The Buncombe County Commissioners just got out. I’m on double-duty. I’ll be covering the campaign parties for the Asheville Tribune while trying to keep up with this blog as often as possible. I envision myself mooching off of people with laptops. We’ll see.

Before I depart, though, I would like to express my utter repugnance by the whole scene. I honor George Washington for not wanting to be king, and I regret finding myself in a position where, for all intents and purposes, I appear to be a crazy groupie, obsessing over great government people. I think the dynamic encourages egomaniacs to run for office.

That said, “Let the games begin!”
