I thoroughly enjoyed the first story revolving around Bart and his evil siamese twin. It played nicely into the character of Bart and how he is often viewed as a menace being the eternal prankster and bain of many folks lifes in Springfield. I liked the subversion at the end where it is revealed that Bart is in fact the evil twin and always has been. Although this isn't actually cannon it being a Halloween episode I still get a chuckle thinking of this when I watch the Simpsons.
Unfortunately the 2 storys proceeding the excellent opener are a massive let down. The miniature city thing went nowhere really and was more about Bart getting one over on Lisa than anything else.
The final story of Alien presidents also fell flat for me and offered no real political commentary so it made me wonder again what the point of the story was.
Don't get me wrong there are some good gags in the last 2 stories but not enough to make the episode an overall winner in my book.
