10 Things to Think About on a Friday

Happy Halloween! The holiday that I hate most because I'm not a creative costume person like some and I don't really enjoy dressing up all that much like others has arrived. But it's not all bad...I've managed to salvage a complete lack of ideas with two or three that I think will work for me, and it can't be all bad when I'm going to get to go to a huge party and dance my ass off all night. I think I can handle a costume for a few hours for that. At any rate, regardless of whether you're a ghost or a goblin, Obama or Palin, living or dead, I hope you have a fantastic fright night. Without further ado, here's a few things to think about on this night of lost souls.

1) Before witches were a cool Halloween costume, they were arrested, tried and burned, usually alive. Fun stuff! Well, at least in England, they're recognizing the error of their witch persecuting ways and pardoning people from hundreds of years ago accused of witchcraft. Huzzah!

2) Who would have thought that motorcycles are more dangerous to a Marine's health than Iraq? Not I.

3) With election day right around the corner, it's not surprising that McCain has increased his negativity. But who listens to preposterous Robo-calls past the first 5 seconds of realizing what it is?

4) Thankfully, polls show that Prop. 8 will fail. Unfortunately, it does appear that its margin of victory is slipping, and that means who knows what could happen on Tuesday. So if you love people and hate prejudice and wish to be involved in dealing a blow to the religious right who seek to control civil rights in our country with their religious doctrine, don't wait for the rest of California to do it, go out on Tuesday and VOTE NO ON PROP. 8.

5) Michael Jackson has decided not to join the Jackson 5 reunion. I'm just curious...after the pedophile charges, and following years without any significant input to the music world, what exactly does Michael Jackson have to do that is more important or lucrative?

6) While I've never considered any of my Halloween costumes that cool or original (I've recently been a priest and a Mormon), here are 5 that I'm glad I didn't consider.

7) iTunes, Rock Band and the Beatles song catalog...together at last?

8) Here's an interesting look at the comparison between what McCain and Palin have been touting as Obama's socialism, and a similar route that Palin herself has taken in governing Alaska.

9) For all you Spider-Man fans out there, good news...Spider-Man 4 AND 5 are getting ready to go...

10) While we all love Sookie Stackhouse (and I'd try some V if I could get my hands on it), on Halloween we also love vampires and hot women. How about the 6 hottest movie vampires?

That's it folks, be safe tonight!
