Morgan does double duty again at the 10 o’clock news desk. (How come we never see Fred do the news. Think more people would watch the news if he did.)
293hogans112607 The Top Topic tonight was Hulk Hogan’s comments that “I totally understand OJ.” Hulk Hogan is divorcing his wife Linda Bollea after 23 years of marriage. Linda, 48 is currently spending time with someone 30 years younger. In an interview with Rolling Stone Hogan is quoted as saying “I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like OJ, cutting everybody’s throat.” You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can’t go to anymore, you’re driving through downtown Clearwater and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife . . . I totally understand OJ. I get it.”
Hogan has recently explained “I didn’t do the OJ Simpson thing. I took the high road.” As Morgan pointed out, does that mean because he did not kill his wife? Should not even be a question. (If I were to be asking a question it would be does Hogan own a White Ford bronco?)

Morgan and Fred explained about the Super Obama dolls. They cost $50 each. But reportedly they are handmade. Morgan remarked about the frankenstien shoes and how the Michele doll seemed very muscular. (Now why is there two versions of the Michele Obama doll and only one of the President. Maybe a future question on the Edge, Is Michele Obama more popular than the president?)

A report about a mailman terrorized by turkeys. Fred said he was once chased by a duck and traumatized….

Mark Mathis was at the Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte. There is a new play called Souther Rapture that opens this Friday. The play was writteny by playright Eric Coble. It is a fictional account of the culture war here. This stems from 1996 when Angels in America came to Charlotte. There is full-frontal nudity in the play. There was thankfully no nudity at all from Mathis. You can find out more information about the play or to attend from the Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte. (How many even remember or were aware of what transpired in 1996 in the queen’s city?)

Osama Bin Laden Condoms

Osama Bin Laden Condoms

The Edge crew also brought up about Hitler Condoms. What I think was missed in this report was actually there is three different versions. Hitler, Mao Zedong and Osama Bin Laden. They are produced in Germany by Doc Morris Pharmacies.

The final report was of a Wisconsin nurse who was fired while she was in surgery. The nurse was, according to a health system spokesman considered “an otherwise good employee with more than 30 years of nursing experience.” The nuse was removed from a minor surgical procedure in violation of medical protocol so they could fire her. The spokesman called it “clearly, an error in judgment on the part of the manager.” The layoffs were 90 people in total from a staff of 4500 employees.
Fred said he is cancelling the operation for his butt implants because of this. He then stood up and displayed his butt. (Think we could have missed that. )
Lots of bad judgment on this show. Firing a nurse in surgery. Hulk Hogan with his comments. Hitler condoms. And Mark Mathis reporting. Go get your Obama dolls.
