Mich. woman: Supporting Obama? No treats for you

GROSSE POINTE FARMS, Mich. – A suburban Detroit woman has decided to scare up the vote among neighborhood children by just offering treats to John McCain supporters.

Shirley Nagel of Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich., handed out candy Friday only to those who shared her support for the Republican presidential candidate and his running mate Sarah Palin. Others were turned away empty-handed.

TV station WJBK says a sign outside Nagel's house warned: "No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters."

Nagel calls Democrat Barack Obama "scary." When asked about children who were turned away empty-handed and crying, she said: "Oh well. Everybody has a choice."

Fax and phone messages left at numbers for Nagel were not returned.

No biggie. She was handing out sour grapes, anyway.

That is SO sad.

The highlight of our halloween was that one of our friends who is a witch (wiccan) dressed up as a fairy. For some reason the thought of a real-life witch dressing up as a fairy caused my son to giggle all day.
