…The Walking Dead series now*: this is pretty much everything that I’d be there for. Don’t click on the video if your job inexplicably has a problem with zombies being headshotted; and if your job does, my sympathies.

(Via @eddiebear) ‘Revenant’ cows – what does Firefox mean, “revenant” is a misspelled word!?! NO, IT IS NOT! It is in the damned dictionary and everything. Dear sweet God, but I am tired of dealing with spell-checking software written by people with less command of the English language than myself. There’s no excuse, you know: if “squamous” passes muster, so should “revenant.”
Anyway, they’re apparently cloning cow meat. Why this should be an issue for anybody is a bit of a mystery: if the stuff isn’t poisonous, isn’t mutagenic – DAMMIT, THAT’S A WORD TOO – isn’t a breeding ground for exciting new diseases, and tastes all right, I’m missing the problem. Even if the stupid things do revive and start shuffling around for prey: I’m not a cow, which means (pretty much by definition) that I wouldn’t have to worry about the dangers of post-necrotic anthropophagy.
OK, that one I admit that I had to look up the right spelling.
As in, the double standard argument? – because it’s freaking hard to argue with this logic:
Although Brooks

*My major problem with Brooks’ general arguments against using high caliber weapons against the living dead is that I don’t think that he takes kinetic impact fully into account when judging their effects. The same relative lack of internal body fluids that minimize the effects of hydrostatic shock will also provide a zombie’s internal frame with less structural integrity; and, at any rate, Newton’s Third Law still applies. If a zombie stops a 20 mm bullet moving at a mile per second (I think that the above’s a M61 Vulcan, but this isn’t my field of study) something’s going to happen that will wreck the zombie’s day; I wouldn’t be shocked if the older ones didn’t get shredded on the spot.
I encourage my readers with military experience to correct any errors. Again, military weaponry is not one of my fields of study.
I know nothing about the race for New Orleans Coroner (except that yes, it is an elected position): I don’t know the participants, the issues, the truthfulness of this ad, or even whether I’m helping a Republican or a Democrat by reproducing it.
AND I DON’T CARE.
Via TPM, who couldn’t believe that that an ad where the coroner of New Orleans is being accused of selling organs actually got commercial airtime, either. But they got confirmation.

(Via Fark Geek) Some people have all the luck.
A lump of metal which smashed through the roof of a house is believed to have come from space, the RAF has said.
The 4lb object was investigated by the RAF Flight Safety Branch after it landed in the loft of Peter and Mair Welton’s home in Forester Way, Hull, in July this year.
Then again, this is how a lot of zombie flicks start, so if you start to hear of ravenous walking corpses rampaging through… it looks like central-East England… you’ll at least now know which locale to futilely nuke.

I don’t think that I’ve seen the original Romero flick
Via FilmDrunk.
It’s a good trailer, but there are a lot of good trailers for bad flicks out there. Opinions?

About 20 minutes earlier, a man on MoveOn.org’s side of the street crossed over and shouted “Why don’t you like the public option?” Several of the counter-protesters said that they don’t want the government to run everything. The MoveOn.org man got nose to nose with a short, gray-haired counter-protester, and sneered, “You’re an idiot.”
At that point, I’m told the victim either swung at or pushed his assailant’s face away with an open hand, and his finger entered his mouth.
[snip]
The MoveOn.org protester then allegedly bit off the finger up to the first knuckle, and spat it into the street where it was recovered by Bush.
(H/T) @jeffemanuel.
The Moveon.org zombie apparently then left. At a walk. And none of his Moveon.org colleagues stopped him. And then they themselves later walked through the crime scene.
Again: wait, what?
Moe Lane Continue reading Moveon.org zombie bites off health care protester’s finger. Wait, what?
Probably the funniest interview that you’ll read today; almost certainly funnier than the flick that they’re going to be in. A taste:
Wired.com: After the Observe and Report premiere in Austin during South by Southwest, there was some awestruck talk about your zombie-fighting plan. What is the plan, and what part did it play in your getting hired for the roles?
John Yuan: The plan is to make it to a hardware store near our home. It’s a fort, but not an obvious choice like a mall or police station. It has everything we need for short-term survival as well as the tools we’ll need to carry the seeds of civilization out of the hellhole that L.A. is going to turn into.
Matt Yuan: We hate to say this, because it’s kind of our trump card, but yes — Jody did hire us because of our zombie-survival plan. In fact, our plan has gotten us hired dozens of times.
John Yuan: Well, that and our Adonis-like physiques.

PS: If you don’t have a zombie plan, get one
I always think that I sound weird and nervous in these. The first doesn’t bug me – after all, I am weird – but the second is not something that I can do anything about, besides do more things like these. Thirty minutes or so of very strange policy analysis on Breitbart’s B-Cast below:
My major regret? Not mentioning Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
