halloween decor? really?

in case you didn't hear, two yahoos out in west hollywood, ca, put up an effigy of sarah palin. they say it is a halloween decoration. they have taken a manikin, dressed it up in a red business dress, put a wig on it & a pair of glasses. called it sarah palin, and hung it in effigy. that's right - they hung it. tied a rope around its neck & strung it up from the eaves outside the house. let us pause for a moment to consider that this is a vice presidential candidate & the governor of a state - who therefore by default deserves a modicum of respect. [pause to think] let us pause for a moment to consider what the outcry would have been had this been an effigy of barack obama. [pause to think] now that you have paused & thought... what do you think?
