Welcome to The Half Hour Happy Hour's spooktacular Halloween episode. We start off with a little info one where Halloween came from, how it get to where it is, and how much we Americans like to spend on it. We've also got some awesome pumpkin carving pictures. After the Halloween talk, we move on to topics like the Polish cops who got fired for protecting Paris Hilton, why it would be a bad thing if the U.S. got out of debt, and what kind of hijinks PETA is getting up to these days. Then I offer a bit of a counterpoint to some of previous space exploration discussions. We wouldn't want to appear biased, of course. So grab that beer and give a listen.
