So, yeah, nothing new here. Literally. Charles Taylor, unable to actually run a campaign on real issues, is apparently unable to find any new non-issues to criticize Heath Shuler for, so he's rehashing the non-voting thing. I won't be getting into what a waste of time this is, because that would stray from the point I wanted to make. If you look closely at the address label, and consult a state districting map, you'll notice something kind of odd. I blew the address label (address blurred by request) up by a few percentage points, and:

According to Wikipedia:

Newland is a town in Avery County, North Carolina, United States. The population was 704 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Avery County

I am completely convinced right now that the Taylor re-election campaign has become a complete comedy of errors. First they have automated message systems calling homes in the 11th District past their kids' bed-times and waking them up, now they're trying to run a smear campaign IN THE WRONG DAMN DISTRICT!!! If you're one of the saps who actually donated money to Taylor for Congress, you might want to drop them a line and ask them what part of your generous contribution went toward sending fliers to the wrong district.

If this were one of those 4-foot-long full-color glossy "official newsletters", this would be a serious and illegal problem. In this case, it's just plain stupid.

I dunno... I thought this was good for a nice, hearty CHUCKle.
