"I can shoot Russia from my house."

To mark this year’s season of the haunt, we are pleased as spiked punch to bring out another Ticket Giveaway. This one’s an “essay contest.” (By essay, we mean 1-10 sentences.)

Question: Tell us what is the scariest thing, to you, about Vice Presidential hopeful, Sarah Palin? (Could it be this? Or, perhaps, this?)

And if we like your answer the best, not only will we publish it on here, but we will also give you two tickets to this year’s Ghouls Night Out, brought to you by Equality Texas. It’s a Halloween-night party with over 200 women, a costume contest, cocktails, beer, wine, and food. Not to mention the dancing! Move it to none other than DJ Cheryl Coward! This will be a night to remember.

(For tickets to above party, sans Palin-bashing, go here!)
