I posted an article on the Neo-Pagan Religious Festival called Transformus on WNC Citizens Blogyesterday, including a photo of last year’s temple burn, and videos a participant posted to you tube.
The festival is based on the Burning Manthat takes place every year in the Nevada desert.
Asheville is really living up to their new motto (Any Way You Like It) designed to bring in the tourists, and this Neo-Pagan Festival seems to fit the bill.
This is “The Battle of Frog Town” mock battle by members of the 25th NC Infantry Civil War re-enactors as part of the 5th Annual Franklin Folk Festival in Franklin, NC this past Saturday, the 19th of July.
This is one of the photos I took of the dastardly Yankee criminals as they attacked the 25th North Carolina Infantry in FrogTown near Franklin, NC on Saturday. I will have a full video and photo report of the battle later this morning.
I will say that the McCain Campaign is appearing to be the most poorly run affair since the Fred Thompson Campaign. At least Fred let people self-organize, and I was proud to be part of that. I have tried to get in touch with the McCain people about organizing a ground game in western North Carolina, but they do not seem to be interested. “We’ll win that part of the state anyway, so why waste resources there?” That mentality will cost them the election, mark my words.
Peace out, people. I will be out of communication for most of the day today as I attend the Franklin Folk Festival in Franklin, NC. I am looking forward to a wholesome good time.
You might see a small part of the activities on this webcam.
I’ll be posting this year’s A Taste of Scotland Videos on WNC Citizens Blog, and have posted the first one already. I’ll be posting more throughout the day tomorrow.
This year, I pretty much stayed near the Gazebo Stage so I could catch most of the music and dance performances.
Ever have a relative who bored you to tears with slides of their latest trip? I’m that relative…only with a blog…so you can watch them at your leisure.
Here are the best photos I took Saturday at the Nikwasi Celebration, divided into two parts:
I have the first part of the video program edited, and will edit more tonight with an anticipated release by midday tomorrow.
McCain Throws Phil Gramm Under Bus
Posted by Thunder Pig on July 19, 2008
What is he doing? Competing with Obama on who can throw the most people under the bus?
Phil Gramm made the mistake of correctly identifying Americans as whiners, and John McCain could not take the heat…so he tossed Gramm aside.
A local lefty, Errington Thompson, has the MSNBC video.
