Beware "The Crazies"

(Halloween is upon us once again, and the crazies are coming out of the woodwork.  There's a particular eerie feeling in the air this year, what with the full moon, Halloween, and the presidential election all within two weeks of each other.  I use to enjoy Halloween.  I loved the little kids who came to the door in their costumes trying to muster up the courage to say "twickertweet" in hopes of getting some candy.  Now I'm glad I live in a very hilly neighborhood, with more up hills than down hills.  Keeps the little bastards from bothering me.  It's an age thing.  But I digress ...)

• Not sure how you feel about the final debate between Obama and Romney, but I'm sure you all have an opinion.  If "zingers" were the gauge of who won, this one went to Obama.  His comment to Romney about the military not needing bayonets and horses anymore was beautiful.  But as usual, the end of the debates signals the start of what I call "The Weirding."  For example:  General Colin Powell endorses Obama; Dick Cheney holds a fundraiser for Romney with Glenn Beck as special guest; former Republican official and current preacher tells his congregation "You can't be a Christian if you don't own a gun;" (The) Donald Trump offers to contribute 5 million dollars to Obama's charity of choice if he shows the world his college transcripts and passport information. What? 
• Bad Hat Comment of the Week:  In a Rolling Stone interview recently, President Obama finally told it like it is.   He called Mitt Romney a "bullshitter."  Could this be the beginning of a whole new trend in campaigning?
• Arthur writes: Omigod. Of all the earthly demonic forces I would HATE to have pursuing me across the surface of our home planet, Gloria Allred would be at the top of my list. Once she gets a taste of blood, she never stops.  The key points of the story would appear to be that the lady who got cheated in her divorce by Mitt Romney's dishonest testimony went on to having her wealthy husband take her child away from her, only to later reject and discard it, cut off her health insurance although she ALSO had MS (like Anne Romney, but minus the expensive therapeutic horse and two Cadillacs) and then she lost her house. Nice. A preview of what Romney might like to do for those slackers in the 47% of our nation. Screw them over bigtime:

• And what's a post about "crazies" without mentioning the queen of crazy, Ann Coulter?  Apparently after the third debate she referred to President Obama as "a retard."  Now, I've often wondered if Ann Coulter's act was just that, an act.  She not very bright.  She's more comedienne than pundit.  Even the right-wing don't take her seriously.  Yet she's still out there, vomiting all over herself.  She's like the passed out drunken co-ed in your roommate's bedroom who nobody wants to take home. 
• What's up with the Republican party and rape?  Several references to this heinous crime have been made by Republican officials lately, from "legitimate rape" to the latest from Richard Mourdock, Republican Senate candidate from Indiana, who has not retracted his debate remark that a pregnancy caused by rape "is something that God intended to happen."  Listen, wives of redneck American men:  Don't let your husband vote for you.  Tell him you'll do it yourself this year, because this time, you really care.
