Make America Scared Again

With Election Day right around the corner from Halloween, it is festively fitting for people around the nation to dress up as the next potential president on the scariest day of the year. Since 1996, Spirit Halloween has accurately predicted who would win the presidency based on sales of presidential candidate masks. 

A latex mask of US President Donald Trump is one of the favorites in the run-up to Halloween celebration this year; even in Mexico. What are the others?  Who will win? You decide...

'Trumpacabra'             'Mamala'

'Creepy Joe'

 'Barackula'    'Hillareficent'

 

Print and cut out your favorite.  Attach to a popsicle stick or tie string to wear. 

 Happy Halloween!

Hiroshima

Why is the book Hiroshima still so important today?

Why was it so controversial then?

Read the book for yourself...

The Charge of the Light Brigade

 

Half a league, half a league,

Half a league onward,

All in the valley of Death

   Rode the six hundred.

“Forward, the Light Brigade!

Charge for the guns!” he said.

Into the valley of Death

   Rode the six hundred.

-BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON 

In 1854, London Times reporter William Howard Russel reports on the charge of the British Light Cavalry Brigade in Crimea. He writes of soldiers ill-fed, ill-led, and left on the field to die. Prince Albert is furious. Russell's reporting turns the public against the government, prompting history's first order of military censorship. Henceforth any reporter who reports information that could be useful to the enemy will be expelled. Russell is hailed as the 'father of war reporting.'
