Halloween: Smiling kids, no politicians ... yea!

Clearly, this is not an election year.

Not a single Richard Nixon, George Bush or John Kerry showed up at the front door tonight, demanding sugar. (Thinking back, 2004 was especially scary. Not Halloween so much, but the actual election.)

No, this year's trick-or-treaters were dominated by princesses and GIs in camouflage. Oh, sure, a vampire or two, and a skeleton, and a lot of pre-teens with Madonna-like microphones, which a dad had to explain represents "High School Musical," a movie we've been fortunate enough to avoid so far.

For three hours, our doorbell was rung strictly by adorable kids with big smiles who, we predict, should visit the dentist soon.
