It can’t be Keith Olbermann’s “Worst Person Ever” or Stephen Colbert’s “On Notice,” although his “Dead to Me” board might be closer to what we’re trying to accomplish.

Ah yes, may it rest in peace. But that may be the least of their misdeeds. To wit:
1) Endorsing Bush
2) Dropping, for no apparent reason, film reviews–true, critical film reviews– by a local reviewer and printing only excerpts of fluff from wire services
3) Keeping Scott Stantis on staff
4) Employing one drop of ink in the service of spreading the bile that erupts from Cal Thomas
5) Endorsing Bush again

Sure, they finally got square on the death penalty in this state and I believe they do their best to instill civic pride, sincerely, but demolishing a historic building for a parking lot (Jesus H, how cliche) only makes them look hypocritical w/r/t downtown revitalization, one of their professed pet causes.

Good idea. I'm excited about seeing other potential list candidates like, hmmm, Cong. Terry Everett, Cong. Spencer Bachus from the U.S. House. Who else goes on the List? Well, not Dick Shelby, he saved vulcan. And not Roy Moore, he saved the 10 commandments. Can we nominate the Birmingham Design Review Committee and the Hanson family, which in addition to demolishing the News building, deserves some credit for killing at least one other Birmingham daily newspaper? I'm sure there are more ... A LIST!!!
