help nominate atlanta’s grinch of the year
okay, granted i stole the idea from metroblogging los angeles, but it sounded like fun so why the hell not.
basically i am looking for your help to choose atlanta’s grinch of the year.
the idea is to pick any individual or group who has impacted a cross section of atlanta, or the city as a whole, in any negative way. they define “grinch” or “scrooge.”
some suggestions to get the ball rolling could include mike ‘the dog fighter’ vick, the army corps of ‘protect the oysters’ engineers, bobby ‘defectin’ to arkansas’ petrino, sonny ‘pray for rain’ perdue, the atlanta narcotics squad, etc.
anyway, you get the idea. leave your nominations in the comments between now and new year’s eve. the metblog writers will pick the five finalists and in the first week of the year we’ll ballot by comments.
okay, nominations are now open.
God for causing the drought. Duh.
My vote is for Vick. What a fool.
What about the Grinch who Commercialized Christmas. We would have to throw Macy’s in this category for having Christmas Decorations up in the stores in September. At least wait until after Halloween!
I nominate…the King children for continued greed and mismanagement of their parents’ legacy.
I nominate Chris Carlos, the water waster, who was using as much as 400K gallons a month.
When the news hit the media, he hired a PR firm to represent him to the media.

Cayman Hervey. She has ruined carpets, sleep schedules and the overall peace on Glenwood Ave.
I would nominate the bastard(s) who burglarized my home on Thanksgiving, but since he/they will never be found, I nominate Mayor Franklin, Chief Pennington, and the Neal Street Commandos for making Atlanta a scary-ass place to live once again.
