Last week -- in the role of Elvira the Witch -- I hosted a spooky-fun Halloween party for my grandchildren. A few days later I saw in the newspaper that Condoleezza Rice was at a Halloween party, too, at which a really scary witch was flailing her bloody hands in Condi's face and screeching. Oh, wait.

Just what I needed, the thought of some old wrinkled prune letting it all hang out - where is my barf bag....
Didn’t realize she’d defaced the wall, too. Maybe that will upset some one enough to throw their cans to the the curb.
“Desiree Anita Ali-Fairooz”. . . Ok, I can only wonder if a Little Miss Hitler or Tojo could have run amuck in a government building in 1943???
