You can tell I'm bored when I start bringing up 20 or so people (individuals or classes) I can't stand.
The only common denominator is that they've either done or written something that makes me wonder if humanity is really worth anyone's time, much less mine.
Be forewarned: you may have to do some research.
(NOTE: silly me - I should've included links as evidence that the following individuals got their just deserts. Fair enough. I also kept some murderous sociopaths [read: people I've mentioned before like Bashir in the Sudan and Kony in Uganda] off the list just because they don't deserve to be figures of amusement - they deserve a lot more than that in terms of punishment, but that's not what this list was intended for.)
Media Creatures
Glenn Beck (for being nuts)
Paris Hilton (for being inspiration to a legion of similarly untalented bottle blondes and amateur porn actresses)
John Kass (for apparently wanting to become Chicago's answer to Glenn Beck)
Practically all "reporters" and "editors" from infotainment programs ranging from Entertainment Tonight to Access Hollywood to Cocaine Addicted Celebutante Nightly Report (okay, so that last one's a fake - soon, it probably won't be) [1]
Political Things I had to scrape off of my shoe
blue dog health care reform "negotiator" Senator Max Baucus
disgraced former Governor Rod Blagojevich
falangist lunatic Dick Cheney
weaselly former George Ryan henchman Scott Fawell
creationist mushwit Governor Bobby Jindal
lobotomized former Governor Sarah Palin
disgraced current governor Mark Sanford
Sports Figures of little - and I do mean little - renown
Milton Bradley, for being a whiner who cries wolf and - predictably - runs away
Plaxico Burress, for not buying a proper gun holster
Mike Ditka, for thinking his opinion on Jay Cutler matters
Patrick Kane, for being clueless and violent outside of a hockey rink
Shawne Merriman, for already assuming he's in the clear on potential domestic battery charges
Three more starting with the letter B - sort of
Birthers
Bernard Madoff
Patrick Buchanan
Dishonorable Mention
The entire former U of I Board of Trustees
[1] These shows really don't rate a link - look, you can't even turn on your TV without having this crap thrust in your face on a nearly 24-7 basis, so why should they get any more free publicity?
