[LiberalElite]

4. Since it's more than a month till

Halloween, I suspect the really scary stuff will be in the coming weeks.....

[Demeter]

6. Like the government shutdown and the debt ceiling intransigence and the Sequester

all kinds of little ticking time bombs in DC for the economy.

[gregcrawford]

17. Conservatives are congenitally incapable of governing...

... because it requires complex reasoning; not an attribute common in the hive mentality of the conservative clowns in Congress. These people deride anything they haven't the capacity to comprehend, and bully anyone with the temerity to disagree with them; witness Chaffetz's attacks on Cecelia Richards yesterday.

[Demeter]

18. GOP wanna be FREE

Free to starve in the snow (as long as it's somebody else) ... free to pick your pockets and deprive you of everything that makes life worth living ... you know, really FREE!

Like they say in NH: Live Free or Die!

Lot of people dying, in NH.

[gregcrawford]

19. New Hampshire is right across the Connecticut River from us

It's roughly the same size and has slightly more than twice the population, and a suicide rate above the national average. NH also has more than its share of Right-wing whackjobs.

16. We'll be whistling past the graveyard until then!n/t

9. The Joker. His go-to is chaos. n/t

[dae]

11. Yes but IT preys on fear and weakness,

drawing them to the "lights".

[gregcrawford]

21. I think Pennywise just dropped out. Or was that Bozo?

[Dont call me Shirley]

8. So real it's scary, Greg!

[kairos12]

10. That cartoon would scare Stephen King.

[n2doc]

12. Scary but accurate

Although we need a truly stupid clown type to fill out the possibilities. I guess Bozo is that one. We have evil, crazy and scary covered.
