Happy Halloween! **Open Thread**

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on October 31, 2009 at 10:20 PM in Barney Frank, Current Affairs, Nancy Pelosi

Well, it being Halloween and everything, I thought about doing some snarky kind of post about politicians who are particularly scary, like Nancy Pelosi, or Barney Frank. But then I thought, “Why ruin a perfectly nice holiday?” Ahem.

So – for your enjoyment, I have the following photographs, sent to me by my cousin, who got them heaven-only-knows-where (somewhere on the internet). The headline of the emails was, “When Farm Kids Get Bored,” and who happen to be a bit creative (who knows if these were even done by kids?). Anyway, for your Halloween Viewing Pleasure, here they are:



I hope you have a good, safe, day. Happy Halloween, everyone!

    Thanks for the pics, Amy. Our trick or treaters left 5 pieces of candy despite the rotten weather.

    I love Halloween, always have. A celebration of the dead. And the living. But more importantly, the continuation.

    Happy Halloween everyone. Or a prosperous and hearty Samhain, depending on your point of view!

    Scozzafava is out of the New York 23 race. According to Ann Coulter — Sarah Palin talked her into quitting for the good of the party.

    • oowawa

      This is a big story with far-reaching ramifications.

      • Onofre’s arm

        I think Palin will emerge from her “trial by fire” as a powerful force to be reckoned with. The mark of a strong, determined leader. Had the fragile egoed Obama been exposed to a similar trial by fire, he would simply have emerged as a crispy critter.

          I don’t know if you read Parade or not, but there was a question in there today abt Sarah Palin and her “claim” in her book that she graduated from college. The author of the question said he had read that she had just taken a few courses.

          Sigh.

          And THAT is the kind if intentional misinformation that was put out abt her by the Obama campaign (you know it had to be one of their minions. Like their PR guy who put out all those rumors abt her, e.g., she banned Harry Potter – BEFORE IT WAS EVEN WRITTEN, crap like that.).

          • Onofre’s arm

            I don’t usually read Parade, but I’m not surprised by the stupid question regarding Palin. People on the right have to be extremely carefull with statements of fact. If Palin ever were to claim something (like graduating college) that later turned out to be false, her career would be over. You can be certain that she would never put in print something that could so easily be disproven. Perhaps we need to identify and name a new group of conspiracy nitwits “Palin truthers”.

            The recent controversy with Rush is a good example of the double standard. Five years ago Rush made the comment that many sports journalists inflated Donovan McNabb’s acomplishments because they wanted a black quarterback to be successful. That’s a debateable statement and worthy of consideration. I didn’t see it as racist, the way it was trumped up to be. It became a huge controversy that got him fired from MNF. Just recently, a very prominent figure on the left (I forget who right now) made the rather common knowledge type statement that the media were understandably pulling for Obama because he was the first black President. Not an eyebrow was raised. How is that statement ANY different from Rush’s observation? Because Rush was unfairly pilloried back then, it set the board for even greater character assassination this time around when he was part of a group attempting to buy the Rams. Intentional defamitory misinformation of fictional racist statements that Rush never made was the form of this latest distortion campaign. But unlike Rush, Palin doesn’t have vast monetary reserves to fight similar devious and maliciously false attacks. So, without the ability of an effective counter attack, Palin will remain the favorite target for such spurious assaults, unless or until a large block of her supporters help her fight back. Creeps like Letterman and Olbermann need to be hammered EVERY TIME they take cheap shots at her. When it finally becomes unpopular lie about, or unfairly ridicule Palin, the attacks will stop from all but the most rabid detractors. Support for and faith in Palin’s future, is not misplaced.

      I don’t mean to correct you, Mountainaires, but don’t you mean Obama is channeling Bush AGAIN??

      Why am I not the least bit surprised by this article? Sheesh.

      Thanks foxy voter – I had seen she was dropping out. Interesting indeed.
