Inside joke As I watched Saturday Night Live offer up lame impersonations of Harry Reid and Obama, I couldn’t help but think: I wanna see Kristen Wiig’s Sharron Angle! — Ken Miller, associate editor

Halloween costume ideas A tater tot hot dish would be good. Or maybe just one tater tot. Or Franz Kafka. Or Max! Or a two-headed Franz and Max. — Kristen Peterson, staff writer
