Homemade Terror
 Posted by Picasa

Halloween Fear Mongering

After seeing the above on a website and in keeping with pre-midterm election advertising, I set out to find a terrorist costume. With the exception of Osama Bin Laden I'm out of luck. There are some leftover Saddam Hussein masks but he doesn't really count anymore. There's no Mohammed Atta, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Ayatollahs, nor Kim Jong Ils; no Miss Underestimateds nor Timothy McVeighs; and definitely no suicide bombers (although I did find instructions for a homemade one). There's Nixon, Dubya, Clinton(s), Cheney, et al but Spreadshirt has a nice tee for the ultimate political terror costume. I've also included a link for arguably the worst costume of 2006, sort of a Freudian terror number. And I'll leave you to find out if last year's Chicago's Pumpkin-Go-Round still exists.
