Halloween is next weekend, which means that starting next Friday, you will be forced to pretend that each of the 700 billion Sarah Palin costumes you see is hilarious, winning, and topical. This will be terrible—an exercise in bad faith that will test the very resilience of the human condition. So! Enjoy this sartorially unremarkable weekend, for next weekend’s free candy comes with a price.

Hopefully a lot of the Palin costume wearin’ trick or treaters will go for that added extra dash of realism and accessorize their look with a Hitler mustache.
that vodka energy drink you kids love so much
Y’all are gonna kill yourself with that shit.
Breaking: In part 2 of the Brian Williams’ interview with McCain/Palin, McCain reveals that fake america are the parts that planes flown into their buildings. Yup: DC and NYC.
I’m livid. And this is officially over for him.
I saw Born Ruffians when they were in LA last week. They were pretty good, although I’m not sure how reliable my opinion is because I somehow managed to spend $120 at the bar. Also, I think they did play the Grizzly Bear song, maybe.
I love topical costumes! I am either going as Zombie Benazir Bhutto or Novak’s evil bicyclist-killing brain tumor, I haven’t decided.
[re=145035]The Real JR Revisted[/re]: I hope to G*d you’re kidding, but this being WALNUTS!/Mooselips, I know you’re not. Could somebody please drive a wooden stake into the McCain campaign and call it done?
But I just dropped $150,000 on my Palin costume…
for jazz people, this is a treat:

I’m dressin’ my five up like little wolf pups, fer sure!
Haha, I live abroad, so I might actually be the only Sarah Palin at the party I’m going to.
However only 30-55% of people will get it.
