Obama's Dep't of Energy's Hilarious and Horrible Halloween Costumes

Sure, you could dress up your moppet as, say, a wind turbine or an energy vampire (two of the Department of Energy's creative suggestions). By why do that when your kid could wear this nifty Ernest Moniz, Ph.D costume?

I know, I know, he sort of looks like an aged Caitlin Jenner--in a pageboy, and in male drag. But he really is rather famous in his own right, at least inside the Beltway.

If you're still at a loss re his identity, all is explained here:

Show everyone how big a fan you are of our nuclear physics-loving, Iran Deal-explaining, classically coiffed Secretary of Energy by dressing up as Ernest Moniz, Ph.D., this Halloween. The hair is key here -- but don’t forget your copy of the Quadrennial Energy Review, the nation’s roadmap to a smarter, more secure and more competitive energy future.

Ingredients:

• Suit & tie
• Stylish “Founding Father” wig
• Quadrennial Energy Review (get it here -- only 348 pages!)

"The hair is key here"--indeed. As it is when dressing up as Donald Trump or Albert Einstein. But since old Ernie loves nuclear-physics and can explain the Iran nuke deal, why would any kid not want to be him?

Assuming, of course, that you can get your hands on a copy of the Quadrennial Energy Review in time.
