Twelve of fifteen headlines on the local daily’s web site pertain to the presidential visitation. There is, however, news. What’s more, there’s more for Ashevillians to do this weekend than hunker down with all the road closings. You can get out of town and go to the Polk County Tea Party, where the Carolina Journal‘s Rick Henderson (who dat?) will be speaking and handing out JLF teabags. They will be a real treat, as long as the stuffers leave out all the CJ‘s with the sick, twisted photoshop of John Edwards.
Festivities will be from 12:00-3:00 this Saturday at Sterns School, 125 East Mills Street, Columbus. If anybody knows this information to be in error, please correct it now rather than after-the-fact.
