For the record, there will be no effigies hanging outside the McCloud household this Halloween. Not even one of bin Laden.
But if we
were tempted to
do such a thing there would be two of them--one with a likeness of Sarah Palin hanging directly next to another resembling Obama. It might be fun to watch the city police arrive with a court order demanding we unhang the Obama effigy then drive off as the Palin dummy twisted around in the fall breeze.
