Brotha’ Fred is back from Vacation. Morgan Fogarty had to do double duty with the Fox News @ ten.

Tonight’s Top Topic: Does a candidate’s Sexuality Matter?

In Charlotte, Owen Sutkowski is running for district one city council and is openly gay. He will formerly announce this thursday. He is not running on gay rights issues but for better government transparency and increased community safety.
Morgan said if Charlotte wants to consider itself a world class city, we need to move away from the small-town mentality and include everybody. (I don’t agree. I will never accept cannibals into my community.)
Fred stated “I don’t know that we live in the most free-spirited part of the nation where people are open to different than the norm.” Morgan pointed out this is the bible belt.
grasshoppersThe next report was put-out as a company that makes chocalate. It was a put-on to get Fred to eat chocalate covered grasshoppers. Fred found the package was already opened and thought it had a laxative or similar drug in it until he noticed the bug. He did not eat it. Brien Blakely supplied the chocalate treats.
(Maybe it was funny to Morgan and the crew. I thought it was stupid.) Morgan said she would not eat it because she is a vegetarian.

Former A team member Mr. T threw out the first pitch at a Chicago Cubs game. He also sang “Take me out to the ball game” during the seventh inning stretch. The Edge crew had more to say about his pants than his singing.

lillyallenBritish singer Lilly Allen does not think Susan Boyle has talent. Fred said “Susan Boyle is a wonderful singer. Close your eyes.”

sara-dogGus from Project Halo brought Sara to the Edge. Gus said Sara had released a number of other dogs while at the York county kennel. Sara likes kids, other dogs and toys. You can see other Dogs and Cats available for adoption by Clicking HERE.

David Poole, the highly respected and loved NASCAR writer for the Charlotte Observer passed away today. You can read the full story at Racejunk.com

s-obama-shirtless-largeTonight’s Top Topic: How would you grade the President’s first 100 days?
Currently President Obama has a 63% approval rating. That is the highest in over thirty years for the first 100 days. Since Jimmy Carter was president. The Fox channel has decided that they will not air the President’s 100 day press conference on Wednesday. Instead they will air American idol. Fox will alert viewers during the broadcast of American Idol that they can tune into Fox News channel and Fox Business Network to hear the President speak.
It was questioned if the President’s honeymoon was over. Morgan brought up there are many, many things he needs to tackle at this time. Fred said people would be happy if he just fixed the economy.
Fred gave the President a “C” while Morgan gave him an “A” for ambition.

Because of Hulk Hogan’s recent comments (read the earlier entry on here) that he totally understands O.J. Simpson, his wife Linda is using those comments to get money. Linda filed papers in court, seeking a flat fee of $24,000 and $8200 more per month so that she can move to California to get away from Hulk. She said she is afraid he will pull an O.J. on her. Morgan stated that Linda should not be afraid since she has plenty of proection in the chest area….

 The health minister of Lebanon has said the Lebanese should stop the practice of greeting each other with kisses on the cheek. This is to help the fight against swine flu. This although swine flu has not yet been reported in that country although there has been a case reported in Israel to the south. Lebanese have long greeted each other with three kisses to the cheek.

shadow-hareA man in Cincinnati, Ohio who wears a spandex super hero jumpsuit calling himself the “Shadow Hare” has declared his own war on crime. His special powers include handcuffs, a taser and pepper spray which are legal for the general public to carry in Ohio for self defense purposes. Shadow Hare says he is part of a crime fighting syndicate called the “Allegiance of Heroes.” (also known as the “Underwear & pajam boys”) The Edge crew asked if they needed real jobs?

Gus from Project Halo brought Roo to the studio for the Pet of the week segment. Roo came from a home where he was bullied by two other dogs. Morgan brought up that black dogs are usually the first to be euthanized and the last to be adopted. Roo would be good with less dominant dogs. Roo is 2 years old and perfect for people with a fenced in yard or like to walk regularly.
 Great News!!! Leona who was previously on the show has been adopted. She also changed her name to Hope. If you might be interested in adopting Roo or another dog get in touch with
Project Halo.

During the lead-in to tonight’s Edge we learned Morgan wants more diamonds. Need to watch each night and see if she wears any new jewelry.

misscleo Top Topic: Are Psychic powers real? (maybe future question should be: Are PSYCOTIC powers real?) Morgan reported during the news about instead of seeking a financial advisor, seeking a psychic advisor. One in Mooresville was interviewed. Her prices start at $40. No where in the report was she asked to predict what Fred would be wearing for the show let alone the stock market. One woman interviewed who has used a psychic said they accuratly predicted she would get married. But there was no prediction about the fact she later got divorced.
   It was mentioned there have been several television psychics that were discovered to be fakes including Miss Cleo (aka Youree Dell Harris). Talked about the Psi wheel which is an object that is supposed to display one’s power’s of telekinesis. Made of paper or aluminum foil, a needle and spool of thread you display your “powers”  and it will spin. (Would have liked to see Morgan & Fred try it.) Morgan then read letters she found on a web site to see if Fred has psychic powers and he answered yes many times. But Fred did not seem to believe it. One question (paraphrasing) was Do you ever think there is someone behind the scenes telling you what to do? Fred answered, “Yes.” The Producer of the show! 
 It seemed many on the Edge Underground believe. One said she often knows about things with her family. Morgan said she thought it was more about being intune with your family and friends.

  The subject of Mark Mathis’s appearance on the Edge last week came up. Fred said Mathis “shook the table.” Morgan did not watch it live but did record it. She said Fred was the tame one during the show. (That was an understatement!)

 During the six o’clock newscast on KARK-TV Little Rock, Arkansas, Pete Thompson propsed on the air to his girlfriend Courtney Collins.  Fred brought up about having proposed to Morgan previously. (Seemed like Fred is still proposing.) Oh, And Courtney said “yes” to Pete.

 

   While waiting to see if Susan Boyle accepts her movie offer (discussed last night on the Edge) a new surprise british shaheenjafargholi_ltalent has appeared from, well Britain’s Got Talent tv show. This is the same show Susan Boyle appeared on. Shaheen Jafargholi is a welsh boy who has similarly captured the hearts of viewers in England. He sung Michael Jackson’s “Who’s Loving You.”

The Pet of the Week for this week was Sugar. A 9 year old Lab mix. MoFo called him a Polar Bear Lab. He was brought to the show by Gus of Project Halo. Sugar seemed to be well trained. It was discussed that Sugar was not a puppy. Of course you do not then need to deal with furniture being chewed, puddles on your floor and other issues only a puppy provides. Sugar was well behaved and is friendly with other dogs & kids. Sugar also does not need to be walked as often (which many people can appreciate on those rainy nights) or require constant attention a puppy needs. Contact Project Halo if you wish to adopt Sugar. Hopefully a fantastic home awaits him.

Ear on Arm A story perfect for the Edge was instead presented by Brien on the news. A man grows an ear on his arm. He is a 61 year old Australian artist and obviously mad. He spent 10 years trying to find a doctor willing to perform the operation. (Probably found more mental doctors who wanted to lock him up. ) It was implanted in 2006. He wants to get a microphone put into it.

The Edge crew discussed the new Panthers’ Schedule. The highlight of the story (and the show) was hearing Morgan say “Yuck.” Morgan was rooting for the Philidephia Eagles. Rebecca was heard off-camera for the Florida Gators. Seemed only Fred supported the local team. Sort of… But this did lead to Morgan doing her Yoda impersonation.

It was brought up that rumors are that Simon wants to leave American Idol. Of course as mentioned it probably is about getting more money. Morgan and Fred (or should it be Fred and Morgan???) said that although Simon has two other shows in England he should keep American Idol because it is big worldwide. THIS IS WRONG!!!
It is big in America. Get it “AMERICAN” Idol. In England (my sister lives there) has Pop Idol and they have no clue to the American version of the show. Similarly there is: Australian Idol, Latin American Idol, Canadian Idol, Pinoy Idol (Philippines), Idols West Africa, Indian Idol, Indonesian Idol, New Zealand Idol, Hay Superstar (Armenia), Idol stjörnuleit (Iceland), Nouvelle Star (France), American Juniors, Idol (Norway), Super Idol (Greece), Idol (Poland), Deutschland sucht den Superstar (Germany), Singapore Idol, Malaysian Idol, Vietnam Idol, Music Idol (Bulgaria), Ídolos (Brazil and Portugal), Solo Idol (Solomon Islands), Super Star (Arab World), Megasztár (Hungary) and Looking For You (Bangladesh) all with the same basic format.

Lindsay Lohan has done a fake E-harmony commercial. She makes fun of herself. (Hard to laugh at some of it as she has done some things that should have had her locked up in jail.) Fred said “She is a moron” but MoFo seems to want to give Lindsay more credit.

Being it is Tuesday it was Pet of the Week time. And now they have a sponsor for it. All about the money. Today it was Camel, an adorable Chihuahua. The dog earned the name becasue his bark sounds like he was smoking camels. Or maybe not. Gus from Project Halo was with Camel this week. It should be noted all of Project HALO’s dogs are up-to-date on their shots and spayed or neutered. You can find out more information about Camel, Project HALO or adopting other dogs from their website.
