A few weeks ago, the Post reported that the economy had forced the annual Village Halloween Parade to downsize from 11 floats last year to just three (there were 20-25 floats in more flush years). But then this week, the parade said there would be a dozen—and the parade's director is giving credit to the Post for helping make it a real parade.
Parade director Jeanne Fleming said, "The Post's article made such a difference. I was resigned to only having three floats, but everyone came through after reading the article." For instance, sponsor Monster Energy Drink, which had dropped out, had a change of heart, with its marketing manager saying, "When I read that the parade was suffering, I found a way to fit it into my budget." The Monster Energy Drink float will have a "live band, scantily clad girls and ghouls covered in body paint."
The parade travels up Sixth Avenue from Spring Street starting at 7 p.m., winding up at 21st Street, but Sixth Avenue is closed at Canal through 21st. Bars are especially excited, since it's not just Halloween on a Saturday night—it's also daylight savings!

Trick-Or-Treat Liberal/Obama/Socialist Style
The kids in our neighborhood are in for a rude awakening come today. But years from now, they will thank us for teaching them a valuable lesson.
You see, this year — I thought it would only be fitting to offer the kiddies a prelude of things to come now that Obama a.k.a. “almost a president” is in office.
But I needed to offer it in a manner which their young minds could process.
The candy.
Today, instead of sitting on the front porch marveling at all of the fairies, princesses, ninjas and comic book super heroes that merrily march up my front sidewalk, I will be teaching them some valuable principles of Socialism.
Before I dole out the candy bars, lollipops and tootsie-rolls, I will be conducting bag checks.
So, if you happen to be one of the motivated munchkins that diligently hit every house in the subdivision, and reeled in a hefty bag of loot, I am afraid I am going to need to lighten your load a bit.
I will explain to them that this process is an effort to - spread the candy around. We have to make it fair to the kids who did not receive as much candy as they did. They may have parents that were working late at a second job to help keep them in their homes. They may live in neighborhoods were it just is not safe to go out trick-or-treating. But whatever the reason, we have to make sure that those kids get some candy as well.
I did not forget the adults, either. While it certainly appears that most voters already have these in their possession, I will be handing out earplugs and blindfolds as well. That will help to block out the noise of those pesky conservative Tea Party commercials that keep cropping up. The blindfolds will spare their eyes from having to view the vapid stare and wardrobe excesses of that DIVA Sarah Palin.
And they will also help keep them in the dark about what is actually happening to them now that the Obama’s a.k.a. “the George Soros Puppets” are in the White House. They will need those earplugs and blindfolds in an effort to forget that they brought the ensuing mess upon themselves
Happy (Redistribution) Halloween!
Always nice to have stoops...stupes to observe life from.
sic, sic!
Since when did the crazy preachy hobos get internet access?
sic, sic!
Mr Glen Beck, it's time to stop using the computer and take your medication.
And stop crying, already.
The next step in radical liberal/socialist teaching? The schools will grade tests to assure that those who get an “A” could give up part of their grade to those who might have gotten only a “C”. Hmmm, Maybe thats good --- that might make students think twice about this utopia called socialism and how great it would be for them. On the other hand, radical liberals can't accept opposite views therefore, they are brain dead and dangerous!
Just do what you always do: lock the front door, close the drapes, turn down the lights...and stew.
There outta be a law directed at these Capitalistic Pigs!
How about more redistribution (I mean sharing) of their wealth? These greedy conservative individuals need to spare more than "just a dime," with us uneducated liberal radicals, I mean the needy! (middle class)
Wow! All you have to do is simply mentin New York Post and the crazy people come out with their oh-so-clever little "Obama is a socialist/communist/muslim/foreigner/fascist/Democrat/martian manifestos.
TO Sommelier with love from Michelle.
Michelle Obama: “For the first time in my adult life, I am not proud of my husband. We sacrificed, prepped the crowd, and he comes in and blows the deal. Do you realize how long we have planned this? This was our future. Our children’s future. Now, we’ll have to devise another way to make money from our position as First Family. Valerie? Get that bitch, I mean, Hillary on the phone. We need some advice.”
every house in the subdivision? what the heck is that?
tootsie rolls? what is the the 1950's?
you're one of the people who gives out crappy candy.
sic, sic!
Hey Moran, cat got your tongue?
Hey brainless! Is that your best___repeating short phrases from other idiot know nothing liberals? Stop stepping on your tounge with your senseless, meaningless one liners. Your dribble is meaningless, weightless and pointless. You sound like the racist “almost president” Jimmy “crack corn” Carter
It's pointless to get in an argument w/this guy because he's right, and no one can tell him otherwise.
Listen, Momoran ... I'm sorry you're so angry that Obama (the socialist / communist / liberal / hippie / pinko / insert appropriately pejorative noun here) is President. I'd like to engage you further on this topic but I need to go redistribute my kids' Halloween candy. They got a nice haul while trolling the subdivision last night.
I think you've got me mixed up with an uneducated, limited growth potential liberal who can't accept an opposite point of view --- offer one, and their brains crash! Hey evbo a.k.a. "bottom feeder," in small letters I'm not angry, I'm here to educate and enlighten you -- and, offer you an opportunity to be conservative in thought.
YOUR radical Obama is failing. Failing big. Failing fast. And failing everywhere: foreign policy, domestic initiatives, and most importantly, in forging connections with the real American people. The “almost president,” is failing because he has lost control of his message, and is overexposed. YOUR lying Obama is failing because fundamentally he is neither smart nor articulate; his intellectual dishonesty is conspicuous by its audacity and lack of shame. It's not so much that he's a phony, knows nothing about economics, is historically illiterate, and woefully small minded for the size of the task-- all contributory of course. It's that he's not one of us --- although, maybe one of your kind. And whatever he is, his profile is fuzzy and devoid of content, like a cardboard cutout made from delaminated corrugated paper.
