Maybe Robin is too busy making those last day personal wake up calls????
Wake-Up call subscribers today is the last day that Robin will be calling your house! Make sure you have something (or someone) else ready to get you up on Monday! full details
Good Morning Campers!
Happy Friday! We’re hoping today isn’t as wild as it was yesterday here atMorning Express World Headquarters. Between the ice storm and this mystery sick bug that’s been floating around, Thursday was nuts! So lets cross our fingers and get to the weekend.
Robin is out today. Natasha Curry will be behind the anchor desk to drop some knowledge on you this morning.
Here’s what we’re working on:
After days of accusations and threats, the tax deal that President Obama made with Republicans was passed by the House late last night. Some people from both sides of the aisle are still fuming about it for various reasons. Find out this morning what this deal will mean for you as the President gets ready to sign it into law.
The weather is still crazy out there and we’re still a week away from winter. People around the country were skidding, sliding, and crashing for most of the day yesterday. Rule of thumb: If you see a TV camera by a stop sign…STAY AWAY! Our weather guru Bob Van Dillen is back today to give you a preview of today.
We are hearing from the security guard that stopped that attack at a school council meeting in Florida. You’ll hear in his voice how tough a decision it was to save the day. It’s really moving stuff.
Nothing says sports like stuffed animals. Wait until you see the video of a minor league hockey game that had to be stopped because the fans started throwing TEDDY BEARS on the ice. Like 20,000+. Wow! Sports guru Rafer Weigel will be on top of it this morning.
We’ve had pancakes, grilled cheeses, and bridge underpasses. Now we have a guy who says he has seen an image of Jesus and The Virgin Mary in a piece of hard holiday candy! It’s really something to chew on. HA!
So that’s it for now. We hope to see you dark and early at 6a ET sharp.
Good Mornin' Sunshine! Who doesn't love waking up to Robin Meade on HLN Monday through Friday mornings? See pictures of Robin Meade, her husband Tim and doggies, as well as Robin making special appearances and even some personal pictures taken at home and with family (not affiliated with Robin Meade, HLN or CNN)
Tomorrow is My Last Wake Up Call
Tomorrow (Friday 12/17) I'll be making my last wake-up call! So if you are signed up for that service please have a new wake-up method ready for Monday! We don't want you to oversleep!
Getting Trapped Because of Icy Traffic
Holy crud.
There's a humongous sheet of ice. And it’s covering Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia, etc.
No joke. It’s gonna trip up your day if you live in the effected areas.
(I had to crawl and clamber my way to the mulch beds of my yard for traction to make it to my ride, which was stuck in my drive on ice. After that I got stuck in standstill traffic on the highway—which is where I am right now as I write this. So if I'm not sitting in the anchor chair that means I'm still sitting in ice-still traffic.)
--------
Well that's not the only story that’s huge today.
No matter if it’s me or Ryan Smith (he's on standby in case I don't make it in time), we will also be talking about:
No more drop side cribs.
If your baby is napping in one this morning... the government wants you to stop using it now.
We are talking BANNED because babies can get trapped and die.
More on the show.
--------
Michael Vick says he wants a dog! Rafer has that. sound off on our Facebook Page
-------
VW and Chrysler recalls: Is your car affected?
It’s on our website now--cnn.com/Robin (scroll down to "Express Links")
--------
A group is suing McDonald’s to force the fast food giant to stop using toys to entice children to want meals the group says are unhealthy. Ryan has that.
--------
Well here I sit in traffic with a driver. But the newsletter is goooing out!

Unbelievable Video of Florida School Board Shooting
Have u called your local radio station that plays holiday music and asked them to play the Christmas version of my song "Welcome Home"?
My niece said she heard it on the radio the other day in Ohio. I have yet to hear it.
So ask for "Welcome Home" by Jim Brickman featuring Robin Meade(holiday version)!
-------
(Complete Long Version Video Below)
You'll watch as a man with a grudge *and a gun* enters a school board meeting.
He rambles on and on and then shots break out.
See how this all ended with nobody else hurt.
And how about the woman that attacks him WITH HER PURSE?
----------
Wait a minute..
How did saccharin suddenly get taken off the list of hazardous substances when it’s been on there for 3 decades?
-------------
It breaks your heart to hear what many kids are asking Santa for this year.
But there is a way to help.
--------------
I could swear they *taught us* to use these words on our résumé.
Now see what phrases are so cliché, you'd better get them off of there.
(Proven track record, anyone?)
---------------
What were you doing in 8th grade?
I’ll bet not this:
See how many of them are thinking and acting like these are high times.
--------------
Send in the helicopters:
See how hundreds of drivers are doing now after they were stranded for nearly 24 hours in snow drifts!

Sure Sounds Like a Job For Robin1
Moreover, we have been making some format changes to the show to make it better suited to the morning and to better reflect the way people view news as they’re getting going with their day. By that I mean I’ve asked for the show to be more upbeat and faster-paced and for us to look carefully at the kinds of stories we’re covering during that daypart. We’ve already started in this direction — you may have noticed fewer long packages and a broader selection of stories and some changes to the set and look of the show — and we’ll be continuing down this path.from a big-wig at CNN...
"upbeat and faster-paced" ?... that's Robin Meade and Jen and Bob and Rafer!
Go Robin!
Master of the Obvious: It's a Freezing Blizzard Out There
We are in a deep freeze.
The bitter cold is gripping most of the nation.
From North Carolina to North Dakota… the temps are low.
We will ask Bob, where is our relief?
----------
You'll see how many people got trapped for hours in a huge snowstorm.
(What a nightmare commute, dontcha think?)
-----------
All those airline baggage fees we’ve been paying are adding up… for the airlines, that is.
------------
Brett Favre calls it quits--his starting streak anyway.
Did you know when that started… Bill Clinton hadn’t been elected president yet and Miley Cyrus hadn’t been born yet?
---------------
Tune in to see the crazy dashcam video of a police officer being hit by a car. The officer is ok, thank goodness.
---------------
Who pays when love goes away?
A would-be bride is suing her former fiancé for the wedding that never happened.
Tweet me on this one... @RobinMeade. Have you had a similar experience?
--------------
We’re a step closer to finding out if we’ll all be paying higher taxes in January.
--------------
There's a lot more news awaiting your pajama-bottom-bingo self.....when ya tune in.

Is Robin Meade Leaving Morning Express?
Last week's speculation was CNN was thinking of moving Robin Meade to CNN's American Morning.
Robin's HLN's Morning Express, has been drawing strong ratings lately for CNN's sister network.
Robin's HLN's Morning Express, has been drawing strong ratings lately for CNN's sister network.
Gossip has circulated for months that CNN is on the verge of dumping John Roberts and Karin Chetry in favor of a program featuring an ideological clash between hosts or even a petting zoo, anything to attract some eyeballs. But with the show’s audience dropping below a quarter of a million viewers, the rumors are gaining some urgency. The Huffington Post reported he was telling Chetry to quit typing so loudly. (Maybe she was doing her resume?) But who knows? Maybe he was really talking to Robin Meade.
