A Halloween display at a home in Brooklyn has been taken down after some called it a symbol of racism. A scarecrow painted to have dark skin was hanging by a rope from a tree in front of a home in Kensington. Some neighbors say the homeowner gets in the spirit of Halloween every year and believe he meant no harm by the display. But one councilman argued it was reminiscent of a lynching. Its unacceptable, said Charles Barron (D-Brooklyn). You aint speaking for this whole community because some people on this block came by and said it was offensive....

| Finally! Dark Night of the Scarecrow DVD! Now here's some truly great news. Deadpit.com's "Creepy Kentuckian" is reporting that the classic (and largely unseen by today's audiences) 1981 made-for-TV fright flick Dark Night of the Scarecrow is at long last getting the DVD and Blu-Ray treatment. About damn time! Dark Night of the Scarecrow is a genuinely creepy horror movie about a mentally handicapped young man (Larry Drake, Dr. Giggles) wrongfully accused of assaulting a young girl in a rural farm community who is then hunted down by a lynch mob led by legendary character actor Charles Durning.

| CHEESY crooner Barry Manilow was unveiled yesterday as a weapon in the fight against teen mobs. Council chiefs say shops should pump out uncool songs such as Barrys Mandy to scare kids away. The Local Government Association found this was a big hit in Australia and drew up a hit-list of bad-taste tunes. The move came as Childrens Commissioner Sir Al Aynsley-Green called to ban the Mosquito device, which emits a high-pitched sound that only under-25s can hear. THE NAFF TOP FIVE: 1. Mandy Barry Manilow; 2. Please Release Me Engelbert Humperdinck |

| Hillary wasn't done giving us her mad moments in her Aspen Ideas Festival speech (and don't think Mad wouldn't have a field day with the concept of an Ideas Festival, either). Later in her remarks, she delivered this eye-popping economic analysis for the Colorado audience: "Ours will be the last generation to rely so exclusively on fossil fuels." She added that the "ups and downs of the global oil market cost the U.S. economy $7 trillion last year . . . almost enough to pay off our entire national debt." Seven trillion dollars? That would surprise most... |

| Welcome to the ongoing vanity saga of my new backyard Koi Pond. A while back, I created a frantic post after discovering that Great Blue Herons were eating my Koi, so I asked FReepers for advice. Later, after installing a "Scarecrow", an infra-red, motion detecting, water sprinkler, I created a second post describing my success in using this device to ward off the Herons and preserve my expensive fish. During that thread, some folks requested that I post some pictures of my newest pond. So, after picking up a very cheap digital camera on Ebay, I started taking pictures. I... |

| <p>As the Democratic presidential contenders turn their gaze towards New Hampshire, all kinds of theories are being used to explain John Kerry's stunning upset in Iowa.</p> <p>One is that his latest campaign ad, which drummed home his exploits as a war hero, was what won over the voters. Another is that by the time he got to Iowa he'd gotten better on the stump. Still another is that his organization was a lot better than people realized. And, of course, many believe that Howard Dean simply imploded there.</p> |
