23. Note there are many names for halloween. Without any claims of coarse.
Edited on Tue Aug-31-10 03:41 PM by RandomThoughts
The only thing is it should not be to tease Glenn, since he does the best he can, but to be just to have a good time :)

Could even add that it is inspired by Glenn, that would be nice to him :)


Although imitation is flattery, so the skits would be funny :)



Doubt it would be politically smart, but would be fun :) Politically it lets someone set your direction, with a no win to it, since if you get a crowd you have some fun and share attention.

If anything went wrong, you share attention and Glenn would gloat with spin,

The political reality of such a thing is that it would be spending time on something not needed to be spent on.

But for fun, not politics it could be a good time.
