carolina has declared monday Anoop Day for Anoop Desai. The city gave the former American Idol contestant the key to the city. (heard it opens the girls’ locker room at UNC Chapel Hill) The former UNC grad student reportedly will be leaving school to pursue a career in music. Morgan and Fred said “Stay in school.”

Click here for ful interview of Nadya explaining the Angelina & Stripper reports

Octomom is back in the news (did she ever leave?) and is being sued by Celebrity Ambulance chaser, Gloria Allred. The suit aledges Nadya Suleman is an unfit mother. The specifics of the suit are that the babies need a court appointed guardian and an independant Theatrical Agent. (Not making that up!) Child welfare recently visited the Suleman home concerning bitemarks and a black eye on the four year old.
It was also reported on the Edge that Nadya is also suing three people who claim she worked as a stripper with the name Angelina. Nadya said she does not want to look like Angelina. As Fred said, Gloria Allred is always involved with high profile cases like Tara Connor, Britney Spears, so does she really care about the kids? (Maybe Gloria wants to be their theatrical agent?) You can watch the interview about the stripper alegations and see how crazy Nadya is HERE.

Lingerie Football will not be in Charlotte. At least not until next year. Reports are the TWC Arena has a scheduling conflict with the Lingerie Football League and the Bojangles Coliseum is too old. Instead the Atlanta Steam will become the Philidelphia Passion.
Morgan asked which of the girls who’s been in the Lingerie Bowl has gone on to bigger things or sports related. Fred responded – “Maybe Porn!”

Real Women’s football is already in Charlotte. The Carolina Queens are on the road this week at Louiseville. They will be playing Chattanooga on May 23rd here in Charlotte. Get your tickets from The Carolina Queens website. (What about us fans of the Fox Newsedge all meeting at that game?)
Would you rather see the Lingerie football league or The Charlotte Queens? Answer at FoxCharlotte.com (Can we answer Both?)

Morgan mentioned “the fan website”!!! But She never gave the web address! But I know there are quite a few of you reading this as I get statistics. Finding us through Google or from the Fox Charlotte website. Feel free to leave comments here or go to the discussion forum. Love to hear from you. This is really your site! I am just the caretaker. Fred asked if he gets mentioned and approved if we don’t talk against him. Guess I will have to watch myself….

A woman found a bag with $120,000 cash in it. The woman Letty Armendariz of El Paso Texas, found the bag next to an ATM machine. (Why do we say ATM machine when ATM stands for Automated Teller MACHINE?) She turned it into police but still may get to keep the cash. If no one claims it in 30 days it is hers. (And every friend and relative she thought she forgot about.) So far no one has come forward to claim it.

Off the Edge – Sunday 3 May 2009

Posted on May 3, 2009 by Admin

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….

Sean O’Hair has won the Quail Hollow Championship (formerly Wachovia Championship) tournament. Tiger Woods came in fourth. It is his first victory of the season and now is third in the FedEx Cup standings.
There is doubt about the future of the tournament though. Reports are the sponsorship contract by Wells Fargo expires in 2014. Estimates are that the tournament generates as much as $60 million to the Charlotte area. But we have four years to worry.

Swine Flu has a new name. Due to complaints from the pork industry the Swine Flu is now to be called the H1N1 Flu. There are many though, saying that there is more panic and mis-information surrounding H1N1 and reports are overblown. Current fact is there has not been a single death to an American from this flu outbreak. Nada. The one death in Texas was a Mexican who came to Texas for treatment. Compare that with the regular influenza strains of the flu which cause an average of 36,000 deaths each year. More than 200,000 are hospitalized each year with the flu also each year. As of noon today there was 226 total cases in the United States according to the (CDC) Center for Disease Control. For those who are pulling their hair out about the Swine Flu but normally go to work with the regular influenza strains, think about those facts when the next flu vaccine becomes ready.
Several network medical correspondents and editors have come out the past few days to state the media is overplaying the current outbreak. Just seems to me like the reporting of Nadya Suleman, the Octomom. Maybe the name should be changed to Octomom Flu?

The Carolina Queens who made an appearance on the Edge recently beat the bras off the Palm Beach Punishers 26 to 14. The next scheduled game is May 9 at Louisville. Keep in mind the Carolina Queens have said they wanted to play a team from the Lingerie Football League.

The New Hope Church in Melbourne, Florida continued with their program titled “Great Sex for You” at the local elementary today. No word on how many Fox Newsedge viewers attended. This is the final segment for this program. Pastor Bruce Cadle reported excellent attendance today. The school is still weighing its options on renting the school to the church.

The Charlotte-Mecklenberg School Calendar Poll has ended. Hope you were able to get your vote in for which school calendar you support.

The 2nd Annual Kick CF with Jordan Gross to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation was held last week. This year’s kickball event raised more than $55,000 which will be used to help find a cure. If interested in making a donation go to the Charlotte chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Tomorrow starts a new week of Morgan & Fred!

Tonight’s Top Topic: What motivates you to go to work?
Julius Pepper of the Carolina Panthers did not show up at the team’s mini-camp. He has millions of dollars on the line which he won’t get if he doesn’t show up.
Fred said he would play, would sell concessions, mow the lawn or a thousand different things for a $million a game. Morgan would sweep the stadium. (Is it strange to any of you that those jobs pay very little? Now if Fred or Morgan could throw a football then maybe… But always wondered why garbage men and teachers are paid little while hosts of a television show who love what they are doing are paid….shutting up now!)
Peppers wants to be traded to another team. He is set to earn over a million dollars a game. Most people show up at our jobs to get paid. Morgan said that fits the expression “Work to live, not live to work.” For some its about doing what they love like a pastor or social worker. For some it is pride in what they believe like those in our armed services.
Fred said he gets up at 4 in the morning (for his A.M. Mayhem show on 96.1) then takes a siesta and then on to do the NewsEdge show. Morgan said Fred’s a vampire. MoFo said she likes the social interaction. Fred said this isn’t work. He would be bored if he didn’t have a job. (Hopefully they will keep the same jobs for some time.)

American Idol judge Paula Abdul was tricked by Sacha Baron Cohen’s (aka Borat) that will be in his upcoming film Bruno. Abdul was called and told she won “Artist of the Year” in Germany. The Edge crew wondered who would make her artist of the year when her last hit was over 20 years ago. When she arrived to be interviewed, there was only one chair in the room. Sasha then snapped his fingers and said “Gardners” and two mexican guys came into the room. The two dropped on all fours and were paid ten dollars each and told Paula Abdul to sit down. Paula says she never signed a release but her publicist did. Evidently there was no real interview but before she left she asked for her award.

The Edge crew showed another picture and more evidence that Tupac is still alive. It is claimed that ‘Tupac’ asked a DJ where he could find weed. Morgan said its not him because the chin is wrong.

We next got to hear Morgan do her Homer Simpson impersonation. Doh!
Dixie a ten year collie-dalmatian mix, swallowed Homer Simpson. Well actually the dog swallowed a chocolate surprise egg with a toy Homer Simpson inside. Surgery was done to remove the toy.

Two lucky people won tickets to the All Star race coming up at Lowes Motor Speedway. More tickets will be given away in coming weeks. Go to the Fox Charlotte website to enter.

From the same people who brought you such classics as the Hurricane Katrina rescue and buying trailers not safe for people to live, FEMA came up with another. A children’s coloring book (how is a coloring book something for emergencies?) depicting the 9/11 tragedy. The book is called “A Scary thing happened” which showed the twin towers on fire with an airplane heading towards it. There were two other drawings with the twin towers along with that one. According to reports this was done while FEMA was still managed by Mike Brown. (Is it too late to say “Brownie you are doing a heck of a job?”) in 2003. It had been available on the FEMA website but has since been removed.
(As someone who was working in downtown Manhattan on that day, I will tell you this is just disgusting. As Morgan said during the broadcast, enough of milking the tragedy. Part of the reason I moved to the Charlotte area was to get away from all of that. I worked mainly for banks (computers & technology) and on that day was in one of the headquarters for a large bank. Being told by the media that the attack was towards the financial centers of the U.S. I had friends and co-workers who died on that day. A few days later I had to be across the street from the site and was physically ill. The memories of that day will never leave any American. Still, there is absolutly no reason, to force it down on people especially young kids or use it for political or financial gain as some have. It is a part of this nation’s history much like the Civil war and Pearl Harbor. It is to be taught in school but not made to be a game. Should there be a coloring book so kids can color the missles being dropped on the USS Arizona? There is a reason many in Manhattan panicked the other day when seeing Air Force One and a fighter jet flying near Manhattan. They did not want to relive the tragedy. Or live through another one.)

Miss California DID receive more than second place in the Miss USA pageant. Apparently the Miss California pageant purchased implants for Carrie Prejean weeks before the Miss USA competition. Pageant offcials said it was to help boost her confidence. (It boosted more than that!) Fred asked what does that say about the pageant? Morgan responded it is not a brain pageant. (then why ask questions? Especially ones needing some thought? But personally I think intelligence is very sexy.)

Morgan asked “Who has a dominatrix at their workplace, I’d like to know. In the graphics.” (the graphic that has 332-EDGE and the question) Fred said its the receptionist. (Anyone wonder how Morgan knows what a real Dominatrix looks like?)

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Thursday, 30 April 2009

Posted on May 1, 2009 by Admin

Tonight’s Top Topic: How does the golf tournament compare to Charlotte’s other big sports events?
They showed what they said was a picture of “Tiger” and it turned out to be a guy with a beer gut with a tiger mask. (A crew member maybe?) Morgan said “I have nothing nice to say so I’m not gonna say anything at all.” Then said something under her breath. Anyone know what it was?)
Charlotte has the CIAA tournament, Bobcats, Panthers and NASCAR races. (Don’t forget the ticket giveaway to the upcoming NASCAR races. To enter the contest go to FOX Charlotte’s web site.
Fred said he would trade a weekend of the golf tournament for playoff victories of the Bobcats or Panthers. Morgan said There is room enough for all of it. Brien Blakely asked people at the golf tournament what their favorite sport was. (What do you think the answer was???)
Morgan said she was more partial to the Charlotte Jumper Classic. (Who shovels the manure for that one Morgan?) Fred called it lame. Morgan went on to say it does not get enough credit. The Charlotte Jumper Classic has olympic riders, olympic hopefuls and a $450,000 purse. Fred then proceeded to ride his chair like a horse. (Probably the highlight of the show)
Brotha’ Fred’s brilliant idea #1: Combine NASCAR people & environement with the golf tournament. Let people part their rv’s on the infield of Quail Hollow for a week and drink jello shots. (Fred, most NASCAR fans drink beer or Jack Danials if they drink.) Morgan said that would be cool if we combine a football game, bobcats, NASCAR and the golf tournament on the same weekend. Fred wants the “Yeehah” NASCAR fans to watch Tiger play.
The golf tournament is formerly the Wachovia and still paid for by Wachovia. (So isn’t it paid for by Wells Fargo?)
Fred complained that nobody invites “us” to the VIP of the golf tournament with the prime rib and food. Mofo respnded she has been invited. Fred’s comeback was funny. Had to see it.

People magazine came out with its annual 100 most beautiful people issue. Christina Applegate won. Other people in the list was Christina Aguilera, Michele Obama, Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Taylor Swift and the cast of the new 90210. The Edge crew discussed that the cast of 90210 does not belong on the list. Fred said except for Jessica Stroup who is from the Carolinas. Fred then made a statement out to Jessica Stroup’s parents, that he would be a fine suitor for their daughter. Morgan disagreed with that statement!
They both agreed that Christina Applegate would not make the “Hot List” that people also comes out with. There is a difference between beautiful and hot.
Morgan said You want to date the hot girl, but don’t want to bring her home to mom. The beautiful girl you want to date and bring home to mom. (Sorry. Not going to write out Fred’s finger exercises.)

We next got to see pictures of Fred on his new Harley Davidson. He said he wears chaps while riding. With no pants. (He was just kidding.)

An 8 year old in Saudi Arabia went to court to get a divorce from her husband who is 47 years old. The father of the girl arranged the marriage to settle debts he had. The mother had previously tried to get the marriage annulled in court but was turned down twice. Originally the husband had a written agreement with the father that the marriage would not be consumated until the girl was 18. After the mother went to court for the annullment, the judge modified it to be until the girl reached puberty. The young girl was never told of the marriage (explain that one to me) and now lives with her Mother. Under Saudi law the girl is technically still married.

A drug smuggler spent three weeks over a bed pan. The smuggler had 76 tampon-sized packets of cocaine that he swallowed. The man Hatim Gulamhusein, was arrested at the airport entering the country. He refused to allow doctors to remove them by surgery which is why he had to be over a bed pan 24 hours/day for three weeks. If just one of the packets broke in his stomach he would have been killed instantly. As Morgan said “This guy is an idiot.”

Terry Nichols who along with Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people at an Oklahoma City Federal building in 1995, is now suing the jail because he has constipation. (I think constipation should be part of the sentance for what he did) Morgan said to Mr. Nichols “You could find some fellow cellmates who could help you out with any problem you are having back there.” It was discussed that being on the Newsedge is very thearapeutic for Morgan. (Maybe for all of us watching as well!)
