	Definitely go with Al Jolson. The problem with dressing like
McCaulley Culkin and Charlton Heston are only offensive depending on what
you find offensive (though, personally, I thought his performance in
Planet Of The Apes was pretty goddamn dire!). Jolson works because it is
visually offensive from the start. You'll get the right on liberals
worrying if you're a racist or not (and in what ways they can conclusively
demonstrate that they are not racist) for a start.

It could, of course, get you fired.

P.S. How about going as "IT"...
