Glengarry Doug Parker: Oatmeal is for closers.
Dammit Duke Energy, you made a grown CEO cry.
World Net Daily, your source for birther news, apparently didn’t provide the long-form application for media credentials. (h/t @GonzoDNC)
Some DNC emails are referring to Bank of America Stadium as “Panthers Stadium.” In related news, Bank of America is headquartered in Tall Building.
Congratulations Richard Hudson. You won a congressional runoff and your dog has 58 followers on Twitter.
Some guy’s strategy guide to winning runoffs includes this best practice: AVOID RUNOFFS.
Crime Wave: Police say Charlotte is being plagued by scooter thieves.

Proof that Ohio is slowly invading Charlotte: The Duke Energy Center was lit in the green and white colors of Ohio University Thursday night.
The Pitbull of realtors: This weird press release says this realtor’s video blog is getting international attention. “I’m seen in Canada, in the United States. I’m seen in England, Saudi Arabia. I’m seen in Romania.” Dude, the hackers are on to you.

Richard Thurmond is editor and associate publisher of Charlotte magazine and its four sister publications. He started his journalism career as a sportswriter before he realized sportswriting = bad hours and low pay. Oh well. He's been on staff since 1995 and editor since 1999. Also, he thinks he is funnier than he really is, which is helpful information for reading this blog. Got something to say but too chicken to comment?
