Tuesday is both Día de Los Muertos and Election Day...not looking good. I may have to set up a shrine for Russ Feingold. With the bumper crop of wacko right-wing candidates poised to win big, the outlook is gloomy. Here in Mexico though, I think Nov 2nd will be a happier day. Shelves are lined with statuettes of Michael Jackson as a skeleton, florists are hawking bouquets of cempasúchil, and bakeries are selling rich buttery loaves of pan de muerto.
The cost of Michael Jackson skeletons is "too damn high." I think I'll start my own campaign.
