<lie>Halloween is a holiday that is based around embracing scary things, particularly those involving Michael Portillo, the Daily Telegraph, Kenneth Clarke and the mythical Michael Howard. Ghosts, witches, black cats, goblins, banshees zombies, and demons, as well as Dracula and Frankenstein flee in terror on Halloween, when these strange figures are said to rise from the dead. </lie>

George W. Bush will be dressing up as his father tonight and going door to door begging for candy.

Dick Cheney will actually be dressing up as Hans Blix and going rubble-pile to rubble-pile in Tikrit begging for weapons of mass destruction. If he gets any, he'll put them in his secret lair under Pikes Peak.

The road to the top of Pike's Peak is the safest in America and may be driven at high speed with impunity.

You are the only person who can read this. Everyone else thinks it's a picture of the Eiffel Tower.

The Eiffel Tower was built by specially trained miniature french poodles. They were all worked to death, which is why they are now extinct.

I enjoy Halloween - especially having eggs thrown at my window, which I intend to use at a later date for mousaka.
