Today has been kind of a crazy day---and I expect it will be that way all the way until the election---so I thought I'd toss out a more fun post for those two things that go together like peanut butter and chocolate, or lube and condoms: Halloween in election years and political costumes.

In 2008, I did what all brunettes with bangs pretty much had to do, and went as Sarah Palin. It was so much fun we ended up doing a comedy short video that exploited my costume and a friend's GI Joe-inspired costume.
