Trick or Treat Tuesday

Yes, Halloween has come and gone. No, this post isn't a week late.

I'm figuring we knew pretty much how last Tuesday would turn out: kids in (mostly) cliched and cartoonish costumes apprehensively standing there, expectantly, rushing through the ritual of grabbing the candy glut, with parents waiting in the wings to ward off child molesting neighbors and other evil spirits.

But THIS Tuesday, THIS Tuesday is election day.

Now that's trick or treat for adults, whether you are politically minded or not. Yep, there are rumors that some of these races are about either, (1) Good and Evil, or (2), for those vote-cynics out there, the Lesser of Two Evils.

At least we've got some choices, and one is always better than the other. Yes, it does make a difference. OK, so Barack Obama isn't running this round, but hey, there are still some "better than the other schmoe" choices out there, so go make some!

So what's it going to be? What are we in for?

Trick?

Or Treat?

Happy Election Day!
