Still no War on Halloween stories?

This is hope and change, isn't it?

By October 30, I've usually found at least a handful of news items about the right-wing War on Halloween. This war usually takes the form of dominionists getting Halloween celebrations banished from a public school or forcing a city to cancel trick-or-treating if it falls on a Sunday. Or it involves the "zero tolerance" Nazis who run our schools banning pirate costumes that feature a fake sword.

This year, I haven't found any new stories like this. The War on Halloween seems to be stalled at the level it was at a year ago. This is probably the longest we've waited for new War on Halloween items since my youth when I donned a disguise each Halloween and went door to door for stale Zagnut bars and morsels of Super Bubble that probably came from a Cocoa Puffs box.

Still, we need to reverse the War on Halloween.

A stake needs to be driven through the heart of this war so it never comes back to haunt us and our children.

In the meantime, I bet I know what the recent Tea Party participants' favorite Halloween costume is. Probably a ghost - because they already have the white sheets!
