Who Gets Your Sugar?
Decatur Metro | October 12, 2008Frequent commenter, altmod, recently mentioned that her son will be dressing up as a candy voting machine for Halloween this year. Candy givers will be asked to place their candy in either a McCain or Obama slot in his costume.
But that isn’t all! The whole effort has its own good lookin’ website with a very cute video from her son explaining all the details. According to the website, results will be posted on the site on Halloween night by 11pm. I have a feeling that’s gonna be own very lop-sided costume before the night is out!
I promise to have a follow up once all votes are tallied.

WHAT AN AWESOME IDEA!!! I love Moey’s costumes from the past years too. I hope he stops by my house for candy.
What a great way to alienate your neighbors!
As usual, the two-party monopoly completely excludes the Libertarian candidate!
I guess I will have to write in “Bob Barr” and tape it to this young man’s costume when he comes to my house.
He hasn’t left you out, Libertarian candy will be tallied and eaten on the spot!
I have to see Moey The Candy Voting Machine! That is just too cute and so awesome. I cannot vote since I’m a Brit but I’d love to voice my opinion via delicious candy. Will he make it down to the Oakhurst/College Heights area? If not, please share his route and I will bring the candy to him.
That’s hilarious. He’ll be leaning to the left, literally! haha
My neighbor, a hilarious fellow and a Republican, told me he is going to take half of the kids candy and give it to those who REALLY need it.
You mean Goldman Sachs?
No, AIG
Libertarian candy should just be thrown in the trash. That is what a vote for Bob Barr is…..a vote thrown into the trash can. I like many libertarian values but a vote for Barr in this important election is just silly, arrogant, and dismissive of reality. Vote for someone who could actually win. Don’t stick your head in the sand and hope it will all get better.
JohnD — you said, “a vote for Barr in this important election is just silly, arrogant, and dismissive of reality. Vote for someone who could actually win.”
How is voting for the candidate you want to win silly, exactly? And why are you so supportive and aligned with the two-party system? And why must I vote for someone who could actually win? Would you tell all those fans of the Detroit Lions not to cheer for their team because they know the Lions can’t win? Would you have told all the Civil Rights marchers in the 1950’s and 1960’s to spend their efforts on issues that can actually get through the Congress? Would you tell today’s gay couples to quit campaigning for gay marriage rights because they’re never going to win?
Amen Monsieur Crawdaddy, and this is coming from a staunch Obama supporter.
Too many people approach elections like lotteries. Winning is not the goal. Voting your conscience is. Let your Libertarian flag fly!
Would people who still have their yard signs up from the election please take them down? I don’t care if it’s a McCain sign, a Martin sign, a Stubbs sign or an Obama sign.
The election is over, in case you missed it. Your candidate either won or lost. It’s over.
People that keep them up are childish and immature. Please let it go.
ditto for War is not the answer signs…yawn….
I’m sorry. I’ve been out of the loop.
Is war the answer now?
LMAO!Nope war is still not the answer,but then neither are tired signs ( in the context of this thread only) Maybe new signs that say: “Wealth Redistribution is the answer”, tee hee
ummm…..it’s always been the answer.
And seriously, please come redistribute my wealth. I really have no idea what to do with it.
Should I give some of it to Lump? Lump, do you want my money?
Interesting study in rhetoric…Note that you can agree with both lump and “for the love”…
War has always been the answer, but its not the answer now. So I guess you guys can still agree. How sweet.
And where did the wealth redistribution taunt come from? How about a “Glib Sarcasm is Not the Answer”?
LOL
Money will work, as will sex.
Call me and we’ll set up an installment program.
I love this blog.
Just suggesting a new, cultural catchphrase for replacement signage, that’s all…feel free to be creative DM…its FUN!
How about a yard sign that sez: “Attention thieves: I don’t own a flat panel TV”?
Of course, that would be assuming the idiots can read…
OK Lump, you’re turn for signage suggestion. Let’s keep this party going all night long!
