Faux News now saying Halloween costume spending to increase from '04

[Bullshot]

This morning, Faux radio news reported that spending for Halloween is expected to be up 5% from last year.

This is reminiscent of an earlier report from Faux saying that Christmas spending will be up from last year.

Again, I'll say it: with gasoline over $3/gallon and home heating costs projected to be at record highs, where in the hell are people finding the money to increase spending on non-essential holiday spending?

Faux is, in my opinion, once again serving as a propaganda tool for the White House.

1. It's true, and most of the clowns are working for Fox...N/T

[flamingyouth]

2. Surely the costume prices have gone up.

Many things have increased in price due to high fuel costs.

7. remember when your mother made your costume?

Sorry ...I'm old!

[flamingyouth]

10. Oh, mine always did too

I don't remember ever having a store-bought one. Of course, I was a witch for about 10 straight years and that's a pretty easy homemade costume. :D

[jedr]

11. that's cool...great memories.

:7

3. They're wrong. It's senior citizens buying up all the Halloween masks....

...to wear while robbing banks.

4. Who gives a Faux?

[Field Of Dreams]

5. Get your Mike Brown costumes...

or just walk around with your head up your ass for the cheap version.

Or if you miss the party ... just say you were a truck driver for FEMA and they kept you driving around in a circle.

6. The really big sellers

are the ones with brains attached that the Current Administration is trying to stockpile for crony appointees.

8. You mean there are people

in charge of keeping Halloween costume spending records? Gee.

9. Guess I'll just have to dress up as the Patriot Act again

It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more
Everybody's comin
Leave your body at the door

[localroger]

12. Yeah, lots of Hallowe'en activity here

Of course, we won't need ghosts or even costumes, what with all the actual dead bodies that will probably still be rotting in attics a month from now. Gives trick-or-treating a whole new dimension. Also, lots of opportunities to hide behind the piles of debris that still line most residential streets and jump out in my Nixon mask to scare the crap out of the little candy mongers! Yeah.

13. Of course!! It's because the economy is BOOMING!

It's through the roof!!
This is the best economy since Ronald Reagan!

I'm well versed with Fox "News".
They're just reaching further now.

14. Do they list a source for their information?

[indie_voter]

15. Who knows? My obnoxious neighbors just bought a new SUV. :p (nt)

[tabasco]

16. As usual, Faux going after the big news stories ...

and ignoring the 17 US troops killed this week.

17. dubya's costume

George is going tie a potato to his crotch. He wants to be a dick tater.:sarcasm:
