Godzilla vs. The Condoleezzard (Mickey Z.)
(Celebrating Halloween in the United States of Anxiety)

Mickey Z. -- World News Trust

become, is to shock, startle, frighten, petrify, horrify, and/or Oct. 22, 2006 -- Halloween is an odd holiday. The ostensible concept, as it has evolved to terrify... all while consuming enough high fructose corn syrup to keep the American Dental Association content for another century or two.

Every year, as Oct. 31 nears, loyal Americans eagerly squander a small fortune to adorn their humble abodes with Made-in-China images of tombstones, skulls, ghouls, goblins, monsters, zombies, and even the occasional bloody severed limb or two. While none of these cardboard depictions scare me as much as, say, the upcoming fifth installment of Stallone's "Rocky" series, I do believe there are plenty of real-life creatures that might warrant their own Halloween mask this year... and I'm not just talking about celluloid slashers.

Ghosts, to me, are not a bigger or more urgent concern than irreparable environmental damage, and I certainly lose less sleep over the dead rising from their graves to eat me than I do a planet populated with oppressed and starving humans.

Forget Freddie of Elm St., I give you Henry the Horrible (Kissinger, that is): "Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy towards the Third World, because the U.S. economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries."
