The holiday season officially began over a week ago but that's not going to stop me from running another All Hallows Eve-related post. I forgot to link to this a few weeks back when it was still relevant. Is it worth a look? You decide. A pumpkin artist back east decided to make a political contest out of three rotting pumpkins, one carved like Kerry, another like Bush and a third like Nader. Who won? Have a look and prepare to be disappointed. The results are inconclusive.

A reader sent along these photos of pumpkins-on-fire taken in 2002. They're ten times more Halloween-y and easily outdo those I posted a few weeks back. Apparently, he kicked things up a notch by using gasoline. Another picture is labeled "last shot before the police showed up" but this one is my favorite.
