Hey, Everybody.

[Mr. Scorpio]

Today is All Hallow's Eve, Devil's Night is tonight and tomorrow is Halloween.

If you've been around DU for awhile, then you'd know that this is the time of year where I get a little active with my "Halloween is Coming" posts in The Lounge and my "Lee Atwater Award for Right Wing Evil" here in GD that I've done for the last 15 years.

I don't know if you've noticed, but I haven't done one so far and I'm not planning on doing them anymore. Now before you get overly concerned, it's not for anything serious going on with me... I'm cool.

I've decided not to do one because I'm tired and I'm feeling that the horrible turn that the country is going down right now is much too serious. Last year, I lost a family member around this time of year and my heart started to move away from the process.

This entire year, my heart has pretty much left it. Besides, I think that 15 straight years of nothing more than an elaborate poll is enough. No more awards for horrible wingnuts, shit's too serious now for these reprehensible traitors.

Right now, all I have to say is vote as if are lives are depending on it, because they are.

One last thing, if any of you are interested in doing a Halloween poll for evil nut jobs, not as if I'm ever expecting such a thing... Please, be my guest. Like I said, I'm tired with it.

Anyway, that being said, Happy Halloween and see y'alls at the polls.

2. You've been missed Mr Scorpio

I'm truly sorry to hear of your loss. I think there's a cloud of melancholy hanging over many of us this year, it like the bad shit and rw nutters just won't go away, like some zombie hoard. That feeling can only be compounded when you suffer a loss of a loved one.


Hope you know you're appreciated and your Halloween posts were eagerly anticipated. It made for special entertainment because one never new what might be lurking behind that days "Halloween is coming" post.


Take care of yourself!

3. The little ghouls come today for candy,

Grandson and I are waiting to make them cry, scare the bejeezus out of them. When they reach into the witch's bowl to get some candy she will raise her head and screech at them with her bulging eyes glowing.

One mother told me last year that her son told her he had to come back to show he wasn't afraid of the witch, but he was afraid.

If the witch doesn't make them pee then we have the remote control spider that comes out from under the witch's chair or the Big crow on the mailbox or the huge bat dangling from a tree limb, or the 15 foot tall ghost, and my grandson will blast you with the fog machine.

Come to my house you little pretties, we are waiting.

ps/ I had to take out a loan for the candy.

4. My dear, 15 years of enjoyment is plenty! Thank you for all of it.

Lost some family members last year this time too. In a storm, of all things.

Hang in there. Be well.

You will always be the spirit of Halloween for me.
