Tomorrow, the cloud will have passed.

Today, on the eve of the Catholic Holy Day, All Saints Day, the goblins, ghouls, witches and bioethickists will dance and prance. They will steal candy from little kids, TP the neighbors' houses and kill all the innocents they can. We just know the goblins Felos, Greer, Mikey, and the rest of the coven will be out in force.

I know you all have the coveted pics saved somewhere of Mikey and Felos eyeless and soul-less. Alas, I can only find one pic of Dethnell and don't have the library of fine pics you all have, and my only contribution to the Ghoul Gallery of Halloween is swiped from an offended websource. If I post that, I will get the dreaded theft notice appearing in its stead.

Wagglebee's pic of Stalin is the best for Mikey I have seen, but can we imagine Stalin wearing a Mikey mask on Halloween? That would really have scared the Bolshevics.

Polls and voter guides are appearing in these latter days. And, the Terri Factor appears often. Here is something on that topic:

Why was Strayhorn's poll so different?

The other three polls worked on the historically accurate assumption the Republican base vote is about 43 percent. The Strayhorn poll says that 43 percent is too high; that five percent of Republicans are fed up and will vote independent. She thinks this year the base vote will be down to 38 percent.

She may be right. With a backdrop of Iraq to Terry Schiavo, national polling suggests that conservative Republicans are holding fast but moderates seem to be looking for a change.

Plethora of polls leading up to election day

Deathknell is very shy of cameras, evidently. I can recall only one or two photos of her, and haven't found any yet, in a quick search just now. Did find this. Stand by for flame and beware of very bad language (which, under the circumstances, I think God will forgive).

"Now You Know" -- a Terri-friendly blog site gets exceptionally expressive in her last days...
