Happy Halloween! Here's a post for all you effigy lovers.

Earlier this week, an effigy of Sarah Palin was found hanging from a roof in West Hollywood. I found this quite amusing because, as most of you are aware, I detest Sarah Palin and all she stands for. However, this is besides the point. The true story comes from our own "neck of the woods" (as Al Roker always says). An effigy of Barack Obama was found on the UK campus by a professor who was riding a bicycle (it's okay to laugh). I first found out about the effigy from one of my Democratic Facebook homies who works at UK. It turns out, this was the SECOND effigy of the presidential candidate found on the campus. Meanwhile, nearby UK, the students of Transylvania were busy having a peace rally (not really, just wanted to stress the difference between UK and Transy and how obviously Transy is more appealing to me). Back to the matter at hand, effigies are stupid. Why would you waste money on making a likeness of someone? That is SO 500 years ago. Effigies are meant for skimmity-rides, not for presidential elections. We are in a new age of technology baby. We use blogs to degrade Sarah Palin and all she stands for. Get with the times for goodness sakes!!!!

I agree that effigies are stupid. Also it's weird cause I was thinking of skimmity-rides while I was reading!! Sarah Palin may be dumb but she still can't go down like Lucetta, haha.
