Zombies, zombies everywhere

I have gone a good stretch here without mentioning the z-word. However, I do feel compelled to break the silence now. As this blog has noted, zombies have shown up in all kinds of places lately.

If memory serves, Occupy Wall Street had some zombie actions. The Centers for Disease Control lightheartedly used zombies as a hook to talk about disaster preparedness. There are now road races for runners which involve trying to keep ahead of zombies.

Here's the latest: zombies will be doing their bit for national security next month in a five day counter terrorism summit as training tools.

I can hardly wait to see where they show up next.

CALOO CALLAY NO LINKS TODAY. We're cabbages and kings. More like cabbages, actually.
