Times are a-changin'
Young stars at Sunday's Billboard Awards like Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus got hassled for their megalomaniacal arrogance and ridiculous costumes, but Prince and Madonna took the stage with no controversy. Does this mean the old pros have finally passed the crazy-torch to the next generation of self-obsessed psychopaths?
Wiretap 'this'
The Department of Justice secretly acquired two months of phone records from the Associated Press last year, and now the entirety of journalism is pissed. It might not seem like a big deal, but to us it's as if they just murdered our sacred calf and took a year to tell us. We take privacy seriously — whenever we're not invading yours.
Tighten that belt
The N.C. Senate released its budget proposal for the next year on Sunday. We don't have to read that closely to know it's not going to be good for us. But what nonessential corners are left to cut? How high can CCI prices go before the people say, "enough"? Pretty soon we'll have to go all the way to Franklin for free toilet paper.
Snapchat?
All in all it's been a pretty tragic and horrible week for North Carolina, America and humanity. But on the bright side we've finally discovered the dazzlingly brilliant revolution in 21st century communication that is Snapchat. Expect all depressing news in the future to be delivered with a goofy sad face or a photo of our cat.
