“Mr Bell compared a child walking to the bus or his mother’s car after school had ended and the child having to see sweets at the bake sale and therefore being forced to eat them compared to a grown man exposing himself naked under a coat for the child to see!!! What the hell kind of sponsor is that for KFI?”–A listener

Show Log For Friday, December 10, 2010

Well tonight Margaret Grey returned to try and pitch John Edwards again. This time she told Phil she wanted to see Edwards have the chance to speak at his ex-wife Elizabeth’s funeral. “This is a chance for John to say ‘for Elizabeth it’s goodbye but my kisser isn’t going anywhere’, tastefully of course. I even see perhaps, done with humor, a John Edwards button pinned to Elizabeth’s body. You see Phil it’s all in the context, like the song says.” She then attempted to sing a song she called “In The Context” that was horrible.

We also featured a rare interview with Dr. Ron Tarner from the Science Council For Racial Equality. Dr. Tarner was joining with the magazine Mother Jones and others to say that a Duncan Hines commercial with cupcakes covered in black chocolate dancing to a beat box was racist and that it was only the tip of the iceberg. Tarner remarked that most chocolates today are in colors that reflect the “skin colorations of black people” and that one could come home and make cookies that “look like a black.” In Dr. Tarner’s world, that is unacceptable….

Neil Rogers Surgery Canceled-Open Heart Surgey Deemed Too Riskey.

from the Sun Sentinel

December 07, 2010|By Tom Jicha, Staff Writer

Open-heart surgery on South Florida broadcast legend Neil Rogers, rescheduled on Friday, was canceled by doctors on Tuesday. Rogers was considered too weak for what was labeled “high risk” surgery to clear arterial blockages, according to his attorney and friend Norm Kent.

Rogers, 68, has suffered two heart attacks and a stroke since last summer. He also suffers from diabetes.

Rogers’ doctors and those looking out for his interests, including Kent, were discussing the next phase of his treatment, which is expected to be hospice care. One option is to move Rogers and have him cared for in his Plantation Acres home, Kent said.

Friends who have visited Rogers at the hospital, including former radio colleagues Steve Kane and Craig Worthing, said he lapses between lucidity and being unaware of his surroundings.

Rogers, who left WQAM in June 2009 when his contract was bought out, has been living most of each year in Toronto. He returned to South Florida on Nov. 7 for treatment and to be closer to friends.
