    Not-So-Fun Run: Joggers In 'Gerrymander 5K' Must Run Oddly Shaped Route

    OK, so this is funny...and not so funny.

    Not-So-Fun Run: Joggers In 'Gerrymander 5K' Must Run Oddly Shaped Route

    How do you make people understand the odd forms created by gerrymandering? Make them feel it in their toes.

    That's the idea behind the Gerrymander 5K happening Saturday in Asheville, N.C., which will trace the boundary between North Carolina's 10th and 11th Congressional districts.

    LOL. That is funny. The law school group at WVU used to sponsor a 5K run for law students where they chased an ambulance. Not sure if they still do it or not.

    The people in Asheville are an odd bunch in and of themselves. I doubt that anyone will think this is odd to them.

    Asheville's motto is "If its too weird for Asheville, its too weird"

    You want to see an odd gerrymander district check out Florida's Third Congressional District. It was created for the single purpose of getting Corrine Brown elected.

    Oh, there are much worse. But apparently, Asheville has a sense of humor about it.
