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.
We still need a lampoon of Heath Shuler feeding at the insurance company troughs!
Or how about a lampoon of the Dems getting bent out of shape about opposing view points, and the new snitch line that was developed. And people say Bush was bad about 1st Amendment infringement.
Yeah, AD. Those Dems sure do get bent out of shape when the Republicans are forced to completely fabricate things like “Death Panels” because they have nothing of substance to argue about. Oh! And the way they are busing people around to town meetings with the intention of spreading fear and lies! That is so representative of substantial ideals. Go GOP! Let’s start a race-war!
Never said I was a Repub, just don’t like the 1st amendment being suppressed. Not for a race war either, and why race war? Why would it be a race war? So quick to make dumb assumptions, silly Faux Asheville Dweller.
Failure on your part whoever you are that decided to post under my name.
“Failure on your part whoever you are that decided to post under my name. ”
Says the guy who isnt really me either. Neither of you are the real Asheville Dweller. This is weird.
But guess who got registered first . . . .
