Zombies and politics - together at last.

A lazy Sunday... responding to emails and watching Day of the Dead (the 1978 original, of course). A whiny tech-support phone call to Ben and Topher coincidentally pointed me to this:

Homecoming - "In an election year, dead veterans of the current conflict crawl out of their graves and stagger single-mindedly to voting booths so they can eject the president who sent them to fight a war sold on 'horseshit and elbow grease.'" - Village Voice. The ever zesty Slate also thinks it's brilliant.

I love America. We may louse things up on occasion, but we can always analyze it after the fact, by way of the walking dead. Irresponsible consumption: Dawn of the Dead. Racism: Night of the Living Dead (coincidental as the commentary may have been - just so happened that the best actor for the job was black). And now we've taken on hamhanded foreign policy and election fraud by way of ghoul.

In case of zombie attack, remember: Blades never need reloading.
