Zombies hiding in the blue grass?

WE ARE PATIENTLY waiting for the Associated Press to update its report on the hacker who invaded an electronic traffic sign along Interstate 71-75 in Kentucky to warn motorists of zombies down the road. It sounds silly, but considering the odd things that have happened in Ohio's neighboring state, it kinda makes you wonder whether the hacker wasn't kidding. Look at it this way: It's the same state where the voters have sent such luminaries as Jim Bunning, Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell to the U.S. Senate and boasts of having nearly 5 million barrels of bourbon in storage. Isn't it reasonable to assume that the state also is friendly territory for partying zombies on the prowl for a night out?

Republican attack of "vibrations of weirdness"

ARCH CONSERVATIVE George Will's discovery of "vibrations of weirdness" within the Republican Party is hardly news to liberals who have been scorned for saying the same thing for a long time. He was reacting to presidential wannabe Mike Huckabee's insistence that Barack Obama has evolved from the Zombies that we've been hearing so much about these days. By the way that he continues to make a fool of himself in the media, it's evident that he is increasingly immodest about his credibility....Meantime, Sen. John McCain was back on the Sunday morning talk shows, which is the equivalent of staring into the same cage at the zoo for hours while ignoring all of the other attractions. The networks simply won't allow him to back-pedal into oblivion.

And how about this one: the Republican House Speaker in New Hampshire is upset because hordes of young people register and vote on the same day. He wants the practice to end and there's a Republican bill in the legislature that would do just that. Says Speaker Bill O'Brien of the tads: "They don't have life experience and they just vote their feelings and they're taking away the town's ability to govern themselves." Gee. I thought that's what adult voters do.
