Hodge Me Away

According to the Associated Press, Republican hodge-podge is now legal in the State of North Carolina.

The Price Is Right

The president is letting people get free tickets to see him. They will be given away at gate six of the WNC Ag Center. Purportedly, members of the media will have to arrive at the airport at around 5 a.m. Monday – for secyourity, no doubt.

More Easy Money

Yesterday, I mentioned the proliferation of brew and wine businesses opening in the area as well as the rush for dry counties to become wet. Well, Buddy, have another.

Occurama

The City of Asheville has been negotiating with occupants. They are throwing around the idea of letting them occupe under the Lexington Avenue Bridge, where there is a mural for which the city contracted and a parallel graffiti mural. Free water and electricity are available at this location, but the city intends to charge a $25 permit fee, which the occupants intend to pay in pennies.

I heard a blurb on the radio this morning about the Wall Street occupants. The announcer observed that the owner of the park had rights, too.

One twit on the occupants’ web page stated of the movement:

Noah Byrd: This is what happens when hippies and stoners try to organize a political movement. Just throwing ideas at a wall to see what sticks.

I would add that in my experience, nobody even noticed when an idea was trying to stick to the wall.
