• Local economic woes

News / The Wack List The Wack List: Feb. 15 — Catholic bishops, global-warming doubters and more
Posted By Carlton Hargro on Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 9:20 AM
It's back! The five people, places and things we really ain't digging today:
• People who believe that our currently harsh winter is a sign that global warming doesn't exist. Jeez, I want to just strangle these dumb-fucks! NPR just reported on the scientific side of this dumbass train of thought. And The Daily Show did a funny skit about this very thing recently:
• Catholic bishops in Ireland who've been covering up for pedophile priests. I went to catholic school most of my life growing up in the Midwest, and I never saw any abuse firsthand — but what's been going on in Ireland is mind-blowing and incredibly criminal.
• We definitely are upset that this Shelby girl is still missing. If you've got any information, please come forward and help.
• Bank of America ... really I should just leave them on the list forever.
• The fire that destroyed the Big Ben British Pub in Myers Park. We'll be sure to keep you guys posted on the re-opening.

Five people, places and things we really ain't digging today.
• Mark Sanford. Again. And it seems like 50 percent of the voters in South Carolina agree with me.
• Time Warner Cable. They are reportedly testing "Internet TV," which — according to the Charlotte Business Journal — "would involve making television shows available via the Internet." Hate to rain on the company's parade, but I liked this idea better when it was called Hulu.com.
• Health care town hall meetings. Again. (A local reporter recently attended one and wrote about his experience.)
• Folks who are against same-sex adoption.

Five people, places and things we really ain't digging today.
• The late Ryan Jenkins. Sadly, his alleged murder scandal was the most interesting thing to come out out of that dumb-ass reality show Megan Wants a Millionaire.
• People who hate on street food. Hey, I liked the stuff before it got all gourmet and stuff. Taco carts rock.
• The latest unemployment figures.
• Anyone who compares Obama to Hitler.
• The fact that N.C. construction jobs are down 18 percent.

Five people, places and things we really ain't digging today.
• Dubai — for daring to fuck up production of the Sex and the City movie sequel. Bastards.
• The earnings dip at Lowe's — where is the light at the end of this tunnel?
• The U.S. Postal Service.
• Debt counseling groups that charge upfront fees
• Health insurance companies.

News / The Wack List The Wack List: Aug. 10 — Bank of America, Canada haters and more
Posted By Carlton Hargro on Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 9:12 AM
Five people, places and things we really ain't digging today.
• Bank of America ... well just the all the crap surrounding the bank these days. It's never good to have Charlotte's biggest industry in the shitter.
• People who think that Canada's health care system sucks. Don't believe the hype about long lines and such — folks in that country are doing a lot better than us.
• Speaking of health care, you know who's really wack about now? Those blithering idiots who disrupt town hall meetings about health care. Yeah, that's a great way to help the dialogue in this country.
• The dude who was sending death threats to Beyoncé. Man, you better leave my future ex-wife alone!
• More swine flu? Great. Fucking great.

Five people, places and things we really ain't digging today.
• People who hoped Sonia Sotomayor wouldn't get confirmed. Hey, dry those tears haters. (Photo courtesy of Newscom)
• John Edwards' campaign payoff probe.
• Folks who think "Cash for Clunkers" is a bad idea.
• Ann Coulter — well for being Ann Coulter ... and — according to PoliticsDaily.com — for getting ready to deliver a speech tonight titled "Taking Down Liberalism With Beauty and Brains." My question: What beauty and what brains?
• This morning's deadly hit-and-run in Catawba County.

Five people, places and things we really ain't digging today.
• Whoever doesn't think that the poster of Obama (above) circulating around the Web is racist. It might be a riff on the Joker, but it's also obviously meant to be a reverse "blackface."
• Dudes who assault sex workers from Craigslist.
• Politicians who choose not to confirm Judge Sonia Sotomayor as a Supreme Court Justice because she's supposedly a racist or an "activist judge." Her judicial record suggests she's a moderate if anything.
• The fact that blood in N.C. is drying up.
• The sick nut who's stalking Miley Cyrus.
