Paedos For Halloween: Five Way To Survive The Night Of Terror
HALLOWEEN. Dust off those platform heels, fright wigs and flashing “LEADER!” headlights.
“… looking for their next victim. Is your child next? Call the University of Michigan Law School at … and ask them why their graduates want your children to be raped.”
Althouse writes:
There’s a new court decision blocking a state law that “prohibits ‘all Halloween-related contact with children’ and allows sexual offenders to leave their homes from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. only if they have ‘just cause,’” and Happyshooter, a commenter at Volokh Conspiracy, spins out a spoof of the sort of attack ads that are aimed at the judges who must stand for re-election.
Of course, they should have “Paedo” writ on their doors in flour and water.

Ashley Todd Mirror’s Anne Tyler’s Slipping-Down Life
ASHLEY Todd, she of the Obama stigmata, rings a bell:
The minute I saw that photo of the young McCain volunteer who is supposed to have had a letter “B” carved in her face by a black assailant, I thought of Anne Tyler’s early novel “A Slipping-Down Life”. It’s about a teenage girl who’s so infatuated with the leader of a local rock band that she carves his name in her forehead; unfortunately, she forgets that using a mirror to do the deed creates certain basic complications.

Misogyny Or Racism: The World Awaits America’s Decision
SARAH Palin is a c***. Well, the T-shirt never lies. And Barack Obama is an Arab jihadi. Well, the placard never lies.

Jim Treacher has more on that ever-so-politically-enlightened t-shirt. Cuh-lassy.
