Hallowe'en 2007 Graphic #1
Continuing my tradition from Hallowe'en 2006, in which season of festivities I created and published Hallowe'en Politics Graphic #1, Halloween Politics Graphic #2, and Hallowe'en Politics Graphic #3, this small animated graphic launches the current round of fun-filled horror.Pleasant dreams, readers.
The Dark Wraith will deliver further troubling images in the days to come, so be forewarned: it's not just your imagination; there really are things that go "BUMP!" in the twilight of Empire.

Good evening, PoliShifter.
Feel free to repost this graphic (with attribute, of course) as the image tag

The Dark Wraith so enjoys Hallowe'en time.
Wrote PoliShifter:
It is a nice time indeed. A certain nip in the air, the smell of buring fire places, and ofcourse decorating the house.
When I do ye'ole regular updates in the morn' I will find a visible place for it.
Halloween is my favorite holiday. Seeing so many Christians enjoy celebrating it as well still makes me chuckle.
Wrote oldwhitelady:
Good morning, Dark Wraith.
Well, after seeing your really cool scary graphic, I can't sleep! I too scared! Good job, buddy! I need my sleep. I guess I know not to come over here for a nice calm sleep inducing post. Oh, I guess I already knew that. As Bill the Cat says, "Pffft!"
Wrote zipperhead:
Dr. W,
I guess the long hair and peace sign tatooed on the bare buttocks would have been just a little too scary, huh?
Wrote blackdog:
Blackdog slept under the couch last night with teeth bared to make night spook critters stay away. And one still peeded on my left rear tire anyway, these spooks have no respect at all.
Maybe a really spooky halloween display would be of a public bathroom stall with illuminated hands erupting out of the ground around the partitions.
I think I just scared myself.
Wrote blackdog:
What is a peeded anyway?? Must be related to the normal bd response to such an infraction. Mask and cover!
If enough pee is judiciously applied, maybe I'll find the very slow leak in that tire. Follow the bubbles, that's it!
Wrote blackdog:
And if you really track the bubbles well, you will come up on a true republicant base idea, dead already and making more of a bother out of itself than reality requires.
I fully expect to find the 'curve of Laffer' to be at the root of the spook peeing on my tire, as with any inflated item losing air, it trends downward toward the right and makes a noise better appreciated by the raunch crowd.
Blackdog sweares he didn't do it.

Fie and away with that pig swiver, Wraith!
By My Trowth, he doth make an honest skull take on the most bloody phantasm, the very likeness of the devil that's propping up the ale-soused apple john who lives in our white house on the hill.
The dark lord Darth Cheney's vile pox-blossom'd countenance whithers grape on the vine, and sours good wine in it's barrels.
Wrote PoliShifter:
Dear Mr. Wraith,
"with attribute..."
I linked the animation to this post, is this good enough for you? Or would you like a Dark Wraith Forums above or below it?
Let me know and I will change it accordingly.
I may have to move it anyway if Adsense says it violates their TOS so we'll see.
I would like it to be in a prominent place through Halloween but if Adsenses says no, I'll move it further down the page.
Wrote Peter of Lone Tree:
Do you have a bean counter which records "hits" on individual posts you've written? If so, I'd be interested in knowing how many you get, if any, from your "U.S.S.Liberty" posting of a while back. John A. recently posted a "good for them" post on his site in regards to the recent Israeli attack on a Syrian nuke site. The tenor of the article provoked quite a response from his readership, and somewhere along the way someone threw in a "Liberty" comment, provoking "they meant to do it" and "it was an accident" comments. So, recalling your post, I posted a link to it. I forbore writing what I wanted to say in accompaniment, which was along the lines of "All of you shut the fuck up until you read this". Instead, I followed my usual directive of maintaining gentlemanly decorum in recommending the article.
Wrote PoliShifter:
Hi Peter of Lone Tree
I am curious about which site is John A.'s and what the devil you are talking about. Would you consider posting a link to the article in question?
I know you post over at Blondesense but didn't see anything over there and your name here isn't linking to you site.

Americablog. The link to the post is Intelligence analysts confirm that Israel attacked Syrian nuke plant.
And the Wraith's essay is entitled Special Analysis: The Sacrifice of Pawns.
Wrote PoliShifter:
Thanks Peter of Lone Tree
I am a little bit more up to speed now.
Interesting how Cheney's grand plan is to get Israel to attack Iran's nuclear power sites. I guess since it worked in 1981 attacking Iraq's nuclear site, we'll just keep doing it again and again as needed. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
Somehow I missed the news of Israel attacking Syria. Isn't that grounds for a war declaration?
As far as the USS Liberty is concerned, someone just mentioned that the other day...I want to say it was Jimmy Carter but I think I might be mistaken.
Anyway
The High Cost of U.S. Subservience to Israel
#
Congress, like the rest of America, is totally devoid of debate on the amazing role of this small nation in critical U.S. policy. Members are fulsome in public praise of the Jewish state, but no politician mentions Israel’s illegal behavior or the staggering burden it imposes on our country.
How did Israel gain this influence?
It all started 40 years ago. On June 8, 1967, the U.S. commander-in-chief, President Lyndon B. Johnson, turned his back on the crew of a U.S. navy ship, the USS Liberty, despite the fact that the ship was under deadly assault by Israel’s air and sea forces. The Israelis were engaged in an ugly scheme to lure America into their war against Arab states. They tried to destroy the Liberty and its entire crew, then pin the blame on the Arabs. This, they reasoned, would outrage the American people and immediately lead the United States to join Israel’s battle against Arabs.
The scheme almost worked. It failed only because, despite the carefully planned multi-pronged assault, the Liberty crew managed to broadcast an SOS over a makeshift antenna. When the appeal reached U.S. aircraft carriers nearby, the commanders immediately launched fighter planes to defend the ship. Informed of the launch, President Johnson ordered the rescue planes to turn back immediately.

And ofcourse, the Dark Wraith's:
Special Analysis: The Sacrifice of Pawns
And since we're at it, why not the NYT again
Analysts Find Israel Struck a Nuclear Project Inside Syria
I don't know what this all has to do with Halloween except that it is some scarey stuff to ponder.
Wrote Dark Wraith:
Good evening, Peter.
Although large in hit count, with a very long tail that continues to this very day, it wasn't the standard, recorded hits that were of note; it was the shadows: more than almost any other posts.
That, and the e-mail messages.
The Dark Wraith figures they were just having some fun on a slow day in Hell.
Wrote Minstrel Boy:
good morning dark wraith:
one thing i've noticed with some alarm, although not that much because i am decidedly small potatoes, is that when i write something that is intensly critical of the administration especially on things like the run-up to an invasion or attack on iran, i tend to get hits from fort george meade for the next week or so. they are quick ones, after that first where they spend some time. thing is, i know that fort george meade houses not only the headquarters of the NSA, but a pretty off the books detention facility which has been used for mob informants who need to be secretly imprisoned and other prisoners who need to be disappeared.
see you all at gtmo.
Wrote Minstrel Boy:
p.s. dibs on bottom bunk.
Wrote Dark Wraith:
Good afternoon, Minstrel Boy.
You can have the bottom bunk; I can't sleep when someone's blood is dripping down on me from above.
The Dark Wraith has a hard enough time sleeping in an unheated cell as it is.
Wrote trog69:
Well, I sure as hell ain't gonna get my fatass up to that top bunk so move over, MB.
Spoonin' ain't gay when it's a twin bed!
Wrote Dark Wraith:
Just great. All-night snoring and wind-breaking in stereo.
Wrote trog69:
Now that's just naaasssty.
I wonder if he'll do a song about it? The Dutch Oven Blues.
Wrote Cloud:
You silly geese. Letting prisoners cohabit is so passé.
Halliburton builds separate 'rooms' for each prisoner, then they can charge more on the invoice, no?
Wrote trog69:
Obviously, you are not 'Halliburton material'. They may bill for separate rooms, but that doesn't mean they'll use them all for that purpose! 20 prisoners in 2 rooms=18 rooms rented out to the interrogators at $150.00 a night. C'mon, start thinkin' like a true patriot, okie-dokie?
Wrote Dark Wraith:
I need to see if the government would be interested in contracting with Dark Wraith Publishing for Online Detention Centers.
Good Heavens, the Dark Wraith could make a fortune.
Wrote trog69:
Hey, more power to you, brotha. Just don't raise the rent on my little place upstairs. Yessir, I realize that it doesn't matter how much you raise the rent, since I haven't paid you anything yet. I quit throwin' up in the hallway, didn't I? And what about all the Cheese Spam I gived ya; That stuff ain't cheap ya know!
