Town hall
Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
The sad truth is our Empty Suit would never attend one that wasn’t pre screened with fans. Heaven forbid someone objected to something he said.
I know! Now George Bush and Dick Cheney, [i]there[/i] were some public servants willing to face the opposition!
Asheville Dweller needs to hook up with Mystery Logger. It’s a match made in heaven.
Hey Cranky, there’s no legitimate comparison. Mystery Logger is just an unhappy flamethrower but Asheville Dweller makes a salient point.
So does a sea urchin.
Brebro has a point.
why does molten hate america, freedom, and apple pie?
Maybe the problem is that Obama needs more colorful plants, like we got in the Bush years:

No Obama got better plants, but they need acting leasons and not so obvious. You can spot his a mile away with the lame cup cake question they ask.
Assuming that’s true, then they’re hardly better plants.
