Why The Blog

I decided to create this blog after watching WLOS' 6 PM 'newscast' tonight. Two stories about dogs to satisfy the animal lovers and women who cannot maintain a relationship and, thus, have a dog as a companion. You see them all over the place walking their dogs-alone. The other stories were fluff, as well. Some woman pandering tshirts for toddlers with the eco message. Is this news? Nope, not a bit. WLOS is about as good at journalism as the Hendersonville and Asheville newspapers are at spelling and grammar.

News in western North Carolina consists of fluff, mollifying apple farmers and the illegal mestizo population-a group which should have NO power, political or otherwise. What qualifies as news? Well, Henderson county's gang problem, for starters. Local law enforcement doesn't want to talk about it, the schools wont talk about it. So, for most citizens it doesn't exist. I did find one item in the Hendersonville newspaper that made some sense:

More softball than I would like to see but it is a start. The idea that we should turn our county over to illiterate, disease-ridden third worlders just some local farmers have cheap labor to pick their mushy apples is nuts. You farmers wanted WTO and NAFTA and now you have it. Compete with the Chinese apples or find another occupation.

I will also be talking about employers that hire these illegals. Look in the kitchen of any restaurant you frequent. Most likely you will find Mexicans doing the cooking which makes you wonder why Applebees or Binions should charge any more than McDonald's since the same expertise goes into making the food. In fact, readers of this blog will be hearing a lot more about Mr. Edwards, owner of the McDonald's in Henderson County and Brevard. He seems to have a special penchant for hiring third worlders to make food in his establishment. Maybe he is trying to save labor and make extra mortgage payments for that house of his in Kenmure.
