Lou got his inspiration, instead, from this site. My wife, Carrie, has some smart things to say about Lou's handiwork. As for me? I'm thinking the homicidal pumpkin represents the average American voter who's sick to death of the presidential campaign and would like to stick some strategist's head on a pike.
