Is
it Halloween already, because there is a creep in the air. Is that patriotism I smell or are they
rubbing wax on this election because one candidate has the look of latex while
the other is doing a good impersonation of a Disney animatronic president. Yet, I feel the ghosts of dead presidents are awakening
only to wreak havoc on the holiday before the election – or perhaps the
election itself. Which
brings me to what I’m really referring to.
Presidential
hopeful or not, a demented tour of the old Presidential Wax Works could prove
quite rewarding or simply quite creepy. Don’t
take it from me, take it from the work's 70’s
old night watchman. But be warned: Please leave your sanity at the door.
