#1 The zombie pic is great, but how about something more subtle, like alec baldwin?

#2 I've been reading "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" recently. The premise of the story is that slavery is not only backed by the southern slave-owners but also vampires, who view slavery as a means to raise and harvest easily disposable victims. All this, of course, leading to the Civil War. Great for some lighter summer reading!

#3 Check out World War Z by Max Brooks. It is the oral history of our war against the zombies. Picture a cross between Studs Terkel's The Good War and Night of the Living Dead.

#4 I'm picturing two al-Qaeda middle managers discussing how to get the zombies to yell "Allah Akbar" instead of "brains!" before blowing being blown up by remote control.

In Chicago, they would just lock the zombies in steel boxes until it was time to bring them out to vote, and probably register voters for ACORN, as well. Otherwise, their official jobs would be as public school janitors.

In Arizona, they would just herd the zombies down to the border for all you can eat Mexican food.

Now that would be an insult to Zombies.... Who, at one time, were living, caring people.

#7 Yeah, if you've done a bunch of rum swizzles, it's best not to upgrade to zombies.

#8 Pretty sure Castro is "metabolically challenged". Possibly Kimmie too.

#9 Zombies are an allegory for (militant) Islam.
