Letter: Please vote crazy over evil

Graphic by Lori Deaton

I have no problem at all voting for crazy people. This is essentially because a stopped clock is right twice a day, where a lying clock, programmed intentionally to deceive and exploit you, is never right.

So when the choice is between crazy and evil, which is the best choice I have ever seen on a ballot without my own name on it, voting for the nutcase is the easy choice.

So please vote crazy for City Council, because right twice a day is the best we are likely to see on an Asheville or Weaverville ballot.

    Aaaww, c’mon…..I got a good chuckle from that one. He has a certain – ahem – timely logic.

    Alan, you’re gonna have to be more specific. Who’s crazy & who’s evil in this campaign? Edumacated voters need to know…

    since writing this I have actually realize both black women, Dee Williams and Seneika Smith, might actually be right more than twice a day. Kim Ronan appears to be right about twice a day, the others are almost never right.
