I am attending a Halloween party this Friday night in New York City, which is where I live, and I have decided to go as a Republican. The reason for this is twofold:
- Halloween is all about the scary for me, and nothing on this planet frightens me more than Republicans
and
- I don't have money for a costume (thanks, Repulbicans for eight years of failed economic policies!) So I figure I will throw on a suit and pick up a few cheap accessories to make the outfit. (Plus I am not big on flamboyant costumes to begin with).
Join me below the fold for a few of my ideas and please help me out in the comments with other suggestions...
Here are things I thought I could put on my suit to transform me from the bleeding-heart left-wing redistributortarian that I am into a right-wing neocon Wall Street capitalist pig:
- A McCain-Palin button. It being Halloween and it being New York I think almost everyone will get it, especially my friends who will be in attendance because I have pretty much been a noun, a verb and Obama for the last 10 months. The only obstacle would be, I don't have the slightest idea where I could even find one here in Manhattan.
- A toy gun, which I would cling to througout the evening. Hopefully it will be a rifle with a shoulder strap or a pistol that fits in a holster, because I would rather cling to a drink of some kind with one hand, and in my other hand would be...
- A bible (again for the clinging). I'm not sure about the logistics on that one, that may offend some, especially if I wind up spilling beer on it.
Actually I will be bringing my camera so I will have to forget the Bible (I'm certainly not dropping the drink).
Any other suggestions?
