The scariest costume of 2011? That's an easy one. President Obama. The best topical Halloween costumes of 2011? Well, Obama failed to make that list. Instead, three Republican candidates joined Kate Middleton in TIME magazine's 10 Best (Topical) Halloween Costumes for 2011. Who were they? Governor Rick Perry, Representative Michele Bachmann and businessman Herman Cain all made the list. The article suggests re-using your Sarah Palin outfit last year and walking around wide-eyed to be Bachmann. You'll need some cowboy chaps to be Perry. And you're going to need a suit and pizza box to pull off Cain. In the...

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A recent Halloween party hosted by a Mormon church ward in Utah angered at least one resident after fliers specified no "cross-gender" costumes. The Salt Lake Tribune reports ( http://bit.ly/tADEfV) that meant no girls dressed as Harry Potter or boys as Lady Liberty at the party in Sandy. Raquel Smith says she was "appalled" when she read the flier taped to her door. She is not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The flier urged children to "wear costumes" but noted, "please no masks or cross-gender dressing." Smith calls it...

A man dressed in a cow suit managed to rob a busy Stafford, Virginia Walmart of 26 gallons of milk on Tuesday night before being nabbed by the cops. Apparently, the cow-suited criminal escaped the megastore by crawling out the doors, "trying to emulate cattle." He then began handing out the stolen jugs right outside the store before making his escape, in a sort of bovine interpretation of Robin Hood. Stafford County Sheriff's office spokesman, Bill Kennedy, tells us that he believes the cow suit did not entirely cover the suspect's face, making him easy to spot at the near-by...

Wednesday is a good day for Wonder Woman. This 69-year-old superheroine, published by DC Comics, will don a new — and less revealing — costume and enjoy the publication of Issue No. 600 of her monthly series. The costume ties into an alternative history for the character devised by J. Michael Straczynski , the new writer of the series. Mr. Straczynski, who created the television show “Babylon 5” and wrote the screenplay for “Changeling” in 2008, starring Angelina Jolie, said in an e-mail message that he wanted to address “the wardrobe issue” as soon as he took the job. “She’s...
