This post is already too late. Back in the old days, I worked as part of the editorial team that ran the MSN.com homepage. I learned a lot about what and when people want to read about all sorts of stuff — including holidays like Halloween. Turns out, people start heavy planning for their Halloween costumes in August. So, sorry if this ruins your plans…
But everybody on Capitol Hill is planning to be Sarah Palin.
You either need to find a new costume or decide that it will be warped and funny to have an army of Palins wandering from party to party on the Hill. We’re probably going to join the herd as a Sarah and Todd pair (yeah, we do the couples thing for Halloween — Kurt and Courtney, Jack and Meg, etc.). Here’s your chance to coordinate with the rest of the Hill. What are you going as? Looking for ideas? How about our 2006 or 2007 edition CHS Halloween masks (inspired by C-3PO cereal, no less)?
Not that awful republican
I’m not so creative when it comes to costumes: how do I dress as a worthless 401k?
A sidebar article in today’s Seattle Times noted (data from 1980 onwards) that the best selling presidential candidate Halloween mask correctly predicted the winner in the November election. (This year: Obama 67% McCain 33%).
So don’t go spooking the results with those Palin masks.
(and yes, a Nixon mask surely throws off all such theories)
We’re all tired of the monk and pregnant nun combo.
How about Levi and Bristol?
Just go naked in a barrel like you do every Friday night.
I’m surprised you didn’t offer a bike lock sash cut-out for all of those Critical Mass costumes.
Yeah, I’m gonna be Sarah Palin for Halloween, I confess.
But I bought my 9 month old son a navy blue suit so he can be my John McCain.
Beat that!
