There are plenty of things to be afraid of nowadays. Occupy Wall Street has turned into Occupy All Streets. The Democrats and Republicans can’t put their heads together without making a hollow coconut sound. And Charlie Sheen is still free to date our daughters! It’s hard to know what to dress up as for Halloween, since everyday life is already really creepy!
