Biden agreed to be a pumpkin head if we lose the election.

Joe take the pumpkin off your head....it's my turn to wear it.

Joe, it could have been worse. Jalen Rose vowed to shave his head, eyebrows, and goatee if the Bears beat the Lions.

Gotta love these secret service guys!

I see you're out harvesting votes again.

October Surprise, meet my new Vice President... Al Gourd.

LW, good caption. I like the pun.
Pro Life Crusader + October 24, 2012 at 07:32 pm
Forget it Joe and don't try hiding your face now, it is all over the news today that we and the State Department had memos and Intel that Benghazi was going to be attacked! We hid the truth long as we can!
Linda Moore October 24, 2012 at 07:55 pm
Gees, Joe, I guess Paul Ryan found a way to wipe that stupid smile off your face!

"Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere. He's gotta pick this one. He's got to. I don't see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one. You can look around and there's not a sign of hypocrisy. Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see..."

I may not be able to hang with Mitt during a debate but I think I can take you!

Can't understand how I'm going to cut taxes and decrease the deficit? It's as plain as the nose on my face.
Rick Anderson October 24, 2012 at 09:10 pm
No kidding. We know who Chuck is voting for. He must be too lazy to begin perfecting his Romney cartoon figure.
Jeff October 24, 2012 at 10:01 pm
Is that you Mrs. Preckwinkle?
Judy October 24, 2012 at 11:20 pm
Hey Guv, I know you already scared the public but let's not overdo it by becoming incognito, as a pumpkin head. Now you're scaring the kids too.
Mysterious Stranger October 25, 2012 at 12:58 am
Now THAT'S a quality pun!

Noooooo, I do not have my passport with me Mr. Trumpkin
Mark LaSanska October 25, 2012 at 04:54 pm
I'm not sure that's you under that pumpkin head Mr. Romney. I'm sure I just saw you in China bringing more of our American jobs there.
Rick Anderson October 25, 2012 at 08:31 pm
My state department scapegoat will now make it known what happened in Benghazi Libya.

I am just wondering how long this suspense filled soap opera will continue? Bottom line: HurtadoRead More knew his buddy needed a job...so; he and his majority board members made a mockery of local government due process and gave Mr. Peck a job, even though Hurtado voted with the past board to unanimously select an Exec…who is still under a contract. And then decided there was a need to pay a board secretary (who jumped out of the frying pan…smart move) and then appointed someone without pay. And of course there is a need to have a paid political hack to help publicly spin the board’s craziness via press releases.
AlaskaDreaming June 17, 2013 at 12:22 pm
I hate to ask the obvious of Mr. Peck (not that I expect him to answer anyway), but why is thisRead More announcement coming from the Executive Director rather than our newly appointed Director of Communications?
Bad News Bears June 18, 2013 at 02:53 pm
Mr. Peck, please answer 2 questions for me: 1. If you are cutting $800K but AdministrativeRead More Salaries are up over $118K, where are the cuts coming from. I have always been a patron of the Park District and want to know which of my programs your skimming off to pay yourself and Mr. Booth. 2. "Our staff deserves a lot of credit for this budget,” Peck said, “as their efforts to hold the line wherever possible have led to our success on behalf of District residents." Is reducing hours of employees the way you reward your staff now? I'm very upset that you honestly thought that cutting loyal employees hours instead of offering benefits was a good idea. I have a better one, cut the hours of Mr. Booth who has an unnecessary job and use his pay and salaries to offset the 4 loyal part-time workers. I will not hold my breath for your answers since answering questions to the people who pay your salary isn't on your to do list

I just listed a teak patio set. I would not like to separate but you could use the teak chairs forRead More additional seating on a front porch or patio....I had 2 of the chairs on my front porch. asking $250 for the set. Call if interested 815-405-6416

I have an extra square table. It is a glass top, more rectangle than square, hole in the center forRead More an umbrella. I had spray painted it dark brown to cover rust since it is older and could use a touch up again but otherwise table is in good condition. I bought a new set myself last year but kept this table to use for garage sales. For $25 it is yours! Michele at michelev333@aol.com :)
