Zombies pose no threat at Palin event:
ASHEVILLE - Supporters of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will have plenty to see outside the Civic Center if they are unable to get inside for her Sunday appearance.As many as 700 zombies are expected to amble up Flint Street past the Civic Center about 5 p.m., just after doors open for the Palin event.
But a Republican who is afraid of Obama even more than of zombies already made this advertisement:

Zombies eat brains.
Rethugs have nothing to fear.

I thought of Poe's law when I watched it (twice). One of those cases when reality is so crazy that it is impossible to distinguish it from parody.

Zombie walks are great fun! They're almost never political, just for fun and to entertain/confuse the public. Here's one I just took part in, the first Salem Zombie Walk.

ROFLmeow! They couldn't have gotten the timing better if they'd planned it!
OTOH, it's a good thing they didn't plan it. They'd never have gotten a permit to do the zombie thing right in front of a political rally venue. Of course I wouldn't put it past the local authorities to call out the riot police the way they did at the RNC. At the very least, I expect them to try to divert the parade.
