I<\/em><\/strong>f your sensibilities are at all like mine, you passed your political-ad nausea threshold weeks ago, and need a barf bag next to the sofa or la-z-boy in your tv room, as we enter the last week of pre-election advertising. And, it hasn’t helped at all that our campaign to rid<\/a> the pundit lexicon of the term “battleground state” has had no noticeable effect. I’ve been watching the public television network even more than usual to avoid the effluent electoral flow of mud and misleading claims, while relying on Obama Girl<\/a> again for my political fix.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> If all the angry ads leave you wanting to grab a knife and stab something, the f\/k\/a<\/em> Gang suggests you sublimate those feelings and have some fun at ZombiePumpkins.com<\/a>, where you’ll find a bounteous crop of ghoulish and topical patterns for carving surprisingly sophisticated jack-o-lanterns. The presidential pumpkin<\/a> patterns shown above are among the selections. You have to join<\/a> to download their amazing patterns, but you can do a lot of looking and reading for free, or get full access to 183 patterns for as little as $5, and a sampler of any two patterns for $2.<\/p>\n
