Get your degradation on this Halloween
When I was in the third grade I was Cinderella for Halloween. I had a long gown and a plastic tiara. This year I considered being Cinderella again (I had a big lack in creativity, OK?), but I would be hard-pressed to find a long gown anywhere these days. Suddenly Cinderella has fishnet stockings and out of control cleavage, something I fail to remember watching in the Disney version. Any perusing through a costume shop will convince you that for girls there is basically just one option: dress provocatively, or you may as well be a monstrous gargoyle and hide in a closet for the day. The best example of this appears in the movie “Mean Girls,” where Lindsay Lohan’s character shows up to Halloween dressed as a hideous dead bride with fake blood and a disgusting wig. Needless to say, no one high-fived her for a cool costume, and she definitely did not score points with the men.

A New kind of speech
"Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing our savior, Barack Obama!" “Thank you, thank you,” Obama says as he strolls out onto his $2 million victory stage. “Welcome to the Obama Election Night Party, brought to you by MasterCard. There are some things in life money can’t buy. An election isn’t one of them.” “You know, it is a great honor to be standing here tonight in my hometown of Chicago. Isn’t it great to have defeated George W. Bush and his failed policies?” A cheer rises from the press section. “I don’t think I could have done it without you,” he says, winking to his left at David Heller, managing director at Goldman Sachs. “We have a lot of hope and change to talk about, but before I get started, let me first thank some people. Thank you, Tony Rezko. I couldn’t have made it here without the $168,000 you raised for me early on. You were there before my other big donors. “Thank you to the banking industry. Especially you, Fannie Mae. In just four years in the Senate, you’ve already given me more money than you give most Congressmen in 20 years. “I’d like to thank some individual citizens now. Pro Doodad. Good Will. John Galt of 1957 Ayn Rand Lane. You are the backbone of my publicly financed campaign! “People like you, who donated without having your identities verified by the credit card companies, have together raised over $160 million in unreported small donations. Those small donations contributed to my more than $400 million total. “And now let me introduce the next president, er, vice president, Joe Biden... You know, you can clap for him.” “Hi, guys,” he says. “My speech is brought to you by foreign policy: it’s so easy, a caveman can do it. And we need to keep it that way, because let me tell you something: I guarantee there will be an international crisis now that Obama is elected.
