Halloween Open Thread [10.31.11]

Filed in National by on October 31, 2011

Happy Halloween!

What would Halloween be without a tribute to COD, inspired by the Wizard of Oz:

And David Axelrod goes there: GOP may be trying to destroy economy on purpose:

They don’t want to cooperate. They don’t want to help. Even on measures to help the economy that they traditionally have supported before, like a payroll tax cut, like infrastructure, rebuilding our roads and bridges and surface transport. These — so you have to ask a question, are they willing to tear down the economy in order to tear down the president or are they going to cooperate?

More like this please! Because not only is it true, but lots of voters think so too.
