1. Pumpkins cost more this season, a fact I blame on the Republican party. But, good news, they, like fair-weather Democrats, are plentiful this season. Go jack-o-lanterns!
2. Seems everyone wants to be Sarah Palin for Halloween, but the costumes are so hot, party stores are sold out of them. I blame thieving Democrats. Go McCain masks!
3. Finally, the scariest story you will find anywhere: J.J. Barea will open the season as the Mavericks’ backup point guard. The horror! Go “Angry Zac Crain” masks!
