Trick or treat…

The Anchoress reminds us that, politics aside, Halloween can be a lot of fun.

If you are looking for a suitable Halloween costume accessory, Fausta has unearthed a perfect Obama button at GAP stores–particularly suitable for those in the Chicago area; dress as a dead person and you’ll have the perfect Chicago Democrat voter costume!

Two nights from now our children will be trick or treating, but tonight we get treated to All Obama TV. Really, couldn’t he have scheduled it on October 31; that at least would have been amusing. They’ve spared no expense to bring us this messianic infomercial, full of pomp and pretense, but when you’ve got $600,000,000 to spend, what’s $3 million to lock up a half hour of prime time TV air on four major networks?

In honor of their being the only network to exhibit any sense whatsoever, I will be watching Pushing Daisies on ABC.

As if this election cycle isn’t creepy enough, some people are determined to make it even creepier. They hang an effigy of an Obama ghost from a tree, and properly get condemned for it by their community leaders.

Note how the media photographer made sure the McCain/Palin sign would be prominent in the foreground.

Not to be outdone, a North Hollywood couple (reminding me once again why I’d rather move to North Dakota than North Hollywood) hung an effigy of Sarah Palin from the chimney of their house.

And they become a stop on the Hollywood bus tours; It’s “art.”

According to the “artist,” because of the history of lynching in the US, we’re not supposed to feel the same way about seeing a white woman being hung as we do about a black man being hung. Its much worse to hang an effigy of a black man.

Great logic there: Some hatred is funny, some is not.

Apparently hating Jews is funny, or at least acceptable. Then again, why is the MSM determined to hide the video of such a fun event? Perhaps it might genuinely scare the voters. It ought to terrify them. Can’t have this right before the election, can we?

Offering a reward might shake that video loose. Then again, that video might be what it takes to pry the mask off Obama, and the MSM can’t have that. Little Green Footballs reminds us that they’re awfully good at making things disappear.

Each day closer to November 4, I am reminded more and more of the fictitious character Nicolae Carpathia.

Trick or treat indeed.
