WNCNN - Where Western North Carolina Comes For its God-Fearing News!
It's a bittersweet time for us here at WNCNN headquarters, as we have just wrapped production on our first season over the weekend. We are proud, and just a little misty, to present our Season Finale of God Fearin' News!
In this episode, Sally Love talks to an overly amorous political science professor with an interesting theory about the future of representative democracy, Nancy Pelosi visits the 11th District and reminds us once again that she's from California, a surprise dark-horse third-party candidate enters the Congressional race, and WNCNN gets ready for the big time as word gets out that they've been purchased by a major corporation!
I saw something this morning that nearly made my eyes pop out of their sockets and definitely caused me to do a spit-take all over my monitor. Before I get into that, a quick note:
One of my favorite movies of all time is the political satire Being There. This film was one of many over the years that have used Asheville's very own Biltmore Estate as its location, and has become a very important and indelible part of our culture here in Western North Carolina. In one of his most memorable roles this side of Inspector Clouseau or Dr. Strangelove, Peter Sellers played the role of Chance the Gardener, a simple man who, through extremely twisted acts of fate, winds up rising to public prominence.
Our local congressman is Republican Charles Taylor. A WNC native, he's also over the last several years become a very important and indelible part of our culture.
The following clips were shot at a rally that was held @ Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College on the afternoon of October 20th (last Friday):
WNCNN returns with its fifth episode of God Fearin' News!
In this episode our crack news team explores what has become a salient issue late in the election cycle: our vanishing mountain values. Roving reporter Sally Love is on the scene at a recent Immigration Town Hall Meeting, and gets an interview with Kristopher Kampbell Kline, the Imperial Grand Super Wizard of the 988th White District of the United States of White America; Crush fetishism is explained and demonstrated, and our own Mad Miss Maddie returns with a word or two about CAFTA.
The reason for the attack? Shuler and his family obeyed the 4th (or 3rd, depending on your faith) Commandment:
Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy.
After a one-week "mid-season hiatus" where the boys in the editing room decided to put together a Hal Needham-style "blooper reel" rather than assemble an entire episode (the evidence of which can be seen here), WNCNN, Western North Carolina's source for God Fearin' News is back with their fourth episode!
To follow up on an earlier post about Charles Taylor's recent "friend to the Veterans" campaign ad - on Saturday night (10/7/06) a commenter @ BlueNC pointed something out that I found very interesting. Click on the pic below for the full-sized version:
We found a cache of interview footage with Congressman Charles Taylor (NC-11) stored on a thumb drive that we forgot we had, and we figured that you all could use a good laugh this morning...
