Best blogpost of Hallowe'en 2010

Sorry, friends, but this time the prize has to go to our southern brethren at Down With Tyranny.

This is some scary shit.

Jon Stewart at the Rally for Sanity

(h/t Dammit Janet)

Man, it's just one extreme to the oth ...

(h/t Dr. Dawg)

Update: Let's add sexual assault to the mix, just in case it's not noxious enough. H/t Jymn, Cliff and Uzza.

Really. Who could have foreseen such a thing?
