Yes, it's true. We can't stand Tonya Jameson and her tacky self or her high school level musings about life as a gay minority in Charlotte without ever having the guts to come out and actually say it. Maybe she's not allowed to say it, but this makes her a hypocrite (although this is nothing new). Then again, if I were a gay Charlottean ( and I have many gay friends here in Charlotte), an idiot like Tonya would be the last person, I'd want speaking for me.
Anyway, I'd just thought I'd let the world know that it's not just Tonya. The Charlotte Observer is overrun with idiots. If I've missed anyone or you disagree, feel free to chime in.
* Dannye Romine Powell - Is an 80-something year old Dilworth resident who writes poetry so rancid it would make a 4th grade creative writing teacher vomit. Her prose mostly addresses such hard-hitting and interesting topics like the beads of sweat that form on her grand children's foreheads while they're playing croquet in the backyard; or condescending 'village idiot' anecdotes about lovable, mentally disabled people who do eccentric things in Myers Park, like illegally direct traffic, collect cans, or ride purple bicycles around while wearing orange suspenders. Her contributions are limited and thankfully, she probably doesn't even know what a blog is.
* Tommy Tomlinson - Gets the honor of ugliest Observer columnist photo in the publication's history. Judging by his face alone, he must weigh at least 327 lbs. It's practically a sure bet Tommy hasn't actually seen his penis since 7th grade. He's more or less a younger, hipper, more "common-man" version of Dannye, and mainly writes about things like youtube.com and myspace - 3 years after everyone else on the planet discovered them. He's so relevant. Pet store owner are big T.T. fans, since they know as long as he has a job, they'll always have something to line bird cages with, and to help absorb puppy pee.
* Tom Sorenson - What a douche bag. I've met 15 year old girls who could talk about sports more intelligently than Sorenson. Hearsay , innuendo, and Sorenson's own valueless opinions play a make up a significant amount of his output as a sports writer. If I was a professional athlete, this goon would be the last person I'd want to see holding up a DAT recorder in my face after a loss. Apparently his bosses somehow forced him into creating a blog, which he updates semi-annually.
* Julie York Coppens - The O's insanely bitter Femi-Nazi theatre critic, who was apparently born with a large bug in her ass. She was the resentful kid in high school that never got to be in any school plays because she was so homely and talentless. Now she unfairly takes it out on semi-professional actors in Charlotte, most of whom do it for kicks and have day jobs. She mainly kisses all the right asses and writes about the performing arts scenes in most NC cities......Except Charlotte's.

It is difficult to take seriously any blogger/writer who cannot summon the intellect necessary to get their point across without using profanity, racial slurs, and childish attacks on a person's physical appearance. I have never read the the Charlotte Observer and only know who Tonya Jameson is by chance web-surfing, but I find it more than a little comical that someone would slam someone else's writing ability (high-school level musings...) when their own grammatical abilities do not exceed that of the average fifth grade student (I'd just thought I'd...).
