This year more than any other in recent memory, makes having the election two days after Halloween more appropriate. W have discussed it among ourselves and we have witnessed the absolutely scary things members of the TP/GOP have had to say. Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have all covered it for over a year. The crop the TP/GOP has put forward looks very much like a Halloween costume party.
We have a witch. We have a woman who looks like Phillip Seymour Hoffman. And several other assorted characters. Not to mention a whole movement dressing up in Revolutionary War garb.
Jon Stewart or Bill Maher had a better pic of Meg's twin.
The characters abound this year. It truly is fitting that the Halloween season and the election season overlap. And if ever we needed proof, this year has provided it.
On with the games!!
Mojo Friday Guidelines
- If you comment you have to recommend all comments. (in order to receive mojo you have to give mojo. It's only good mojo manners.)
- Everything you say may be taken as a joke (so if you ask a question, expect a silly answer)
- You must recommend the diary (and pimp it unapologetically)
- You don't have to comment to recommend.
- You can't steal my idea (right, like that ain't goin' to happen)
- Please, no pictures or YouTubes until after 300 comments. Now, after 300, use a little common courtesy and be responsible in the number.
- Mojo mojo mojo mojo, mojo mojo mojo.
- TexDem (that's me) is not bound by the guidelines. Heh
